+ Titel

+
+Configuration mode pages
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A configuration mode folder and article covers a specific level of a command.
+The exact level depends on the command. This should provide stability for URLs
+used in the forum or blogpost.
+
+For example:
+
+ * ``set zone-policy`` is written in ``zone-policy/index.rst``
+ * ``set interfaces ethernet`` is written in ``interfaces/ethernet.rst``
+
+The article starts with a short intruducing about the command or the technologie.
+Please include some helpfull links or background informations.
+
+After this a optional section follows. Some commands have requirements like the
+compatible hardware (e.g. Wifi) or some commands you have to set before. For
+example it is recommended to set a route-map before configure bgp.
+
+In the configuration part of the page all possible confiuration options
+should be documented. Use ``.. cfgcmd::`` like described above.
+
+Related Operation command must be documented in the next part of the article.
+Use ``::opcmd..`` for these commands.
+
+If there some troubleshooting guides releated to the commands. Explain it in the
+next optional part.
+
+Operation mode pages
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Operation mode commands, which didn't fit in a related configuraton mode command
+must documented in this part of the documentation.
+
+General concepts for troubleshooting belong here as well as detailed process
+descriptions.
+
+Anything else
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Anything else what is not a configuration or a operation command have no
+predefined structure.
