Documentation System

The documentation system defines how documentation is:

  • structured,
  • written,
  • validated, and
  • maintained.

Components

  1. Templates
  2. Policies
  3. Enforcement

Interpretation

  • Templates describe how to structure documentation pages.
  • Policies define constraints and conventions.
  • Enforcement describes which tools, workflows, and custom checks validate the policies.

Relationship

  • Templates strongly suggest a standard structure.
  • Mandatory policies define requirements.
  • Recommended policies define preferred practices.
