UserGuideTemplate

Basic rules writing RedDeer User Guide

When you received task to create wiki User Guide section , it refers to pages under User Guide wiki page (https://github.com/jboss-reddeer/reddeer/wiki/User-Guide)

These are basic rules and good principles that user wiki section page should fulfill:

• it should be example driven (examples and small tutorials), for API specifics there is javadoc
• from simple to complex - start with simple examples
• use syntax formatting and images when referring to somthing that can be shown visually
• start with simple introduction (API and usage) and follow with examples
• warn users about possible issues there and unsupported scenarios
• if page grows please split it into multiple documents so it user can find particular information quickly from main User Guide Page
• if referring to real example doc should link to existing code in org.jboss.reddeer.examples (formely wiki - this will be updated)
• when it's finish please update main UserGuide wiki page

Possible template example (not suiteable for all sections)
