+Writing documentation
+=====================
+
+|TS| is documented using `Sphinx`_, which in turn uses Docutils and `Restructured Text`_ (|REST| hereafter).
+
+The source files for the documents are in the *docs* directory of the |TS_REPO|.
+
+The preferred output format is *HTML*, and other formats may or may not work.
+
+
+Section Headings
+----------------
+
+In order to avoid problems if documents include each other, it is important to follow a consistent section heading
+style. Please use at most five heading levels. Please use the following style::
+
+    First-Level Title
+    =================
+
+    Second-Level Title
+    ------------------
+
+    Third-Level Title
+    '''''''''''''''''
+
+    Forth-level Title
+    """""""""""""""""
+
+    Fifth-level Title
+    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+Inline documentation
+--------------------
+
+To get all information integrated into a single document the project uses Sphinx extensions to allow capturing inline
+documentation into this manual.
