## How the documentation is organized

To make it easy for you to find the relevant documentation articles, we organized our docs by the
following categories:

- **[Tutorials][tutorials]** are detailed step-by-step instructions. Start here if you're new to
  HedgeDoc, want to create your first presentation or want to build a simple API application.
- **[How-to guides][how-to]** target the more advanced users and guide them through a variety of
  topics, addressing non-trivial use-cases. They are more advanced than tutorials and assume some
  knowledge of HedgeDoc.
- **[Core concepts][core-concepts]** explain the internal structure of HedgeDoc by providing
  background information and explanations. They are especially useful for contributing to HedgeDoc.
- **[References][references]** are details to lookup in a non-guided way. These include for example
  configuration options or API methods.
