# Contributing to Docs
I don't really have any strict conditions for writing documentation,
but just keep these few guidelines in mind:
* Keep code samples in the `guides/samples` folder
* When referencing an object in the API, link to it's page in the
API documentation.
* Documentation should be written in clear and proper English*
\* If anyone is interested in translating documentation into other
languages, please open an issue or contact me on
Discord (`foxbot#0282`).
### Layout
Documentation should be written in a FAQ/Wiki style format.
Recommended reads:
* http://docs.microsoft.com
* http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.12/
Style consistencies:
* Use a ruler set at 70 characters
* Links should use long syntax
* Pages should be short and concise, not broad and long
Example of long link syntax:
```
Please consult the [API Documentation] for more information.
[API Documentation]: xref:System.String
```
### Compiling
Documentation is compiled into a static site using [DocFx].
We currently use the most recent build off the dev branch.
After making changes, compile your changes into the static site with
`docfx`. You can also view your changes live with `docfx --serve`.
