# Documentation Standard
This document will serve as a guide and example of some rules that need to be
followed in order to contribute to the documentation.
We use a mix of markdown and HTML tags to customize the documentation along with an
[`extra.css`](https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla/tree/master/Docs/extra.css) file.
---
## Rules
* Leave always an empty line between sections and at the end of the document.
* Writting should not exceed `100` columns, except for HTML related content, markdown tables,
code snipets and referenced links.
* If an inline link exceeds the limit, use referenced `[name][reference_link]` markdown notation
`[reference_link]: https://` rather than `[name](https://)`.
* Use `<br>` to make inline jumps rather than leaving two spaces at the end of a line.
* Use `<h1>Title</h1>` at the beggining of a new page in order to make a Title or
`<hx>Heading<hx>` to make a heading that **won't show** on the navigation bar.
* Use `------` underlining a Heading or `#` hierarchy to make headings and show them in the
navigation bar.
---
## Exceptions
* Documentation generated via python scripts like PythonAPI reference
