# Documentation Quick Start
## Overview
Add a brief overview of this document here.
## Table of Contents
- [Section 1](#section-1)
- [Section 2](#section-2)
This guide will help you quickly set up and start using the Anya Core documentation system.
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- pip (Python package manager)
- Git
## Setup
1. **Clone the repository** (if you haven't already):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/anya-org/anya-core.git
cd anya-core
```
2. **Set up the documentation environment**:
```bash
./scripts/setup_docs.sh
```
This will:
- Create a Python virtual environment
- Install MkDocs and required plugins
- Set up the documentation structure
## Viewing Documentation Locally
To view the documentation locally while you work:
```bash
./scripts/serve_docs.sh
```
This will start a local development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000 that automatically reloads when you make changes.
## Creating New Documentation
1. **Use the template** to create a new document:
```bash
cp docs/.template.md docs/guides/my-new-guide.md
```
2. **Edit the metadata** at the top of the file:
```yaml
---
title: "My New Guide"
description: "A brief description of this guide"
---
```
3. **Add your content** using Markdown syntax.
4. **Update the navigation** in `mkdocs.yml` if you want your new document to appear in the site navigation.
## Documentation Standards
- Follow the [Markdown Style Guide](../standards/MARKDOWN_STYLE_GUIDE.md)
- Include proper AI labeling at the top of each file
- Keep lines under 100 characters
- Use descriptive link text
## Building for Production
To build the documentation for production:
```bash
./scripts/deploy_docs.sh
```
Select option 2 to deploy to GitHub Pages, or option 1 to preview the production build locally.
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Missing dependencies**:
```bash
pip install -r requirements-docs.txt
```
2. **Broken links**:
```bash
./scripts/verify_docs.sh
```
3. **Formatting issues**:
- Ensure all headers have blank lines before and after
- Check for trailing whitespace
- Verify all code blocks have language specified
