I've been working a little bit on the @novelwriter documentation today as well. It's starting to look like what I was aiming for.

The PDF version is now 102 pages though. 😅

My goal is to structure it so that it naturally progresses from the basics to the technical stuff users don't need to know, but contributors and tinkerers do.

The key parts is about how to format plain text, and that is now at the very top, with more advanced features in the middle.

"How to leverage documentation effectively in Cursor through prompting, external sources, and internal context
​
Why documentation matters

Documentation provides current, accurate context. Without it, models use outdated or incomplete training data. Documentation helps models understand things like:

- Current APIs and parameters
- Best practices
- Organization conventions
- Domain terminology

And much more. Read on to learn how to use documentation right in Cursor without having to context switch."

I generally like working with reStructuredText for technical documentation. I use it a lot both at work and on my own projects.

But the little detail that a single space off on the indentation turns something into a block quote, which happens *all the time* in lists with sub points, is rather annoying. They should have stuck with ">" for block quotes instead.

I see these accidental block quotes all the time in documentation.
