+**************************
+Creating VPP Documents
+**************************
These instructions show how the VPP documentation sources are built.
-FD.io VPP Documentation uses `reStructuredText <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/index.html>`_ (rst) files, which are used by `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.
-We will also cover how to view your build on Read the Docs in `Using Read the Docs`_.
-
+The VPP Documents are written using `reStructuredText <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/index.html>`_ (rst),
+or markdown (md). These files are then built using the Sphinx build system `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.
-To build your files, you can either `Create a Virtual Environment using virtualenv`_, which installs all the required applications for you, or you can `Install Sphinx manually`_.

-
-Skip this step if you created a *virtualenv* in the previous step.

-Using Read the Docs
-___________________
-
-`Read the Docs <https://readthedocs.org/>`_ is a website that "simplifies software documentation by automating building, versioning, and hosting of your docs for you". Essentially, it accesses your Github repo to generate the **index.html** file, and then displays it on its own *Read the Docs* webpage so others can view your documentation.
-
-Create an account on *Read the Docs* if you haven't already.
-
-Go to your `dashboard <https://readthedocs.org/dashboard/>`_ , and click on "Import a Project".
-
-.. figure:: /_images/importReadDocs.png
- :scale: 35%
- :align: left
-
- This will bring you to a page where you can choose to import a repo from your Github account (only if you've linked your Github account to your Read the Docs account), or to import a repo manually. In this example, we'll do it manually. Click "Import Manually".
-

-
-This will bring you to a page that asks for your repo details. Set "Name" to your forked repo name, or whatever you want. Set "Repository URL" to the URL of your forked repo (https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/vpp-docs). "Repository type" should already be selected to "Git". Then click "Next".
