== How it works
Fedora documentation uses the Antora WEB CMS to build and manage the Web site. Documentation is once created static content, with updates from time to time. This is exactly what Antora specializes in. It gathers static text documents and transforms them into a complete Web site, including navigation, links, formatting, positioning, adaptation to different output devices, etc. For more general information about the Antora publishing system, see the https://antora.org/[Antora website] and https://docs.antora.org/antora/latest/page/[Antora documentation].

=== Some technical background
Fedora uses _AsciiDoc_ to format text in a simple and efficient way. It closely follows natural writing styles in everyday notes for structuring and highlighting. In this way, you can use any editor, including almost any word processor that can edit and save Ascii Text. More about this below.

The AsciiDoc text document is stored in series of GIT repositories. This is a system especially popular among software developers, but also very capable for managing text documents. GIT encourages and facilitates the use of the 4-eyes principle by a "Pull (or Merge) Request Workflow". You only need to worry about the details of this workflow if you want to set up a local work environment intended for professional and frequent contributions. All other tools take care of the necessary steps in the background.
