Writing a Tutorial

A tutorial should have a clear goal and present step-by-step instructions to achieve that goal.

Example Tutorial

This introductory sentence should state the intent and goal of the tutorial. Keep it brief.

This next block should state any assumptions that you the writer are making. Present them in list form, for example:

This tutorial assumes:

• GeoServer is running on http://localhost:8080/geoserver
• PostGIS is installed on the system

Getting started

State any numbered introductory steps in this section. These might include:

1. Downloading data
2. Creating a database

Other sections

In a single sentence, state what will be achieved in this section. Then list the steps the user needs to take:

1. Step one

2. Step two

   Note

   When documenting application use follow the markdown guidelines for buttons, links, filenames, user input and item selection, and definition lists for filling in a form.
