1# Technical Documentation

Technical Documentation for the planning data service.

Live Documentation

This project used to use the Tech Docs Template, which is a Middleman template that you can use to build technical documentation using a GOV.UK style.

But we found that using the template required knowledge of Ruby which isn't a requirement of our project and was difficult for alll members of the team to interact with so we switched to X-GOVUK Eleventy Plugin.

We have customised the layout so that edits don't need any special knowledge other than creating and editing markdown files. To make a change simply edit the relvent document or create a new one in the docs directory and the sidenav will automatically update!
