+section:Writing{nbsp}Documentation[writing-docs,documentation]
+
+For every new feature, writing documentation is _mandatory_ for the patch to
+be accepted. The docs are written in
+http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html[asciidoc] version 8.x or
+newer. The are placed in the _src/locale/en-US/_ directory and compiled with
+{{make doc}}. Please refer to the asciidoc documentation above for details.
+Usually you can just write text as is, and mostly it will be interpreted
+correctly. The only difficult part is to write special sections like for
+help::help[various.html,:help].
+
+
+    |<F1>| |:help| |:h| |help|
+    ||:h[elp] {subject}|| +
+    ||<F1>||
+    ____________________________________________________________________________
+    Open help window. 
+    The default section is shown unless {subject} is specified.
+    If you need help for a specific topic, try [c]:help overview[c].
+    ____________________________________________________________________________
+
+Some notes about the code above:
+
+- *$$|<F1>|$$* defines a _tag_. A tag is written at the right in magenta and let's
+  you jump to a topic with [c]:help <F1>[c]. Note that you must write it from
+  right to left, so in the above example $$|help|$$ will be the most left tag,
+  and \|<F1>\| the most right one.
+- *$$||:h[elp] {subject}|| +$$* and *$$||<F1>||$$* define command or mapping
+  names and are printed on the left side. Note the + at the end of one
+  command, that indicates a new line. There is no general rule when a new line
+  is needed and when not, just try it out and see what looks better.
+- The actual help code for this command is embedded in at least 4 underscores
+  (_). This generates a quoteblock and indents the text so it is more clear
+  that it belongs to the command.
+
+There are also some additional asciidoc commands specifically for writing
+vimperator documentation:
+
+- *$$section:Writing{nbsp}Documentation[writing-docs,documentation]$$* Creates
+  a new section like _Writing Documentation_ in this help file with 2 tags.
+- *$$help:developer{nbsp}information[developer.html,documentation]$$* creates
+  a link with text _developer information_ to the tag _documentation_ in
+  the file _developer.html_.
