Documentation Wiki Structure

Hierarchy

The Documentation section is only part of the large OpenOffice.org Wiki. The doc.oo.o project tries to present the information in this section in a way that it is easily accessible and has a structure that allows straightforward navigation for both users and contributors.

All documentation pages are subpages of the main Documentation page. A further substructure presents sections as subpages containing further subpages. Think of it as a hierarchical representation, just like a file system.

The current wiki page tree looks like this:

wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation
