Qt Tool Documentation Front Page

The tool-name.qdoc file is a template for creating a front page for the documentation of a Qt tool, such as Qt Creator or Qt Design Studio.

The purpose of the template is to make it easier for technical writers to create documentation with a consistent look and feel. It was designed by the Qt UX team. For this to work, you cannot move the sections around. You can and must change the text within the angle brackets and check the links.

To use the template

  1. Copy the file to the doc/src folder in your documentation project.
  2. Copy the images that you need from the images folder to the images folder in your documentation project.
  3. Change the text within angle brackets to fit your tool.

Top level table

The top level table should always have the same three columns:

  • INSTALLATION
  • GETTING STARTED
  • TUTORIALS

For best-looking results, try to keep the length of the text in each cell about the same.

If you don't have tutorials, you can list some other type of topics here, such as REFERENCE topics.

ALL TOPICS section

The name and contents of this section depend on your project. For a small doc set, you can list all topics. For a big doc set, you can group topics.

In the Qt Creator Documentation, this section is called HOW TO.
