+Documentation Style
+===================
+
+A brief single sentence to describe what this file contains; in this case a
+description of the style to write documentation in.
+
+
+Sections
+========
+
+Each section should be separated from the others by two blank lines. Headings
+should be underlined using a row of equals signs (===). Paragraphs should be
+separated by a single blank line, and wrap to no further than 80 columns.
+
+[[TODO(username): if you want to leave some unanswered questions, notes for
+further consideration, or other kinds of comment, use a TODO section. Make sure
+to notate it with your name so we know who to ask about it!]]
+
+Subsections
+-----------
+
+If required, subsections can use a row of dashes to underline their header. A
+single blank line between subsections of a single section.
+
+
+Bullet Lists
+============
+
+ * Bullet lists can use asterisks with a single space either side.
+ 
+ * Another blank line between list elements.
+
+
+Definition Lists
+================
+
+Terms:
+  Start in the first column, ending with a colon
+
+Definitions:
+  Take a two space indent, following immediately from the term without a blank
+  line before it, but having a blank line afterwards.
