Where to Start?

1. See frappe-bench/apps/manual_erpnext_com/manual_erpnext_com/www
2. The home page is www/index.html
3. Documentation starts from www/contents/index.html
4. index.txt holds the table of contents of that folder and will be used to produce a list of pages under that section. Any page you add should be added to its parent folder's index.txt. For example, see www/contents/accounts/index.txt.
5. accounts is a folder. But https://manual.erpnext.com/contents/accounts is also a web page. This is handled by having a index.md file under accounts.
6. All images are to be stored in respective folders under manual_erpnext_com/public/img.
7. To link an image in the public folder in the documentation, use /assets/manual_erpnext_com/img/{path_to_the_image}. For example: /assets/manual_erpnext_com/img/accounts/account-settings.png
