## Introduction ¶
¶
Our [lua documentation](https://www.widelands.org/documentation/index.html) is build with the [Sphinx-doc Documentation creator](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/index.html). You might have noticed that the documentation has some chapters contains the word "python", this due Sphinx-doc is mainly used to document python projects, but there is no Lua documentation creator we use Sphinx-dco with some difficulties. This article covers the workflow to add Lua documentation, some styling rules and some examples for easy copy and paste. ¶
