\noindent This chapter describes the CentOS Artwork Repository User
4c79b5
Guide.  The CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide is the book you are
4c79b5
reading right now. The main goals of this book is helping you to
4c79b5
understand how CentOS Artwork Repository works, and what you can do to
4c79b5
get the best of it.  It is also an excuse for you to join us and help
4c79b5
improving it.

\section{Structure}
4c79b5
4c79b5
Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, documentation is conceived using
4c79b5
\LaTeX's book class. Instead of having the entire document in a single
4c79b5
file, information has been spread in separated files under Manuals
4c79b5
framework structure. The Manuals framework structure is illustrated in
4c79b5
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:Structure} and described in
4c79b5
``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Files}{Relevant Files}'' (see
4c79b5
\autoref{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Files}) and
4c79b5
``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Directories}{Relevant Directories}''
4c79b5
(see \autoref{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Directories}).

\section{Writing Style}
4c79b5
4c79b5
When writing for CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide, keep in mind
4c79b5
the following quote taken from the online ``BBC News Styleguide'':
4c79b5
---The key to good writing is \textbf{simple thoughts simply
4c79b5
expressed}.  Use short sentences and short words.  Anything which is
4c79b5
confused, complicated, poorly written or capable of being
4c79b5
misunderstood risks losing the listener or viewer, and once you have
4c79b5
done that, you might just as well not have come to work---.
4c79b5
4c79b5
If you need to express complicated ideas, try to split them out in
4c79b5
smaller and simpler ideas as much as possible. If you consider it
4c79b5
appropriate, try to use
4c79b5
``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Identity:Models}{Design Models}'' (see
4c79b5
\autoref{sec:Concepts:Identity:Models}) to illustrate your thoughts.
4c79b5
4c79b5
\subsection{Cross References}
4c79b5
4c79b5
When you create \LaTeX's cross references, you need to define targets
4c79b5
and links.  Targets are the specific locations in the document that
4c79b5
links point to.  In \LaTeX, these cross reference targets and links
4c79b5
can be defined in many ways, so we need to standardize the way we use
4c79b5
inside CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide to make it look uniform
4c79b5
and easy to read.
4c79b5
4c79b5
Inside CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide, cross references look
4c79b5
like illustrated in
4c79b5
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:CrossRef:Presentation}.  Cross reference
4c79b5
targets are defined as illustrated in
4c79b5
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:CrossRef:Targets}, and links to those
4c79b5
targets are defined as illustrated in
4c79b5
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:CrossRef:Links}. 
4c79b5
4c79b5
Note that we use both \texttt{hypertarget} and \texttt{label} commands
4c79b5
to define targets, and \texttt{hyperlink} and \texttt{autoref} to
4c79b5
define links.  With \texttt{hyperlink} we create long text links
4c79b5
---usefull when reading in the coputer---, and with \texttt{autoref}
4c79b5
we create numbered links ---usefull when reading in a printed copy---.
