\noindent This chapter describes the CentOS Artwork Repository User
0668a4
Guide.  The CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide is the book you are
0668a4
reading right now. The main goals of this book is helping you to
0668a4
understand how CentOS Artwork Repository works, and what you can do to
0668a4
get the best of it.  It is also an excuse for you to join us and help
0668a4
improving it.

\section{Structure}
0668a4
0668a4
Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, documentation is conceived using
0668a4
\LaTeX's book class. Instead of having the entire document in a single
0668a4
file, information has been spread in separated files under Manuals
0668a4
framework structure. The Manuals framework structure is illustrated in
0668a4
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:Structure} and described in
0668a4
``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Files}{Relevant Files}'' (see
0668a4
\autoref{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Files}) and
0668a4
``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Directories}{Relevant Directories}''
0668a4
(see \autoref{sec:Concepts:Manuals:Directories}).

\section{Writing Style}
0668a4
0668a4
When writing for CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide, keep in mind
0668a4
the following quote taken from the online ``BBC News Styleguide'':
0668a4
---The key to good writing is \textbf{simple thoughts simply
0668a4
expressed}.  Use short sentences and short words.  Anything which is
0668a4
confused, complicated, poorly written or capable of being
0668a4
misunderstood risks losing the listener or viewer, and once you have
0668a4
done that, you might just as well not have come to work---.
0668a4
0668a4
If you need to express complicated ideas, try to split them out in
0668a4
smaller and simpler ideas as much as possible. If you consider it
0668a4
appropriate, try to use
0668a4
``\hyperlink{sec:Concepts:Identity:Models}{Design Models}'' (see
0668a4
\autoref{sec:Concepts:Identity:Models}) to illustrate your thoughts.
0668a4
0668a4
\subsection{Cross References}
0668a4
0668a4
When you create \LaTeX's cross references, you need to define targets
0668a4
and links.  Targets are the specific locations in the document that
0668a4
links point to.  In \LaTeX, these cross reference targets and links
0668a4
can be defined in many ways, so we need to standardize the way we use
0668a4
inside CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide to make it look uniform
0668a4
and easy to read.
0668a4
0668a4
Inside CentOS Artwork Repository User Guide, cross references look
0668a4
like illustrated in
0668a4
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:CrossRef:Presentation}.  Cross reference
0668a4
targets are defined as illustrated in
0668a4
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:CrossRef:Targets}, and links to those
0668a4
targets are defined as illustrated in
0668a4
\autoref{fig:Concepts:Manuals:CrossRef:Links}. 
0668a4
0668a4
Note that we use both \texttt{hypertarget} and \texttt{label} commands
0668a4
to define targets, and \texttt{hyperlink} and \texttt{autoref} to
0668a4
define links.  With \texttt{hyperlink} we create long text links
0668a4
---usefull when reading in the coputer---, and with \texttt{autoref}
0668a4
we create numbered links ---usefull when reading in a printed copy---.

0668a4
\LaTeX's \texttt{figure} environment can be found in \LaTeX's info
