LilyPond Contributor's Guide: 6.1 Introduction to website work

## 6.1 Introduction to website work

The website is not written directly in HTML; instead, the source is Texinfo, which is then generated into HTML, PDF, and Info formats. The sources are

>     Documentation/web.texi
>     Documentation/web/*.texi

Unless otherwise specified, follow the instructions and policies given in Documentation work. That chapter also contains a quick introduction to Texinfo; consulting an external Texinfo manual should be not necessary.

### Exceptions to the documentation policies

- Sectioning: the website only uses chapters and sections; no subsections or subsubsections.
- @ref{}s to other manuals (@ruser, @rlearning, etc): you can’t link to any pieces of automatically generated documentation, like the IR or certain NR appendices.
- The bibliography in Community->Publications is generated automatically from ‘`.bib`’ files; formatting is done automatically by ‘`texi-web.bst`’.
- …
- For anything not listed here, just follow the same style as the existing website texinfo files.
