This is the LibreCAD User Manual documentation source repository. The manual can be read online at https://librecad.readthedocs.io/ (or downloaded in PDF or ePub formats). The repository will contain multiple versions of the manual corresponding with each release of LibreCAD.
The documentation is created using a markup language called "reStructuredText" (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html). For those interested in contributing to the documentation, refer to the documentation wiki (https://github.com/LibreCAD/docs/wiki) and LibreCAD-doc on the LibreCAD forum (http://forum.librecad.org/).
