Documentation layout
A responsive documentation shell with section navigation, readable prose, and code examples.
When this template fits
Use this shell for a small documentation set whose readers need persistent section navigation and readable technical prose. It is suitable for a focused API or component guide; large documentation sites also need search, versioning, and deeper navigation.
How the layout works
A landmark navigation column points to anchored sections inside the article. The code sample remains horizontally scrollable, prose has a bounded measure, and the sidebar moves above the article when a two-column layout would become too narrow.
What to customize
Replace the sample API with a task-oriented quick start, tested code, prerequisites, failure cases, and a clear security model. Keep navigation labels aligned with headings and add copy controls only when they remain keyboard accessible.
Review before publishing
Validate every code example, check anchor focus after navigation, and ensure headings form a logical outline. Never publish credentials or internal endpoints, and distinguish behavior that is simulated from behavior supported by the real API.
