## Chapter 21. Writing Documentation

Documentation which comes with the Lire tarball is maintained in four formats: plain text, Perl POD, DocBook XML and UML diagrams. We'll talk about all four of these here.

## Plain Text

Small files like `README`, `NEWS`, `AUTHORS`, `doc/BUGS`, and `doc/TODO` are traditionally maintained in plain text format. We adhere to this common practice.
