Documentation for an invented point-of-sale app.
An invented product for this template, so that a documentation layout can be shown with real structure: a sidebar, a reference, a changelog and pages that answer one question each.
Start here
Quick start
From an empty tablet to a first sale, in about twelve minutes.
Taking payment
Cash, card, split, and what happens when the terminal refuses.
Stock
Counting, alerts, and how two tills share one number.
Reports
The day's close, the month's export, and what your accountant asks for.
Reference
Every field on a receipt, with its type and its rules.
Error codes
What each one means and what to do, in order.

Same fictitious business, same content, arranged four other ways. How does it work, and where is the answer to my question?
Sidebar and article
Every page in a tree on the left, the answer on the right. The arrangement people expect from documentation, and the right default.
