    &lt;blockquote cite="https://www.divio.com/blog/documentation/"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Documentation needs to include and be structured around its four different functions: tutorials, how-to guides, explanation and technical reference. Each of them requires a distinct mode of writing. People working with software need these four different kinds of documentation at different times, in different circumstances - so software usually needs them all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
