# Documentation

The *PLINDER* documentation resides in the `docs` directory.
The documents are written in *Markdown* files rendered with [*Sphinx*](https://www.sphinx-doc.org) and [*MyST*](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io).
The [Python API Tutorial](/tutorial/api) uses a [*Jupyter*](https://jupyter.org/)
notebook rendered with [*MyST-NB*](https://myst-nb.readthedocs.io)
