**_Project Template Documentation_** |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use this template to create preliminary, high-level documentation meant to introduce users to the feature and the sample files included in this project template. When writing your documentation, do the following: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Follow instructions in blockquotes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Replace angle brackets with the appropriate text. For example, replace "<template name>" with the official name of the project template. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Delete sections that do not apply to your project template. For example, a template containing only sample files does not have a "Using <template name>" section, so this section can be removed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. After documentation is completed, make sure you delete all instructions and examples in blockquotes including this preamble and its title: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
>>> |
|
|
|
Delete all of the text between pairs of blockquote markdown. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
``` |

# About <template name> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> |
|
|
|
Name the heading of the first topic after the **displayName** of the project template as it appears in the template's manifest. Check with your Product Manager to ensure that the template is named correctly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This first topic includes a brief, high-level explanation of the project template and, if applicable, provides links to Unity Manual topics. |
|

**_Example:_** |

Here is an example for reference only. Do not include this in the final documentation file: |

# Using <template name> |
|
|
|
>>> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The contents of this section depends on the type of project template. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* At a minimum, this section should include reference documentation that describes the assets, structure, and properties that makes up the project template's content. This reference documentation should include screen grabs (see how to add screens below), a list of assets or settings, an explanation of what each asset or setting does, and the default values of each asset or setting. |
|
|
|
* Ideally, this section should also include a workflow: a list of steps that the user can easily follow that demonstrates how to use the project template. This list of steps should include screen grabs (see how to add screens below) to better describe how to use the feature. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For project templates that include sample files, this section may include detailed information on how the user can use these sample files. Workflow diagrams or illustrations could be included if deemed appropriate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to add images |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*(This section is for reference. Do not include in the final documentation file)* |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the [Using <template name>](#UsingProjectTemplate) section includes screen grabs or diagrams, a link to the image must be added to this MD file, before or after the paragraph with the instruction or description that references the image. In addition, a caption should be added to the image link that includes the name of the screen or diagram. All images must be PNG files with underscores for spaces. No animated GIFs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An example is included below: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
![A cinematic in the Timeline Editor window.](images/example.png) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notice that the example screen shot is included in the images folder. All screen grabs and/or diagrams must be added and referenced from the images folder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
