Create a new documentation
--------------------------

To create a new documentation first create a new folder. Then open the shell, navigate to the new folder and type:

.. code-block:: text

   $ sphinx-quickstart

This will ask you for a project title and the author name. You can also set the language for the documentation. After configuring these settings the files needed for the documentation are generated.
