Guide for writing guides

Open fricklerhandwerk opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

We have a guide for writing tutorials: https://nix.dev/contributing/documentation/writing-a-tutorial

But guides address a different need: looking up contextualised facts to execute common tasks or implement common workflows. That requires a particular structure and writing style, which is usually much more condensed and can leave out many details.
