+# Documentation System
+This mod provides a simple and highly extensible formspec in which the user
+can access help pages about various things and the modder can add those pages.
+The mod itself does not provide any help texts, just the framework.
+
+Current version: 0.2.0
+
+## For users
+To open the help, say “/help” in chat. Everything else should be more or less
+self-explanationary.
+
+This mod is useless on its own, you will only need this mod as a dependency
+for mods which actually add some help entries.
+
+## For modders and subgame authors
+This mod helps you in writing extensive documentation for your mod or subgame.
+You can write about basically anything in the presentation you prefer.
+
+To get started, read `API.md` in the directory of this mod.
