+# Documentation Guide
+
+Here list several writing tips and guidelines you could refer to if you want to add/modify documents for BigDL documentation. The source code of our documentation is available [here](https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL/tree/main/docs/readthedocs).
+
+```eval_rst
+.. tip::
+
+   You could refer `here <https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL/blob/main/docs/readthedocs/README.md>`_ if you would like to test your local changes to BigDL documentation.
+```
+
+## 1. How to add a new document
+### 1.1 Decide whether to add a reStructuredText (`.rst`) file or a CommonMark (`.md`) file
+In our documentation, both reStructuredText (`.rst`) and CommonMark (`.md`) files are allowed to use. In convension, we use `.rst` file in index pages, and `.md` files for other pages.
+
+Here shows an overview of our documentation structure tree:
+
+```eval_rst
+.. graphviz::
+
+   digraph DocStructure {
+      graph [tooltip=" " splines=ortho]
+      node [color="#0171c3" shape=box fontname="Arial" fontsize=12 tooltip=" "]
+      edge [tooltip=" "]
+      
+      N1 [label="BigDL (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      
+      N1_1 [label="User guide (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_2 [label="Powered by (.md)" style=rounded]
+      N1_3 [label="Orca (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_4 [label="Nano (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_5 [label="DLlib (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_6 [label="Chronos (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_7 [label="Fresian (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_8 [label="PPML (.rst)" style=filled fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_9 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      
+      N1_1_1 [label="Python (.md)" style=rounded]
+      N1_1_2 [label="Scala (.md)" style=rounded]
+      N1_1_3 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      
+      N1_8_1 [label="PPML Intro. (.md)" style=rounded]
+      N1_8_2 [label="User Guide (.md)" style=rounded]
+      N1_8_3 [label="Tutorials (.rst)" style="filled" fontcolor="#ffffff"]
+      N1_8_4 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      
+      
+      N1_8_3_1 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      
+      N1_3_1 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      N1_4_1 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      N1_5_1 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      N1_6_1 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      N1_7_1 [label="..." shape=plaintext]
+      
+      N1 -> N1_1
+      N1 -> N1_2
+      N1 -> N1_3 -> N1_3_1
+      N1 -> N1_4 -> N1_4_1
+      N1 -> N1_5 -> N1_5_1
+      N1 -> N1_6 -> N1_6_1
+      N1 -> N1_7 -> N1_7_1
+      N1 -> N1_8
+      N1 -> N1_9
+      
+      N1_1 -> N1_1_1
+      N1_1 -> N1_1_2
+      N1_1 -> N1_1_3
+      
+      N1_8 -> N1_8_1
+      N1_8 -> N1_8_2
+      N1_8 -> N1_8_3 -> N1_8_3_1
+      N1_8 -> N1_8_4
+   }
+```
+
+Index pages (nodes filled with blue) are the ones supposed to lead to further pages. In the structure above, they are nodes with descendants.
+
+```eval_rst
+.. note::
+   
+   In convension, we use ``.rst`` file for index pages becuase various web components (such as cards, note boxes, tabs, etc.) are more straightforward to be inserted in our documentation through reStructuredText. And it is a common case in our documentation that index pages include various web components.
+```
+
+### 1.2 Add the new document to the table of contents (ToC)
+For clear navigation purposes, it is recommended to put the document in the ToC. To do this, you need to insert the relative path to the newly-added file into the [`_toc.yml`](https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL/blob/main/docs/readthedocs/source/_toc.yml) file, according to its position in the structure tree.
+
+```eval_rst
+.. tip::
+
+   When adding a new document, you should always check whether to put relative link directing to it inside its parent index page, or inside any other related pages.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   According to `sphinx-external-toc <https://sphinx-external-toc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/sphinx.html#basic-structure>`_ document, "each document file can only occur once in the ToC".
+```
+
+For API related documents, we still use in-file `.. toctree::` directives instead of putting them inside `_toc.yml`. You could refer [here](https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL/tree/main/docs/readthedocs/source/doc/PythonAPI) for example usages.
+
+## 2. Differentiate the syntax of reStructuredText and CommonMark
+As mentioned above, our documentation includes both `.rst` and `.md` files. They have different syntax, please make sure you do not mix the usage of them.
+
+```eval_rst
+.. seealso::
+
+   You could refer `here <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/index.html>`_ for reStructuredText syntax examples, and `here <https://spec.commonmark.org/>`_ for CommonMark specifications.
+```
+
+Here list several use cases where syntax in `.rst` and `.md` are often confused:
+
+<table class="table bigdl-documentation-guide-tables">
+<tr><th></th><th>reStructuredText</th><th>CommonMark</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Inline code</td>
+<td>
+
+```rst
+``inline code``
+```

+<tr><td>Hyperlinks</td>
+<td>
+
+```rst
+`Relative link text <relatve/path/to/the/file>`_

+</td>
+<td>
+
+```md

+```
+
+</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Italic</td>
+<td>
+
+```rst
+`italicized text`
+*italicized text*

+```
+
+</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Italic & bold</td>
+<td>
+
+Not supported, needed help with css
+
+</td>
+<td>
+
+```md
+***italicized & bold text***
+```
+
+</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+```eval_rst
+.. note::
+
+   When linking to a ``.rst`` file in a ``.md`` file, replace the ``.rst`` with ``.html`` in the relative path to avoid errors.
+   That is, if you want to link to the ``example.rst`` in a ``.md`` file, use 
+
+   .. code-block:: md
+
+      [Example](relatve/path/to/example.html)
+```
+
+### 2.1 Tips when adding docstrings in source code for API documentation
+According to the [`sphinx.ext.autodoc`](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/autodoc.html#module-sphinx.ext.autodoc) document, docstrings should be written in reStructuredText. We need to make sure that we are using reStructuredText syntax in the source code docstrings for API documentation.
+
+There are two [field lists](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html#field-lists) syntax often used in API documentation for parameter definition and return values. Let us take a snippet from [`bigdl.nano.pytorch.InferenceOptimizer.get_best_model`](../PythonAPI/Nano/pytorch.html#bigdl.nano.pytorch.InferenceOptimizer.get_best_model) as an example:
+```rst
+:param use_ipex: (optional) if not None, then will only find the
+       model with this specific ipex setting.
+:param accuracy_criterion: (optional) a float represents tolerable
+       accuracy drop percentage, defaults to None meaning no accuracy control.
+:return: best model, corresponding acceleration option
+```
+
+```eval_rst
+.. important::
+
+   The following lines of one parameter/return definition should be indented to be rendered correctly.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   Please always check whether corresponding API documentation is correctly rendered when changes made to the docstrings.
+```

+## 5. How to include Jupyter notebooks directly inside our documentation
+If you want to include a Jupyter notebook into our documentation as an example, a tutorial, a how-to guide, etc., you could just put it anywhere inside [`BigDL/docs/readthedocs/source`](https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL/tree/main/docs/readthedocs/source) dictionary, and link it into `_toc.yml` file.
+
+However, if you want to render a Jupyter notebook located out of `BigDL/docs/readthedocs/source` dictionary into our documentation, the case is a little bit complicated. To do this, you need to add a file with `.nblink` extension into `BigDL/docs/readthedocs/source` , and link the `.nblink` file into `_toc.yml`.
+
+The `.nblink` file should have the following structure:
+```json
+{
+    "path": "relative/path/to/the/notebook/you/want/to/include"
+}
+```
+
+```eval_rst
+.. seealso::
+
+   You could find `here <https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL/blob/main/docs/readthedocs/source/doc/Nano/Howto/Training/PyTorchLightning/accelerate_pytorch_lightning_training_ipex.nblink>`_ for an example of ``.nblink`` usage inside our documentation.

+### 5.1 How to hide a cell from rendering
+
+If you want to hide a notebook markdown/code cell from rendering into our documentation, you could simply add `"nbsphinx": "hidden"` into the cell's `metadata`.
+
+Here shows an examlpe of a markdown cell hidden from rendering:
+
+```json
+{
+"cell_type": "markdown",
+"metadata": {
+   "nbsphinx": "hidden"
+},
+"source": [
+   ...
+]
+}
+```
+
+```eval_rst
+.. tip::
+
+   You could simply open the notebook through text editor to edit the ``metadata`` of each cell.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Currently we could not hide the output/input code cell individually from rendering as they have the same ``metadata``. 
+```
+
+### 5.2 Note/Warning/Related Readings boxes
+In convension, in the markdown cell of notebooks, we create note/warning/related reading boxes with the help of quote blocks and emoji:
+
+```md
+> 📝 **Note**
+>
+> This is a note box in notebooks.
+
+> ⚠️ **Warning**
+> 
+> This is a warning box in notebooks.
+
+> 📚 **Related Readings**
+> 
+> This is a related readings box in notebooks.
+
+```
