+5. Documenting the user docs
+----------------------------
+- Users guides are stored in asciidoc format in the odp/docs directory and in
+  sub directories of it as appropriate.
+- ODP code references such as types and enums are highlighted using the
+  + syntax. For example text referring to the type odp_pktio_t would decorate 
the
+  type thus:-
+        +odp_pktio_t+
+- Section heading use the = syntax. For example:-
+        == Level 1
+        Text.
+
+        === Level 2
+        Text.
+- Code and scripting excerpts are decorated with the block syntax:-
+        .Optional Title
+        [source,perl]
+        ----
+        <code here>
+        ----
+- Images are decorated with :-
+        .Optional Title
+        image::../images/<image name>.png[align="center"]
+- The images are stored in the doc/images directory as svg files and rendered 
as
+  png and eps during the build process.
+- Body text shall wrap at the 80 char point.
+- No warnings may be generated by the asciidoc tool.
