Topic types for package documentation

Each reStructuredText (rst) file, corresponding to an HTML page, that you add to the doc/ directory of a package should correspond to a topic type. Topic types are templates and associated guidelines that describe how to structure different types of content. By conforming to topic types, documentation contributed by a diverse group of collaborators is more structured and uniform. Structured documentation is easier for readers to navigate and consume.

These are the available topic types for package documentation:

• Package homepage topic type
• Module homepage topic type
• Task topic type
• Config topic type
• Generic guide topic type

Additional topic types are being developed.
