This package can display pages of a user guide using templates.

It provides classes to render HTML pages from templates using the Smarty package.

The package also generates HTML for menus that allow users to navigate through different pages of the guide using links that point to the same PHP script that causes all the pages of the user guide but uses different templates to define the content of each page of the guide.

Number 5		 Documentation is important for projects of any kind to help users learn how to use those projects when they do not know how to use them or have doubts.

A good practice to provide project documentation is to have a user guide that presents all the aspects that may be useful for the project users.

This package provides a solution to help users of any project to generate documentation from templates.

It also allows the definition of navigation menus that configure the package to provide the structure to render the different parts of the project user guide.
