+Introduction
+============
+
+Formal ONAP documentation uses the reStructuredText markup language and the
+files have an ``.rst`` extension. They are part of almost every ONAP project
+and can be found in the ``docs`` directory. The files are automatically
+processed and you find the final ONAP documentation build hosted on
+`ReadTheDocs <https://docs.onap.org>`__.
+
+This guide provides a detailed description to set up a system suitable to
+create, check and preview documentation locally. The targeted readership is
+beginners and people interested in creating documentation.
+
+The guide describes the setup of a development system from scratch using the
+Ubuntu Desktop version installed in a virtual machine. It includes all required
+steps and also some optional ones that may ease your daily work with this
+development system. Feel free to adapt it to your needs.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+VM Configuration
+================
+
+.. note:: This section is for information only and should not be understood as
+          a requirement.
+
+Ubuntu Image
+------------
+
++----------------------------------------+
+| ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso     |
++----------------------------------------+
+
+Please check what image must be used for your type of hardware.
+
+VM Configuration
+----------------
+
++-------------------------+------------+
+| Memory                  | 8 GB       |
++-------------------------+------------+
+| Processors / Cores each | 2 / 2      |
++-------------------------+------------+
+| Hard Disk               | 64 GB      |
++-------------------------+------------+
+
+Depending on your requirements you can modify the values for virtual memory,
+processors, cores or hard disk space.
+
+VM Setup
+--------
+
+Follow the instructions of your virtualization solution to install Ubuntu in a
+virtual machine. Log in after the installation has finished.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Ubuntu Configuration
+====================
+
+.. note:: This section is optional and should not be understood as a
+   requirement.
+
+Finding Applications
+--------------------
+
+The following actions are performed on the Ubuntu desktop. You may use the
+desktop search function :guilabel:`Show Applications` (the |ShowApp| symbol in
+the bottom left corner) to find the required applications. Later on you need to
+start also a :guilabel:`Terminal` window from here.
+
+Software Updates
+----------------
+
+Open :guilabel:`Software Updater` and update already installed Ubuntu packages.
+You may need to restart the system afterwards.
+
+Language Support
+----------------
+
+Open :guilabel:`Language Support`. You are asked to complete the installation.
+Select the :guilabel:`Install` button to complete. Continue in the
+:guilabel:`Language Support` window and open
+:guilabel:`Install / Remove Languages`. Then select your preferred
+:guilabel:`<LANGUAGE>`. Choose :guilabel:`Apply` to install the additional
+language.
+
+Regional Formats
+----------------
+
+Continue to the :guilabel:`Regional Formats` tab. Select a
+:guilabel:`<FORMAT>` to show e.g. date, time and numbers in your preferred
+format. Press :guilabel:`Close` to close the window.
+
+Input Sources
+-------------
+
+To change the keyboard layout used e.g. in command line windows, open
+:guilabel:`Settings`. Navigate to :guilabel:`Region & Language`. At
+:guilabel:`Input Sources` press the :guilabel:`+` sign. Select your preferred
+:guilabel:`<INPUTSOURCE>` and use :guilabel:`Add` to add it. Move it to the top
+of the list using drag and drop. Close the window. You may need to logout from
+the UI and login again to make your changes effective.
+
+Screen Lock
+-----------
+
+Open :guilabel:`Settings`. Navigate to :guilabel:`Privacy` >
+:guilabel:`Screen Lock` and change settings for :guilabel:`Blank Screen Delay`
+and :guilabel:`Automatic Screen Lock` to values of your choice. Close the
+window.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Disable sudo password for your user
+===================================
+
+.. warning:: This section is optional and should not be understood as a
+   requirement. Disabling password authentication for all commands is very
+   convenient at use **but it strongly exposes your system to malicious code**.
+   For a system dedicated to development it might be OK, but not for a
+   production system! Handle with care. You have been warned.
+
+Open a :guilabel:`Terminal` window and start the ``visudo`` editor with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo visudo
+
+and add ``<USER> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL`` to the end of the file. Replace
+``<USER>`` with your user name.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Install python3 related packages
+================================
+
+.. note:: The main python3 package is preinstalled in Ubuntu 20.04.
+
+Open a :guilabel:`Terminal` window and update the package management system
+with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd ~
+   sudo apt update
+   sudo apt -y upgrade
+
+Install python3 related packages with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo apt install -y python3-pip
+   sudo apt install -y build-essential
+   sudo apt install -y libssl-dev
+   sudo apt install -y libffi-dev
+   sudo apt install -y python3-dev
+   sudo apt install -y python3-venv
+
+
+Check the python3 version with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   python3 -V
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Install git and documentation related packages
+==============================================
+
+Install the required packages with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo apt install -y git
+   sudo apt install -y git-review
+   sudo apt install -y python3-sphinx
+   sudo apt install -y python3-doc8
+   sudo apt install -y curl
+   sudo apt install -y jq
+
+Check the git version with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   git --version
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Create virtual environment and activate
+=======================================
+
+In this guide, virtual environments are generally located in your home
+directory under ``~/environments``. For the development of ONAP documentation
+the virtual environment ``onapdocs`` is created. The full path is consequently
+``~/environments/onapdocs``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd ~
+   mkdir environments
+   cd ~/environments
+   python3 -m venv onapdocs
+   cd ~/environments/onapdocs
+   source bin/activate
+
+To indicate that you are now working in an virtual environment, the prompt of
+your terminal has changed. Now it starts with ``(onapdocs)``.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Install required Sphinx packages in activated environment
+=========================================================
+
+It is :strong:`important` to activate the ``onapdocs`` environment before you
+continue. If not already done, activate environment with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd ~/environments/onapdocs
+   source bin/activate
+
+To indicate that you are now working in an virtual environment, the prompt of
+your terminal has changed. Now it starts with ``(onapdocs)``.
+
+.. important:: Now you are installing packages only for the 'onapdocs' virtual
+   environment.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   pip3 install wheel
+   pip3 install sphinx_rtd_theme
+   pip3 install sphinxcontrib-blockdiag
+   pip3 install sphinxcontrib-needs
+   pip3 install sphinxcontrib-nwdiag
+   pip3 install sphinxcontrib-seqdiag
+   pip3 install sphinxcontrib-swaggerdoc
+   pip3 install sphinxcontrib-plantuml
+   pip3 install lfdocs-conf
+
+   which sphinx-build
+
+.. tip:: Remember the path
+   ``/home/<USER>/environments/onapdocs/bin/sphinx-build``, you need it later
+   to configure a VSC extension.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Install Visual Studio Code (VSC) and update already installed applications
+==========================================================================
+
+The following actions are performed on the Ubuntu desktop. You may use the
+desktop search function :guilabel:`Show Applications` (the |ShowApp| symbol in
+the bottom left corner) to find the required applications.
+
+Open :guilabel:`Ubuntu Software` > :guilabel:`Development`, select
+:guilabel:`Visual Studio Code` and press :guilabel:`Install` to install the
+integrated development environment (IDE).
+
+Open :guilabel:`Ubuntu Software` > :guilabel:`Updates` to ensure that your
+installed applications are up to date.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Clone example repo and start VSC (no LF account)
+================================================
+
+Clone repo
+----------
+
+For a quick start you can clone e.g. the ``doc`` repository even without a
+Linux Foundation (LF) account with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd ~/environments/onapdocs
+   git clone --branch master https://git.onap.org/doc/ ./doc
+
+Start VSC
+---------
+
+Start VSC in the ``doc`` repo directory with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd doc
+   code .
+
+.. tip:: ``~/environments/onapdocs/doc`` is now your ``${workspaceFolder}``
+   because you have started VSC (``code``) from here!
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Clone example repo and start VSC (LF account used)
+==================================================
+
+Prerequisite configuration
+--------------------------
+
+If you plan to contribute to the ONAP community and you want to submit changes
+to a specific project later on, please refer to the
+`ONAP Developer Wiki <https://wiki.onap.org>`__ to get information about all
+the prerequisite details.
+
+If you already have a LF account and you have shared your public ssh key you
+can finalize the configuration of this development system by updating your ssh
+configuration in the ``~/.ssh`` directory by copying over ``config``,
+``id_rsa`` and ``id_rsa.pub``
+
+In addition you configure ``git`` and ``git-review`` with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   git config --global user.email "<GIT-EMAIL>"
+   git config --global user.name "<GIT-USER>"
+   git config --global --add gitreview.username "<GIT-USER>"
+   git config --global gitreview.remote origin
+
+Replace ``<GIT-EMAIL>`` and ``<GIT-USER>`` with your account details.
+
+Clone repo
+----------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd ~/environments/onapdocs
+   git clone --recurse-submodules ssh://<GIT-USER>@gerrit.onap.org:29418/doc
+
+Start VSC
+---------
+
+Start VSC in the ``doc`` repo directory with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd doc
+   code .
+
+.. tip:: ``~/environments/onapdocs/doc`` is now your ``${workspaceFolder}``
+   because you have started VSC (``code``) from here!
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Disable Telemetry of VSC
+========================
+
+In case you want to disable telemetry functionality of Visual Studio Code, open
+:guilabel:`File` > :guilabel:`Preferences` > :guilabel:`Settings` and
+search for ``telemetry``. Then uncheck
+:guilabel:`Telemetry: Enable Crash Reporter` and
+:guilabel:`Telemetry: Enable Telemetry`
+
+.. warning:: Extensions may be collecting their own usage data and are not
+   controlled by the ``telemetry.enableTelemetry`` setting. Consult the
+   specific extension's documentation to learn about its telemetry
+   reporting and whether it can be disabled. See also
+   https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Install VSC extensions and configure reStructuredText extension
+===============================================================
+
+Install VSC extensions
+----------------------
+
+Extension bring additional power to Visual Studio Code. To search and install
+them, open :guilabel:`File` > :guilabel:`Preferences` > :guilabel:`Extensions`
+or use the keyboard shortcut ``[Ctrl+Shift+X]``. Then enter the name of the
+extension in the :guilabel:`Search Extensions in Marketplace` window.
+Press :guilabel:`Install` if you have found the required extension.
+
+Please install ...

+Configure reStructuredText extension
+------------------------------------
+
+To configure ``reStructuredText`` extension, open :guilabel:`File` >
+:guilabel:`Preferences` > :guilabel:`Extensions` or use the keyboard shortcut
+``[Ctrl+Shift+X]``. Then enter ``reStructuredText`` in the
+:guilabel:`Search Extensions in Marketplace` window. After you have found the
+extension press :guilabel:`Manage` (the little |GearSymb| symbol on the right
+bottom) and select :guilabel:`Extension Settings`. A new windows in VSC shows
+all the parameters. Change the following ones:
+
+ :strong:`Restructuredtext › Linter: Executable Path`
+  ``/usr/bin/doc8``
+
+ :strong:`Restructuredtext › Linter: Name`
+  ``doc8``
+
+ :strong:`Restructuredtext: Sphinx Build Path`
+  ``/home/<USER>/environments/onapdocs/bin/sphinx-build``
+
+Replace ``<USER>`` with your user name.
+
+Only in case the preview creates an error message, try ...
+
+  :strong:`Restructuredtext: Conf Path`
+   ``${workspaceFolder}/docs``
+
+Close the :guilabel:`Extension Settings` window.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Open a .rst file and preview it in VSC
+======================================
+
+Open .rst file
+--------------
+
+Select :guilabel:`View` > :guilabel:`Explorer`. Alternatively you can use the
+|FileExpl| symbol in the upper left corner. Expand the ``docs`` folder by
+clicking on the ``>`` symbol. Select the file ``index.rst``. The code shows up
+in the right pane window of VSC.
+
+Problem Window
+--------------
+
+You may see problems with the reStructuredText markup because the code is
+underlined in various colors. For the details select :guilabel:`View` >
+:guilabel:`Problems` to open an additional window at the bottom of VSC.
+
+When you select a specific entry in the problem list, the code window is
+updated to show the related line in the code.
+
+Preview
+-------
+
+Now select :guilabel:`Preview To The Side` (the |Preview| symbol on the top
+right) or use keyboard shortcut ``[Ctrl+k Ctrl+r]`` to open the preview window
+on the right hand side. This may take a few seconds. The preview shows up and
+renders the ``index.rst`` as it would look like on ReadTheDocs.
+
+Tips and Tricks
+---------------
+
+The learnings are ...
+
+.. tip::
+   - Start VSC always in the ``docs`` directory of the repository. Use the
+     command ``code .``. Then navigate via VSC's :guilabel:`Explorer`
+     |FileExpl| to the directory which contains the file you like to edit. VSC
+     may ask you, which ``conf.py`` VSC should use. Choose the one which
+     resides in the directory where you have started VSC. Check also the (blue)
+     bottom line of VSC. There you see which ``conf.py`` is currently in use.
+     The content of ``conf.py`` affects how the documentation is presented.
+   - VSC may claim that some packages require an update. This can be easily
+     fixed. VSC offers automatically to install or update the package.
+   - VSC may ask you to install ``snooty``. Please install.
+   - Select the correct environment in the (blue) bottom line
+     ``'onapdocs':venv``. Have also a view on the other interesting
+     information (e.g. the ``conf.py`` which is currently in use).
+   - First, close and reopen preview if preview is not shown properly.
+   - Second, close and reopen VSC if preview is not shown properly.
+   - Save your file if an error does not disappear after you have corrected it.
+   - You can not navigate within the document structure by clicking the links
+     in the preview. You always have to choose the correct file in the VSC
+     :guilabel:`Explorer` window.
+
+That's it!
+----------
+
+Congratulations, well done! You have configured a system well suited to
+develop ONAP documentation and to master the challenges of reStructuredText.
+Now have a look at all the different elements of reStructuredText and learn how
+to use them properly. Or maybe you like to do some optional configurations at
+your system first.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Optional VSC Configuration
+==========================
+
+Ruler
+-----
+
+To add a ruler that indicates the line end at 79 characters, open
+:guilabel:`File` > :guilabel:`Preferences` > :guilabel:`Settings` and enter
+``ruler`` in the :guilabel:`Search settings` field. In
+:guilabel:`Editor: Rulers` click on :guilabel:`Edit in settings.json` and add
+the value ``79``. The result should look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    "editor.rulers": [
+        79
+    ]
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Miscellaneous
+=============
+
+.. note:: This section is optional and should not be understood as a
+   requirement.
+
+Firefox Add-ons
+---------------
+
+Open :guilabel:`Add-Ons and Themes`, then search and install the following
+add-ons:
+
++----------------------------+-------------------------------+
+| I don't care about cookies | Get rid of cookie warnings.   |
++----------------------------+-------------------------------+
+| UBlock Origin              | A wide-spectrum blocker.      |
++----------------------------+-------------------------------+
+| LastPass Password Manager  | Used in the Linux Foundation. |
++----------------------------+-------------------------------+
+
+ReText Editor
+-------------
+
+Install this simple editor with ...
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo apt install -y retext

+Backlog
+=======
+
+There are still some open topics or issues in this guide. They are subject
+for one of the upcoming releases.

+ - link to full ``git`` install/config?
+ - how to limit line width to improve readability? setting in conf.py?
+ - keyboard shortcut ``[Ctrl+Shift+X]`` or :kbd:`Ctrl` + :kbd:`Shift` +
+   :kbd:`X` Is this a problem in the RTD theme?
+ - use ``menuselection``
+   :menuselection:`My --> Software --> Some menu --> Some sub menu 1`?
+ - evaluate and add VSC extension to "draw" tables in an aided way
+ - add infos for config files, e.g. ``conf.py``, ``conf.yaml``
+ - find the reason for VSC error message
+   ``Substitution definition "ShowApp" empty or invalid.``
+ - find the reason for VSC error message
+   ``Unexpected indentation``
+ - find a solution to wrap lines in VSC automatically (79 chars limit)
+ - evaluate ``snooty`` and describe functionality (build in? not a extension?)
+ - add a table explaining the role of installed packages/extensions in every
+   section
