+
+Each document follows this standard structure from LADL best practices:
+
+```adoc
+= Document Title
+:page-nav_order: N
+
+== Purpose
+
+Brief description of what this document covers and who should read it.
+
+== References
+
+* link:../index.adoc[Documentation Home]
+* link:../related-topic.adoc[Related Topic]
+* External links
+
+== Concepts
+
+**Key Concept 1**:: Definition and explanation
+**Key Concept 2**:: Definition and explanation
+
+== {Topic Sections}
+
+Main content organized into logical sections with:
+- Clear headings
+- Code examples with syntax definitions
+- "Where" legends explaining parameters
+- Practical examples with explanations
+
+== Next Steps
+
+* Link to follow-up topics
+* Related documentation

+## Building the Documentation Site
+
+### Local Testing
+
+```sh
+# Install dependencies
+gem install jekyll jekyll-asciidoc just-the-docs
+
+# Build site
+cd docs
+jekyll serve
+
+# View at http://localhost:4000/postsvg
+```
+
+### Deployment
+
+The documentation can be deployed to:
+- GitHub Pages (recommended)
+- GitLab Pages
+- Netlify
+- Custom hosting
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+Documentation is complete when:
+
+✅ All parent topics created
+✅ All essential child topics created
+✅ All code examples tested
+✅ All links verified
+✅ Jekyll site builds successfully
+✅ Navigation works correctly
+✅ Search finds relevant content
+✅ Mobile-responsive layout
+✅ Accessibility standards met
+
+## Current Status
+
+**Completion: ~40%**
+
+- ✅ Infrastructure (100%)
+- ✅ Parent topics (100%)
+- ✅ Existing PostScript docs (100%)
+- ⏳ Child topics (0%)
+- ⏳ Examples and diagrams (0%)
+- ⏳ Testing and validation (0%)
+
+**Next Immediate Steps:**
+
+1. Create Priority 1 child topics (Getting Started, API, CLI)
+2. Test Jekyll site generation
+3. Verify all links and references
+4. Add code examples to child topics
+5. Create architecture diagrams
+6. Complete remaining child topics
+7. Final review and quality check
