          <p>Replace all of the [prompts in brackets] with content that's specific to your API. When you've replaced all the bracketed prompts, you'll have the essentials documented sufficiently to help people use your API. If you want to work from a checklist, see the <a href="/mvp-template/docs/mvp_checklist/">MVP checklist</a>.</p>
          <p>If something in this template doesn't make sense for your API, delete it! And likewise, add any sections you need based on your API's particulars. We hope our suggestions in this template will spark more ideas about documenting features of your API to help users consume it.</p>
          <p>The template is written in <a href="https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a>, except this page, which is written in HTML. Some options for publishing are listed on the <a href="/mvp-template/docs/publishing_options/">Publishing options</a> page.</p>
