The Qt Writing Guidelines contains information about writing Qt documentation in a consistent way. Though there are exceptions, maintain the consistency level outlined in the guidelines or the existing Qt documentation.

Language and Article Styles - writing articles and pages

QDoc Guidelines - writing the QDoc files

These QDoc guidelines complement the QDoc Manual

Qt 5 Documentation Requirements

When writing Qt documentation, ensure that new Qt 5 modules conform to the requirements:

QDoc changes should pass the QDocRegressionTesting

Licensing Qt Reference Documentation

We distribute documentation, examples, or snippets under the following licenses:

  • GNU Free Documentation License: for pure documentation (typically in .qdoc files)
  • BSD 3-Clause License: for snippet documentation and examples
  • LGPL: for demo applications and when LGPL is warranted

The header for the licenses are located in qtbase and should be pasted on the top of the files.
