# edX | docs

Documentation for the open source edX platform
Designed for Developers and Course Authors

#### How we build docs

Our documentation is built with Sphinx and hosted on ReadTheDocs. We chose these tools because of their open source nature and dedication to the Python community. If you can write in reStructuredText format (it's like Markdown), we would love contributions to our documentation.
