+# How to write documentation for the Node.js project
+
+This document refers to the Node.js API documentation that gets deployed to [nodejs.org/en/doc][]
+and consists in a general reference on how to write and update such documentation.
+
+## Style Guide
+
+For a style guide on how to write or update the Node.js documentation refer to the [doc/README][] document.
+
+## Building
+
+There are a few different commands that you can use to build and view the documentation locally,
+the simplest one being:
+
+```bash
+make docserve
+```
+
+This command builds the documentation, spins up a local server and provides you with a URL to
+it that you can navigate to in order to view the built documentation.
+
+For more build options refer to the [documentation building][building-the-documentation] documentation.
+
+And for more details about the tooling used to build the documentation refer to
+the [API Documentation Tooling][] document.
+
+## Linting and Formatting
+
+To make sure that your changes pass linting run the following command:
+
+```bash
+make lint-md
+```
