 Documentation
 =============
-To check out the documentation for pyxform do the following::
+For developers, ``pyxform`` uses docstrings, type annotations, and test cases. Most modern IDEs can display docstrings and type annotations in a easily navigable format, so no additional docs are compiled (e.g. sphinx). In addition to the user documentation, developers should be familiar with the `ODK XForms Specification https://getodk.github.io/xforms-spec/`.

-    cd your-virtual-env-dir/src/pyxform/docs

+For users, ``pyxform`` has documentation at the following locations:
