+# How to navigate the docs
+
+GeometryOps' [docs](https://juliageo.org/GeometryOps.jl/stable) are divided into three main sections: tutorials, explanations and source code.  
+Documentation and examples for many functions can be found in the source code section, since we use literate programming in GeometryOps.
+
+- Tutorials are meant to teach the fundamental concepts behind GeometryOps, and how to perform certain operations.
+- Explanations usually contain little code, and explain in more detail how GeometryOps works.
+- Source code usually contains explanations and examples at the top of the page, followed by annotated source code from that file.
