+# Documentation
+
+You'll find a mix of various documentation in this directory and
+subdirectories, using several different formats. Some of them are not ideally
+for reading directly in your browser.
+
+If you rather see the rendered version of the documentation, check out the
+curl web site's [documentation section](https://curl.haxx.se/docs/) for
+general curl stuff or the [libcurl section](https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/) for
+libcurl related documentation.
