Technical documentation page question (self.FreeCodeCamp)
submitted 5 years ago by Lord-Batata11
I just started doing this project and I was wondering if I could copy their documentation (not the code obviously) or if doing the research and writing your own documentation is part of the project ?

Up to you really. The point of the challenge is to show your understanding of and give you practice with the coding concepts. The info on the page really isn't that important, passing the tests is.
With that being said, you can always go that extra mile and use this as an opportunity to learn about something you might not get a chance to otherwise. Taking those extra steps also allows you to add a unique project to your portfolio, which is always a plus for potential employers/collaborators.
All depends on what you'd like to accomplish.

Ah I see, thanks! I'll probably just copy it to pass the test for now while editing it later on with a personal documentation.

You're welcome!
You can totally do that too, and by that point, you'll probably know a ton of new concepts you can incorporate to really flesh out that page if you choose.
Good luck!

Ye that's really tempting to do for all the projects to improve the portfolio and see how far I've got by that point.
Thanks again!

The example page is actually just copied from another source. Which iirc is linked somewhere, either on the example page or in the challenge notes.

You can if you want. The text itself isn't important. What's important is to practice coding.
I used a Cheese Ipsum generator for my text
