+### Documentation Contributions
+
+Documentation contributions or suggestions are welcome.
+
+1. Download [`retype`](https://retype.com/guides/cli/)
+2. `retype start` in the pagy root directory.
+
+And your docs should appear in a browser.
+
+#### Primer on how Pagy's Documentation works
+
+Pagy's documentation is built on [retype](https://retype.com/).
+
+All of [retype's configuration](https://retype.com/configuration/project/) is located in the [`retype.yml` file](https://github.com/ddnexus/pagy/blob/master/retype.yml). 
+
+Pagy uses a [github action](https://github.com/ddnexus/pagy/blob/master/.github/workflows/retype-action.yml) to trigger the build process i.e. the docs need to be "built". Why? Because the docs are written in [markdown format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) - however, markdown is not sufficient to deliver html to your browser. Retype does the hard work of converting that markdown into html with styling.
+
+Once built, then [Github pages](https://pages.github.com/) delivers it to you. But we must tell Github to deliver the html that has been created. Where is the html located? The html - i.e. the "built" site - is located in the root directory of the [`docs-site` branch](https://github.com/ddnexus/pagy/tree/docs-site) of the Pagy repository. The admin of the repository can set the branch that is used in the settings section of the repository.
+
+More details on the docs are available on the [retype website](https://retype.com/guides/github-actions/). 
+
+The Pagy repository is using the Open Source version, subject to certain limitations (i.e. total page count). [Pro version](https://retype.com/pro/) opens up other benefits. Credit to: [Retypeapp](https://github.com/retypeapp) and
