 == Troubleshooting
 
-* If you are using LiveReload, make sure to select _Allow access to file URLs_ in the LiveEdit plugin options of
-  your browser.
-* The icon used to enable _LiveReload_ can be a bit confusing. The dot is empty when it is disabled and full when
-  the plugin is active. Make sure to enable it on the tab displaying the `index.html` file.
-* Ensure you are _not_ running guard start at all as two instances could not run at the same time. To exit a current
-  session in a clean way, just type e in the shell.

 == Documentation notes
 
 Some notes on documentation
 
-* It is important to keep whitespaces to a minimum to make it simple to edit files. This means use an editor with line wrapping rather than manually inserting hard returns.
+* Documentation is wrapped at 90 chars, ensure that you manually wrap your edits
+* Tabs are used for indentation, do not use spaces
+* Follow the existing style when inserting `source` blocks
