Mollie public API documentation

This project contains the source of all of Mollie's public API documentation. The full documentation (in an easy to use format) may be found at https://docs.mollie.com.

The documentation is formatted using reStructuredText. Additionally, we use a Sphinx extension to help format tables.

We take pull requests from anyone on our documentation, if you think that something can be improved, feel free to open a PR.

All documentation should be written in US English.

If you are a Mollie employee: don't include any links to internal issue trackers or other internal applications in your PR or issue description, API examples or commit messages.

Note that PhpStorm comes with a reStructuredText plugin. You can enable it from the Plugins preferences pane. It enables some syntax highlighting.
