A guide brings you from A to B describing the characteristics of that process, but not necessarily going over each step. It can mention, for example, steps 2 and 3, but does not necessarily explain how to accomplish them.

### Markdown
Currently GitLab docs use Redcarpet as [markdown](../user/markdown.html) engine, but there's an [open discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs/issues/50) for implementing Kramdown in the near future.

# Topics
We have organized our content resources into topics
Welcome to Topics! We have organized our content resources into topics
to get you started on areas of your interest. Each topic page
consists of an index listing all related content. It will guide
you through better understanding GitLab's concepts
through our regular docs, and, when available, through articles (guides,
tutorials, technical overviews, blog posts) and videos.
