 * :ref:`projects`

   How-to guide and templates for new projects that *use* the LLVM
   infrastructure.  The templates (directory organization, Makefiles, and test
   tree) allow the project code to be located outside (or inside) the ``llvm/``
   tree, while using LLVM header files and libraries.

 * :ref:`coding_standards`

   Describes a few coding standards that are used in the LLVM source tree. All
   code submissions must follow the coding standards before being allowed into
   the source tree.

 * `LLVMBuild Documentation <LLVMBuild.html>`_

   Describes the LLVMBuild organization and files used by LLVM to specify
   component descriptions.

 * :ref:`makefile_guide`

   Describes how the LLVM makefiles work and how to use them.

 * `How To Release LLVM To The Public <HowToReleaseLLVM.html>`_

   This is a guide to preparing LLVM releases. Most developers can ignore it.
