+Training supports
+=============================
+
+Contributing
+============
+
+The main source for the supports is the `slides.md` but it doesn't contains
+all the source.
+
+The `slides.md` file contains several snippets that are replaced by other
+files at compilation time.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code:: markdown
+
+  ~~~raw-file
+  output/fix-a-bug-base.log
+  ~~~
+
+Will replace this three lines by the content of the file `output/fix-a-bug-
+base.log` which is generated when running the .t test file (see below for
+instruction how to do that).
+
+.. code:: markdown
+
+  ~~~graphviz-file
+  graphs/fix-bug-1.dot
+  ~~~
+
+Will replace this three lines by the svg rendering of the graphviz definition
+in the file `graphs/fix-bug-1.dot`. This file is generated when running the .t
+test file (see below for instruction how to do that).
+
+
+Environment preparation
+=======================
+
+This training supports needs pandoc to compile.
+
+You'll need a copy of the Mercurial source in order to generate the training
+supports.
+
+You will also needs a functioning Python environment with the possibility to
+use `pip install` with your current user. In doubt, you can use a `virtualenv
+<https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/>`.
+
+You can then run the `prepare.sh` script that will configure the environment
+for you.
+
+Generating the supports
+=======================
+
+First, you need to run a .t test file to generate a bunch of files. You can
+run the test file with this command:
+
+`python /PATH/TO/MERCURIAL/tests/run-tests.py -l test-training.t`
+
+It should have generated files in at least two directories: `graphs` and
+`output`.
+
+Finally, launch the `compile.sh` to generate the `index.html` output file.
