A template named `doc` comes with the plugin which uses the fields `title`, `excerpt` and `text` to display the pages. The template can also be overwritten in your kirby installation or you could use your own templates for the documentation pages.

You could also use virtual pages to create pages and subpages. For example this [model](examples/models/textformats.php) generates subpages for a page template `textformats`.
