Introduction
Intro
Spec-Up-T is a tool that helps you write specifications. Specifications in Spec-Up-T have two main parts:
- content
- term definitions
Content is stored in markdown files under the spec
directory, Terms definition optionally in various languages and optionally in various user levels are stored in the terms-definitions
folder also in the spec directory.
