# Welcome

> Blueprintr publishes documentation with a diagram at the centre of it, and keeps the two attached.

Blueprintr publishes documentation built around a diagram rather than beside
one. You draw the system, attach the detail to the parts of the drawing it
describes, and publish the result as one thing.

## What the pieces are

A **blueprint** is the published unit: one or more diagram tabs, the prose
around them, and the files they reference. A **stratum** is detail bound to a
single shape, opened by clicking that shape. **Vellum** is the diagram editor.
A **folium** is a multi-page documentation site. This guide is one.
