# Diátaxis Documentation Converter
Split mixed documentation into separate, focused documents — one per [Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) quadrant.
## Diátaxis Compass
```
Practical Theoretical
+----------------+------------------+
Study | TUTORIALS | EXPLANATION |
| (learning) | (understanding) |
+----------------+------------------+
Work | HOW-TO | REFERENCE |
| (problem) | (information) |
+----------------+------------------+
```
## When to Use
- Documentation exists but mixes multiple quadrants in a single document
- A `diataxis-audit` flagged mixed content that needs splitting
- A long README or guide tries to be everything at once
- Users report difficulty finding information in existing docs
## Required Inputs
1. **Source document(s)**: The mixed documentation to convert
2. **Audit report** (optional): Output from `diataxis-audit` identifying mixed sections
3. **Output directory** (optional): Where to write the separated documents
## Common Patterns
The most frequent mixing patterns and how to resolve them:
| Pattern | Symptom | Resolution |
|---------|---------|------------|
| Tutorial + Explanation | Steps interrupted by long "why" sections | Extract explanations, link from tutorial |
| How-to + Tutorial | Guide that teaches from scratch | Extract learning path into tutorial, keep problem-solving in how-to |
| Reference + How-to | API docs with embedded in
