+For markdown files, please convert the sphinx directive to markdown syntax yourself.
+The content of the DR is the same, only the syntax differs.
+
+Suggest to store close to the artefact which is affected by the DR. For example for
+platform wide decisions store close to the platform's stakeholder requirements.
+
+In each DR file, include the following sections:
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+ .. dec_rec::
+ :id: dec_rec____
+ :status:
+ :version: 1
+ :affects:
+
+
+ Descriptions shall contain at least the following sections:
+ Context:
+ Decision:
+ Consequences:
+
+ or use the the provided template below (if not marked as optional, it is mandatory content):
+
+
+
+ Context
+ -------
+
+
+ Consequences
+ ------------
+
+
