+Setup
+=====
+
+Template Loaders
+----------------
+
+Django REST framework uses a few templates for the HTML and plain text documenting emitters.
+
+* Ensure ``TEMPLATE_LOADERS`` setting contains ``'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader'``.
+
+This will be the case by default so you shouldn't normally need to do anything here.
+
+Admin Styling
+-------------
+
+Django REST framework uses the admin media for styling.  When running using Django's testserver this is automatically served for you, but once you move onto a production server, you'll want to make sure you serve the admin media seperatly, exactly as you would do if using the Django admin.
+
+* Ensure that the ``ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX`` is set appropriately and that you are serving the admin media.  (Django's testserver will automatically serve the admin media for you)
+
+Markdown
+--------
+
+The Python `markdown library <http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/>`_ is not required but comes recommended.
+
+If markdown is installed your :class:`.Resource` descriptions can include `markdown style formatting <http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax>`_ which will be rendered by the HTML documenting emitter.
