+# stringstest
+
+Welcome to your new module. A short overview of the generated parts can be found
+in the [PDK documentation][1].
+
+The README template below provides a starting point with details about what
+information to include in your README.
+
+## Table of Contents

+1. [Description](#description)
+1. [Setup - The basics of getting started with stringstest](#setup)

+
+## Description
+
+Briefly tell users why they might want to use your module. Explain what your
+module does and what kind of problems users can solve with it.
+
+This should be a fairly short description helps the user decide if your module
+is what they want.
+
+## Setup
+
+### What stringstest affects **OPTIONAL**
+
+If it's obvious what your module touches, you can skip this section. For
+example, folks can probably figure out that your mysql_instance module affects
+their MySQL instances.
+
+If there's more that they should know about, though, this is the place to
+mention:
+
+* Files, packages, services, or operations that the module will alter, impact,
+  or execute.
+* Dependencies that your module automatically installs.
+* Warnings or other important notices.
+
+### Setup Requirements **OPTIONAL**
+
+If your module requires anything extra before setting up (pluginsync enabled,
+another module, etc.), mention it here.
+
+If your most recent release breaks compatibility or requires particular steps
+for upgrading, you might want to include an additional "Upgrading" section here.
+
+### Beginning with stringstest
+
+The very basic steps needed for a user to get the module up and running. This
+can include setup steps, if necessary, or it can be an example of the most basic
+use of the module.
+
+## Usage
+
+Include usage examples for common use cases in the **Usage** section. Show your
+users how to use your module to solve problems, and be sure to include code
+examples. Include three to five examples of the most important or common tasks a
+user can accomplish with your module. Show users how to accomplish more complex
+tasks that involve different types, classes, and functions working in tandem.
+
+## Reference
+
+This section is deprecated. Instead, add reference information to your code as
+Puppet Strings comments, and then use Strings to generate a REFERENCE.md in your
+module. For details on how to add code comments and generate documentation with
+Strings, see the [Puppet Strings documentation][2] and [style guide][3].
+
+If you aren't ready to use Strings yet, manually create a REFERENCE.md in the
+root of your module directory and list out each of your module's classes,
+defined types, facts, functions, Puppet tasks, task plans, and resource types
+and providers, along with the parameters for each.
+
+For each element (class, defined type, function, and so on), list:
+
+* The data type, if applicable.
+* A description of what the element does.
+* Valid values, if the data type doesn't make it obvious.
+* Default value, if any.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+### `pet::cat`
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### `meow`
+
+Enables vocalization in your cat. Valid options: 'string'.
+
+Default: 'medium-loud'.
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+In the Limitations section, list any incompatibilities, known issues, or other
+warnings.
+
+## Development
+
+In the Development section, tell other users the ground rules for contributing
+to your project and how they should submit their work.
+
+## Release Notes/Contributors/Etc. **Optional**
+
+If you aren't using changelog, put your release notes here (though you should
+consider using changelog). You can also add any additional sections you feel are
+necessary or important to include here. Please use the `##` header.
