# Whitehall
Whitehall (also known as 'Whitehall Admin' or 'Whitehall Publisher') is used by publishers to create and manage content (e.g. ).
## Running the Application
**Use [GOV.UK Docker](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-docker) to run any commands that follow.**
## Nomenclature
- *Govspeak* A variation of [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown) used throughout whitehall as the general publishing format
## Technical documentation
This is a Ruby on Rails app, and should follow [our Rails app conventions](https://docs.publishing.service.gov.uk/manual/conventions-for-rails-applications.html).
You can use the [GOV.UK Docker environment](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-docker) to run the application and its tests with all the necessary dependencies. Follow [the usage instructions](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-docker#usage) to get started.
### Running the test suite
These commands assume you have the [GOV.UK Docker environment](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-docker) running and its binaries in your PATH.
```
