+<!-- 
+This layout can be used to generate API docs from an OpenAPI specification. 
+
+When creating a new API reference page, you can specify these optional params in the front matter:
+- sourcefile: The path to the OpenAPI specification file (YAML or JSON) relative to the page. Default: ./openapi.json
+- backLink: The path to the page to link to in the top left corner. Default: Parent page
+
+Here's what the file structure should look like to use this template:
+<containing-folder>/
+├---------api-reference/
+|                  └------<spec-file-name> (default openapi.json)
+|
+├---------api-reference.md
+|
+└---------<other files>
+
+Here's what the api-reference.md front matter should look like:
+---
+Title: <API Name>
+linkTitle: API reference
+layout: apireference
+type: page
+params:
+  sourcefile: ./<spec-file-name> (optional - only specify if not using ./openapi.json)
+  backLink: <path-to-page> (optional - only specify if not using the parent page)
+---
+
+Example usage for the Redis Cloud API with all params set:
+---
+Title: Redis Cloud API
+linkTitle: API reference
+layout: apireference
+type: page
+params:
+  sourcefile: ./openapi.json
+  backLink: operate/rc/api
