+# Check docs for style
+
+Ruff has the ability to check that you have:
+
+- Documented all public modules, classes, methods and functions
+- Written your docstrings according to a particular style
+- Not missed parameters from method and function docstrings
+
+This is not turned on by default, as it is not able to [distinguish between a missing docstring, and one that is inherited from a parent class](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/9149)
+
+## Enabling docstring checking
+
+There are a number of competing docstring styles, ruff supports numpy, google and pep257. If you would like to check for the google docstring style, you can configure in ``pyproject.toml`` by:
+
+- Turning on the checker
+
+```toml
+[tool.ruff.lint]
+extend-select = [
+    # ...
+    "D",   # pydocstyle - https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/#pydocstyle-d
+    # ...
+]
+```
+
+- Selecting a convention
+
+```toml
+[tool.ruff.lint.pydocstyle]
+convention = "google"
+```
+
+- Ignoring docstring checking in tests
+
+```toml
+[tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores]
+"tests/**/*" = [
+    # ...
+    "D",      # Don't check docstrings in tests
+    # ...
+]
