+# Design of the Package
+
+This page documents some design decisions that were made when building this
+`sphinx` extension.
+
+`sphinx-exercise` includes:
+
+1. `directives`
+2. `nodes`
+3. `post_transforms`
+4. integrations with `sphinx.env`
+
+## Directives
+
+See [](syntax.md) for futher details on the available directives and options
+
+## Nodes
+
+The nodes support the directives:
+
+1. `exercise_node`
+1. `exercise_enumerable_node`
+1. `solution_node`
+
+as well as custom title infrastructure:
+
+1. `exercise_title`
+1. `exercise_subtitle`
+1. `solution_title`
+1. `solution_subtitle`
+
+and support for `:numref:` references to enumerated exercise nodes
+in the LaTeX context by resolving the node title numbering:
+
+1. `exercise_latex_number_reference`
+
+The `title` and `reference` nodes are used internally by the
+`directives` and are then removed in `post_transforms` negating the need
+for any custom `translator` methods. The use
+of custom nodes allows for simpler detection of objects by this
+extension, rather than catering for additional items that may be added by other
+sphinx components.
+
+## Post Transforms
+
+The `post_transforms` run in the following order:
+
+1. UpdateReferencesToEnumerated (priority = 5, before `pending_xref` are resolved)
+2. ResolveTitlesInExercises (priority = 20)
+3. ResolveTitlesInSolutions (priority = 21)
+4. ResolveLinkTextToSolutions (priority = 22)
+
+These `post_transforms` are setup to resolve in `Exercise` -> `Solution` -> `References`
+ordering. Any `:ref:` made to an enumerated `exercise` node are converted into `numref`
+references prior to `pending_xref` objects are resolved by `sphinx`.
+
+This is aligned with most use cases in a document. In the case of `solutions`
+if the target node (title) has not been resolved, this is checked and then resolved
+as required.
+
+**Design Decision:** It was decided to integrate with `:ref:` and `:numref:` roles
+to support both reference styles to `exercise` and `solution` directives.
+The `post_transforms` are required to make adjustments the the `sphinx` abstract
+syntax tree (AST) to support `:numref:` and the resolve `titles`
+in `exercise` and `solution` admonitions. This is required as components of
+`numref` are resolved at the `translator` phase for `html` and is activated
+essentially by default for LaTeX but leaves the numbering to the `LaTeX`
+builder such as `pdflatex`.
+
+## Additional Notes
+
+###  Package Registry `sphinx.env.sphinx_exercise_registry`
+
+This package includes a registry of all `exercise` and `solution`
+nodes that are parsed.
+
+This registry includes nodes referenced by their `label`:
+
+```python
+self.env.sphinx_exercise_registry[label] = {
+    "type": self.name,
+    "docname": self.env.docname,
+    "node": node,
+}
+```
+
+and records the `type`, `docname` where the node is parsed, and
+the `node` object.

-Enumerable directives can also be referenced through the `numref` role like ```{numref}`my-exercise` ```, which will display the number of the exercise directive.

Referencing the above directive will display {numref}`my-exercise`. In this case it displays the same result as the `{ref}` role as `exerise` notes are (by default) enumerated.
 
+Furthermore, `numref` can take in three additional placeholders for more customized titles:
 
+1. _%s_
+2.  _{number}_ which get replaced by the exercise number, and
+3. _{name}_ by the exercise title.[^note]

+An example ```{numref}`My custom {number} title and {name}` ``` would resolve to {numref}`My custom {number} title and {name} <my-exercise>`
 
 [^note]: If the exercise directive does not have a title, an `invalid numfig format` warning will be displayed during build if the user tries to use the _{name}_ placeholder.
