As I replied in previous mail, 文档 is the appropriate translation for
this particular situation in zh_CN.

In Chinese, 示例 is more likely describing examples for a work, and 范例
for a thing that others could learn.

参看 is more specific to references in a book, manual, or something in
this kind, when we are using 参考 in a book, it is more likely "查看 ...
作为参考".
