Documentation Guidelines

Style guide and how-to for writing documentation using Material for MkDocs in Dyalog projects.

How to Develop Docs

We use Git submodules to include centralised styles and assets to ensure consistent styles and enable updates from a single location that pervade all of our MkDocs-based documentation.

To make sure you have these, use the --recurse-submodules flag when you clone the repository:

git clone [email protected]:Dyalog/documentation-guidelines.git --recurse-submodules

If you do a normal clone, you can still get the submodules afterwards:

git submodule init
git submodule update

The build system takes a fresh checkout, so published documentation will get the latest updates from Dyalog/documentation-styles. However, when writing documentation, you might need to manually update the submodule.

git submodule update
