Working with mkdocs

WordOps documentation is built with mkdocs and mkdocs-material.

Mkdocs provide the ability to build a static documentation site, with source files written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file. MkDocs builds completely static HTML sites that you can host on GitHub page or anywhere else.

You can install Mkdocs locally to use the site live preview feature.

• install mkdocs:
  • guide for windows
  • apt install mkdocs -y on debian/ubuntu
• start mkdocs built-in web-server mkdocs serve or mkdocs.exe serve inside the repository folder
• browse documentation live preview on http://127.0.0.1:8000

You can learn more about mkdocs usage on the official documentation
