Developing documentation

The best way to develop docs for the Foam repo is to directly open the $foam-repo/docs/ as the root folder in a new vscode window. This automatically configures vscode with the necessary settings enabled (like [link-reference-definitions]) to effiniently write this documentation.

Organization

The Foam documentation is organized into two areas:

  • User docs, located at $foam-repo/docs/user/*, which are copied in their entirety into $foam-template-repo/docs.
  • Developer docs, located at $foam-repo/docs/dev/*

New user docs should be added to the User docs folder in the main Foam repo, then copied over to the Foam Template repo.

[todo]: Automate this process. Idea: github action to open a PR on any change to /docs/user
