Setting up and maintaining the project website:

  • We use Jekyll to manage documentation.
  • The docs/ folder is used for documentation.
  • To learn how to set up and maintain the project website, follow the guide [se-edu/guides] Using Jekyll for project documentation.
  • Note these points when adapting the documentation to a different project/product:
    • The ‘Site-wide settings’ section of the page linked above has information on how to update site-wide elements such as the top navigation bar.
    • :bulb: In addition to updating content files, you might have to update the config files docs\_config.yml and docs\_sass\minima\_base.scss (which contains a reference to EduMate that comes into play when converting documentation pages to PDF format).
  • If you are using Intellij for editing documentation files, you can consider enabling ‘soft wrapping’ for *.md files, as explained in [se-edu/guides] Intellij IDEA: Useful settings
