# Documentation
Our documentation is build with [mkdocs][mkdocs].
## Writing
All documentation files are found in the `docs/content` directory of
<!-- markdownlint-disable proper-names -->
the [hedgedoc/hedgedoc repo](https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc). These files are just normal
<!-- markdownlint-enable proper-names -->
markdown files with nothing special about them.
The configuration for mkdocs lies in the `docs` folder in a file called `mkdocs.yml`. With that file
the theme and menu - among others - can be configured.
**Please note:** Any new files need to be linked to by other files or put in the navigation,
otherwise the files will be very hard to find on the documentation website.
## Building
To build the documentation locally you need to perform the following steps:
1. Make sure you have python3 installed.
2. Go into the `docs` folder.
3. Install all the dependencies (E.g. with a [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html))
with `pip install -r requirements.txt`
4. Start the mkdocs dev server (`mkdocs serve`) or build the documentation (`mkdocs build`).
## Deployment
The documentation is deployed with [mkdocs][mkdocs].
<!-- markdownlint-disable proper-names -->
The repository [docs.hedgedoc.org][docs.hedgedoc.org] is used to deploy the actual website
<!-- markdownlint-enable proper-names -->
to github.io. Currently only the `master` branch is deployed as it contains the latest release.
