Writing Commands Documents
The command documents located in docs/en/commands
, are generated
docs and aren't meant to be edited directly. The command documentation is defined in
commands-yml/commands
.
Generating Commands Documents
To generate the commands docs, run npm run generate-docs
. This will generate the markdown
files in docs/en/commands
and then they need to be committed and pushed.
Adding Documents to Appium.io
Markdown files in docs/
aren't automatically added to the site. To add a document to https://appium.io
you need to add it as an entry in toc.js
Publishing
To publish documentation on appium.io see appium.io.
