Make sure you have Python version 3.8 or higher installed. You can download it from the official Python website.
Open the Command Prompt and execute the following commands:
pip install mkdocs
pip install mkdocs-material
For a preview, run:
mkdocs serve
Open a web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to view the results.
All documentation is organized within the docs
folder. Inside this folder, you'll find subfolders with names corresponding to different languages (e.g., ru
, en
, etc.). The root folder contains the mkdocs.yml
file, where the main documentation settings are specified.
For more detailed settings, refer to the official MkDocs website. However, for basic documentation editing, you only need the nav
section. In this section, you define the documentation structure. In other words, if you want to create a new documentation page, create a file in the format docs/<language>/<subsection>/my_file.md
.
Then, in the nav
section of the mkdocs.yml
file, specify the path to the new page relative to the docs
folder, following the required structure.
Additionally, you can create an index.md
file inside a subfolder to automatically generate a page for that subsection. This simplifies navigation through the documentation and makes it more structured.
