Contributing

This is the repository for Windows 10 IoT documentation hosted at https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/iot-core.

If you would like to see new coverage or have feedback, please consider contributing. You can edit the existing content, add new content, or simply create new issues. We’ll take a look at your suggestions and will work together to incorporate them into the docs.

To edit content, just click edit on the article you want to make changes to:

You can also clone or download the repo to make changes:

You will also need to add a reviewer or reviews to your pull requests to get them approved:

Conventions

• When adding a page, you must add an entry for it in toc.md for it to appear.
• A folder can contain more folders or readme.mds
• Folder/directory names are dash-separated (e.g., f12-tools) and lowercase. They are used in URLs on the docs.microsoft.com site. Don't use underscores or PascalCase/camelCase.

Other text elements

These other text elements have styling available:

• Unordered lists
• Have regular bullets
  • You can also nest bullets
  • Bullets lists should have more than one entry.
• Pretty standard

1. Ordered lists
2. Use regular ol' western-style numbering.
3. Should be used only when a list truly has order.

---

Horizontal rules are available. We suggest using them sparingly to reduce clutter. Do not combine horizontal rules with heading tags; some already used line styles for visual hierarchy. Also, do not combine notes (see below) in the middle of numbered lists. This messes with the numbering order.

Displaying code

You can use inline code Markdown syntax (with the backticks).

Or you can display blocks of code like so:

body {
    background: #fff;
}

Tables

You can	use headers	on tables
Left-aligned	Unless a #	456
Text value	More text	$0.00

Notes

Use notes sparingly. They are blocks designed to highlight "don't-miss-it" information.

We have four different versions of notes currently styled:

• NOTE
• WARNING
• TIP
• IMPORTANT

For multi-line blockquote notes, use a > in front of each line of the notes as seen in the example below.

Images

Images should be stored in a media folder and referenced with a relative path:
