# Pleroma documentation
This project contains a documentation skeleton and a script to fill it in with data, the resulting documentation can be viewed at <https://akkoma.dev/main>.
## Contributing to the documentation
If you want to suggest an edit, please refer to the `AkkomaGang/akkoma` and `AkkomaGang/pleroma-fe` repos.
We use [mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) to build the documentation and have the [admonition](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/extensions/admonition/) extensions that make it possible to add block-styled side content like example summaries, notes, hints or warnings. If you are unsure of how a specific syntax should look like, feel free to look through the docs for an example.
## Building the docs
You don't need to build and test the docs as long as you make sure the syntax is correct. But in case you do want to build the docs, feel free to do so.
You'll need to install mkdocs for which you can check the [mkdocs installation guide](https://www.mkdocs.org/#installation). Generally it's best to install it using `pip`. You'll also need to install the correct dependencies.
To build the docs you can clone this project and use the `manage.sh` script.

[pipenv run] make all
```
`./manage.sh all` will fetch the docs from the pleroma and pleroma-fe repos and build the documentation locally. To see what other options you have, do `./manage.sh --help`.
