Repository structure

The internal structure of development and main branch.

The docs/ folder

The source content for the general Lisk documentation is located in the docs/ folder.

The file structure follows the expected structure for Antora documentation, see: docs.antora.org/antora/latest/standard-directories/.

All content is written in AsciiDoc.

The ui/ folder

The presentation of the documentation is stored completely separate from the actual content.

The UI is based on the Antora default UI (see also docs.antora.org/antora-ui-default/).

It is customized as listed in the following points below:

• Updated the CSS to improve the UX and follow the Lisk brand styleguide.

• Added additional features, such as:

  • Algolia site search

  • Dark theme

  • Zoom for images

  • Additional layout for swagger UI

  • Tab-blocks

  • …​

The build/ folder

The build folder contains the following:

• …​the site.yml file, which is used to generate the Lisk documentation using Antora.

• …​the searchdocs-scraper folder, for creating the search index.

• …​the lib folder which stores the Asciidoc extensions that are used in the Lisk documentation.
