Contributing to Documentation

Build the Documentation Locally

In order to build the website locally, you'll need Node.js >= 12.16 (or basically the latest LTS version).

The setup is straight forward:

# Link external doc repos
./setup-deps.sh

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Serve locally (by default on port 8080)
npm start

Text Highlights

There are three types of text highlights that can be used to display different colored boxes.

A green box displaying a friendly tip:

:::tip
foo
:::

A yellow box with a cautious warning:

:::warning
foo
:::

A red box with a clear danger, you can also add a title foo to any container:

:::danger foo
bar
:::

Embedding YouTube videos

To add a YouTube video with a preview, you can so so by linking to it like this:

[![BTCPay Server Crowdfunding](https://img.youtube.com/vi/tFbfyneDj88/mqdefault.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFbfyneDj88 "BTCPay Server Crowdfunding")

Note that the link item need to be a preview image (either from YouTube or a custom one) to result in an embedded video.

External documentation repos

The build documentation site combines a bunch of docs living in different repositories.

Before the build we check out the other repositories, copy their docs into the right places and link them just as the docs in this repo.

The process for that is defined in the setup-deps.sh script.
