fsdocs and FSharp.Formatting

FSharp.Formatting is a set of libraries and tools for processing F# script files and markdown, and for generating API documentation from XML doc comments. The primary tool is fsdocs.

Full documentation: https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Formatting/

The fsdocs tool

fsdocs builds a static documentation site from the markdown files and F# scripts in your docs folder, plus API reference pages for the projects in your solution.

dotnet tool install fsdocs-tool
dotnet fsdocs build
dotnet fsdocs watch

• init creates a docs folder with a default index.md.
• build processes the docs folder and writes the site to output.
• watch builds the site, serves it locally and rebuilds on every change.
• convert converts individual markdown and script files.

Run dotnet fsdocs <command> --help to see the options of a command, or read the command line guide.

The libraries

The same functionality is available as NuGet packages for use from your own code:

• FSharp.Formatting bundles the markdown parser, F# code formatter, literate programming support and API doc generator.
• FSharp.Formatting.Literate only contains the literate programming support and its dependencies.

See Markdown parser, F# code formatting and literate programming for examples.
