Feedback

We welcome your valuable feedback on the documentation! Please feel free to join our Community on Telegram and send us a message. We would be delighted to hear from you and assist you with any queries or concerns you may have.

Documentation Issues

If you come across any issues with the documentation or have a feature request related explicitly to it, we encourage you to create a new GitHub issue. Before creating a new issue, we kindly request that you check for existing issues to avoid duplication.

Contributing

To contribute to Avalonia UI documentation, you need to fork this repository and submit a pull request for the Markdown and/or image changes that you're proposing.

Workflow

The two suggested workflows are:

• For small changes, use the "Edit this page" button on each page to edit the Markdown file directly on GitHub.
• If you plan to make significant changes or preview the changes locally, clone the repo to your system to and follow the installation and local development steps in Local setup.

Conventions

• The front matter for every markdown file should include the id and a title. id will be used to reference the file in sidebar.js or version-x.x.x-sidebars.json for a specific version.

  ---
  id: platform-support
  title: Supported Platforms
  ---

• Use lowercase for file and folder names and dashes - as separators. For example:

  • /docs/getting-started/ide-extensions.md
  • /docs/how-to/use-google-fonts.md

• Images are important to bring the product to life and clarify the written content. For images you're adding to the repo, store them in the img subfolder inside static folder. For every topic there needs to be a folder inside \static\img\ section, for example: static\img\how-to\use-google-fonts\download-font.png. When you link to an image, the path and filename are case-sensitive. The convention is for image filenames to be all lowercase and use dashes - for separators.

  Example code for adding an image in markdown file:

  <div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
  
  <img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/button-group.png" alt="Button group" />
  
  </div>
