typedocinc

Insert files content in documentation pages generated with typedoc.

With this tool, API documentation writers will insert their own content before and after the original content of a typedoc-generated documentation. For every .html file in the original documentation, the tool creates the <basename>_before.md and <basename>_after.md files. Next, the documentation writer adds content in these files. Finally, the tool merges the original documentation and the before and after files, and saves the new documentation.

Usage

typedocinc build original --includes original_includes --target original_modified

Build a modified documentation version in original_modified. Merge the original documentation in original folder with custom content in original_includes folder.

The original_includes folder contains the files with the content you want to include either before (_before) or after (_after) the API documentation text in the original.

For example, you want to include your custom text before API text in original/index.html. To this end, you will create the original_includes/index_before.md file. To include your custom text after the API text in original/index.html, you will create the original_includes/index_after.md

In original_includes/index_before.md:
