Updates the tutorial for writing help center articles to encourage
contributors to add to or enhance the existing help center docs
before writing a new articles for new features.
Also, generally updates references to 'user documentation' to be
'help center documentation'.
Additionally, updates some headers within the tutorials for clarity
and consistency, and adds some linkifying throughout the section on
writing documentation.
Expands the developer tutorial 'Writing a new application feature' to
include more detail about the documentation aspects of adding a new
feature. Adds references to specific files that will be impacted and
highlights API changes as well as writing `/help` articles.
We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
Move docs/tutorials/documenting-api-endpoint.md to
docs/documentation/api.md.
This makes it easier to find when browsing the complete set of
materials on writing Zulip documentation.
