I'm writing my own documentation for a small ActionScript 3 library that I've written.
I'm trying to keep as close to the layout and content of the Adobe Livedocs as I can, while cleaning it up a little bit.
I think I've covered everything that people will want to know when reading my documentation, but I don't want to miss out on anything crucial before I start adding all of the classes I've created etc.
Is there anything you wish some documentation had? Are there things in most docs that you consider unessential?
Here's what I've got so far: https://projectavian.com/docs/zephyr/#/entity
Some things I've tried to cover are:
- Easy direct links to documentation sections. ie
/#/class.propertyOrMethod
as above. - Neat tables at the top of the page listing briefly each property, method, constant or whatever other relevant staples are present in the class.
- Clearly separated blocks of information relating to each property or method which can be navigated to directly by the URL in step 1. Clicking the relevant text in the tables at the top of the page will also link down to here.
- Tidy layout for method arguments with concise explanations about each.
