This folder generates the API docs for Terminal.Gui.
The API documentation is generated via a GitHub Action (`.github/workflows/api-docs.yml`) using [DocFX](https://github.com/dotnet/docfx). The Action publishes the docs to the `gh-pages` branch, which gets published to https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/.
## To Generate the Docs Locally
0. Install DotFX https://dotnet.github.io/docfx/tutorial/docfx_getting_started.html
1. Change to the `./docfx` folder and run `./build.ps1`
2. Browse to http://localhost:8080 and verify everything looks good.
3. Hit ctrl-c to stop the script.
If `docfx` fails with a `Stackoverflow` error. Just run it again. And again. Sometimes it takes a few times. If that doesn't work, create a fresh clone or delete the `docfx/api`, `docfx/obj`, and `docs/` folders and run the steps above again.
Note the `./docfx/build.ps1` script will create a `./docs` folder. This folder is ignored by `.gitignore`.
