Building a Markdig Extension for DocFX: Remote Content Inclusion with AI Rewriting
A new Markdig extension called docfx-remote-include has been developed to enhance DocFX by allowing remote content inclusion. This tool enables documentation teams to fetch and inline content from various sources without duplicating it. The extension also incorporates AI capabilities for content adaptation, ensuring that the integrated material matches the surrounding documentation style.
- ▪DocFX is an open-source documentation generator by Microsoft that traditionally does not support remote content inclusion.
- ▪The docfx-remote-include extension allows users to fetch markdown content from remote sources during the build process.
- ▪It includes AI features that can rewrite fetched content to match the tone and style of the surrounding documentation.
