These days, software companies typically develop their software products in agile teams, which are often also responsible for creating documentation. The “Docs-as-Code” approach integrates documentation authoring into software development workflows to support continuous development and delivery. In our presentation we show how we use Sphinx and reStructuredText to implement and continuously improve Docs-as-Code in our software development.

Takeaways

The audience will learn about the Sphinx documentation environment, the reStructuredText markup language, and how the "Docs-as-Code" approach can be implemented in software documentation with this framework.
