Cocos-docs Contribution Guide

Format

All the documents should use Github-Flavoured Markdown Format

Here are some really good markdown editors for this job

• Dillinger
• Sublime Text with markdown plugin
• Mou
• Marked

Folder Structure

We create such a folder structure to support multiple languages translation:

1. For each article we create multiple markdown files based on different language

en.md // English version
zh.md // Chinese version
ja.md // Japanese version

2. Create a res folder for any images or other resource file related to the document

3. Overall Folder Structure

- catalog // keeps the catalog file
- manual // Detailed documents about how to use cocos
  - framework
    - native  // Cocos2d-x
      - module_1  // use lowercase + underscore style
        - article_name_1  // the same, lowercase + underscore
          - res   // image and other resources
        - article_name_2
      - module_2
    - html5  // Cocos2d-html5 documents
  - studio  // CocoStudio documents
- tutorials // Tutorials

Creating a New Document

When you create a new document, please follow these steps:

• Create a new folder, locate it in a proper subfolder in manual or tutorial. Cocos-docs unify all folder names and file names as lowsercase + underscore style, e.g. tutorial/parkour_game_with_javascript. Please don't use uppercase, minus, or space in folder & article names, especially no space.
• Create en.md, zh.md, ja.md, ko.md etc, following ISO 639-1 Language Codes
• Write contents in [language_code].md
• If your document contains images or sample project, please add a res folder, then put your image sources in my_article/res/abc.jpg
• After your finishes the document, please don't forget to add a link in cocos-docs/catalog/en.md (zh.md, etc.)
