- Check if the issue you are going to file already exists in our GitHub issues.
- If you can't find your issue already, open a new issue, making sure to follow the directions as best you can.
Please see the PowerShell-Docs-DSC repository for details.
- When writing Markdown documentation, use semantic linefeeds. In most cases, it means "one clause/idea per line".
- Otherwise, these issues should be treated like any other issue in this repository.
Documentation is spellchecked. We use the textlint command-line tool, which can be run in interactive mode to correct typos.
To run the spellchecker, follow these steps:
- install Node.js (v10 or up)
- install textlint by
npm install -g textlint textlint-rule-terminology
- run
textlint --rule terminology <changedFileName>
, adding--fix
will accept all the recommendations.
If you need to add a term or disable checking part of a file see the configuration sections of the rule.
Documentation is link-checked. We make use of the
markdown-link-check
command-line tool,
which can be run to see if any links are dead.
To run the link-checker, follow these steps:
- install Node.js (v10 or up)
- install
markdown-link-check
bynpm install -g [email protected]
- run
find . \*.md -exec markdown-link-check {} \;
