Description

I love using the new Ruby docs with the Aliki theme. GraphQL-Ruby currently uses YARD and a hand-rolled jekyll site for documentation, but I'm thinking about migrating to RDoc.

This would get me a lot for free: search, category browser, table of contents, auto-linking, decent css

Some thoughts:

  • Move as much "guides" content into actual source code
  • Preserve redirects from old urls
  • Transform YARD to RDoc -- is there an automatic transformer? https://github.com/AaronC81/sord ?
  • How can I bring-my-own GraphQL syntax highlighting?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing YARD-generated documentation and hand-rolled Jekyll site, then compare the proposed RDoc workflow and Aliki theme. Define how guides, old-URL redirects, YARD conversion, search, and GraphQL syntax highlighting would be handled; the migration is done when the documentation is served through RDoc without losing those capabilities.
