Python generation

You can also generate your documentation and access parameters from python as follow :

ontodoc.Documentation(input_graph='example/foaf.ttl').generate()

Automatically generate your documentation

You can explore github actions to automatically generate and publish your documentation. If you need some inspiration to do it, check our ontodoc github action.

Example 👀

Look at the example for foaf to see what type of documentation you can easily build in 2 lines!

If you want to change the markdown templates, take a look at the structure of the default ones.
