Structure

This is the structure that the documentation follows:

website/content/_index.md
               /stocks/_index.md
                      /load/_index.md
                      /candle/_index.md
                      /discovery/_index.md
                                /ipo/_index.md
                                    /...
                                /...
                      /...
               /cryptocurrency/_index.md
                              /chart/_index.md
                              /defi/_index.md
                                   /borrow/_index.md
                                   /...
                              /...
               /...
               /common/_index.md
                      /technical_analysis/_index.md
                                         /ema/_index.md
                                         /...
                      /...

Note that the common folder holds features that are common across contexts, e.g. technical analysis can be performed on both stocks or crytpo.

New Feature

To add a new command, there are two main actions that need to be done:

1. Create a directory with the name of the command and a _index.md file within. Examples:

   • When adding ipo, since this command belongs to context stocks and category discovery, we added a ipo folder with a _index.md file within to website/content/stocks/discovery.
   • When adding candle, since this command belongs to context stocks, we added a candle folder with a _index.md file within to website/content/stocks/.

2. The _index.md file should have the output of the command -h followed by a screenshot example (with white background) of what the user can expect. Note that you can now drag and drop the images while editing the readme file on the remote web version of your PR branch. Github will create a link for it with format (https://user-images.githubusercontent.com//.file_format).

Example:

---

usage: ipo [--past PAST_DAYS] [--future FUTURE_DAYS]

Past and future IPOs. [Source: https://finnhub.io]

• --past : Number of past days to look for IPOs. Default 0.
• --future : Number of future days to look for IPOs. Default 10.

<IMAGE HERE - Use drag and drop hint mentioned above>

3. Update the Navigation bar to match the content you've added. This is done by adding 2 lines of code to website/data/menu/, i.e. a name and a ref. Example:

---
main:
  - name: stocks
    ref: "/stocks"
    sub:
      - name: load
        ref: "/stocks/load"
      - name: candle
        ref: "/stocks/candle"
      - name: discovery
        ref: "/stocks/discovery"
        sub:
          - name: ipo
            ref: "/stocks/discovery/ipo"
          - name: map
            ref: "/stocks/discovery/map"
