Contributing

This is the repository for Microsoft Edge documentation hosted at https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/.

If you would like to see new coverage or have feedback, please consider contributing. You can edit the existing content, add new content, or simply create new issues. We'll take a look at your suggestions and will work together to incorporate them into the docs.

Find the data for the Status page at: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/Status. The Status page provides the latest implementation status and future plans for web platform features in Microsoft Edge.

Conventions

  • When adding a page, you must add an entry for it in toc.md for it to appear.
  • A folder can contain more folders or readme.mds
  • Folder/directory names are dash-separated (e.g., f12-tools) and lowercase. They are used in URLs on the docs.microsoft.com site. Don't use underscores or PascalCase/camelCase.

Other text elements

These other text elements have styling available:

  • Unordered lists
  • Have regular bullets
    • You can also nest bullets.
    • Bullets lists should have more than one entry.
  • Pretty standard
  1. Ordered lists.
  2. Use regular ol' western-style numbering.
  3. Should be used only when a list truly has order.

Horizontal rules are available. We suggest using them sparingly to reduce clutter. Do not combine horizontal rules with heading tags; some already used line styles for visual hierarchy.

Displaying code

You can use inline code Markdown syntax (with the backticks).

Or you can display blocks of code like so:

body {
    background: #fff;
}

Tables

You can use headers on tables
Left-aligned Unless a # 456
Text value More text $0.00

Notes

Use notes sparingly. They are blocks designed to highlight "don't-miss-it" information.

We have four different versions of notes currently styled:

  • NOTE
  • WARNING
  • TIP
  • IMPORTANT

Respectively, those look like:

Note patterns

> [!WARNING]
> Hello. Yes. I am a warning note that has been automagically created. My text may wrap to more than one line when the Markdown is parsed, but I must include all my information within a single (sometimes very long line) in the Markdown itself.```

For multi-line blockquote notes, use a > in front of each line of the notes as seen in the example below.

Images

Images should be stored in a media folder and referenced with a relative path:
