All doc should be using markdown file format. I don't care what tool is used to create them

the openusd docs look pretty good https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD/blob/dev/docs/README.md

I think at least for me, I'm going to just use the raw markdown and no tools. I was only considering docfx that generated the markdown from all the sharpmake code. That generation needs to be done once in a while when an API/Interface changes.

For now I think we can mark the first task done for the tool.
I have made a temp repo on my own account (https://github.com/Sharlock93/Sharpmake-Docs) for the initial draft.

The repo now contains all the generated code for the Sharpmake and Sharpmake.Generator projects, this is under api.

Last couple of weeks have been exceptionally busy at work as I'm trying to hit a milestone hence the slow work. Hopefully the rate will increase as I get more into the flow.

I was expecting a MR with modifications in docs folder. not a new repo.

Yes, ultimately I will merge it in into the docs. I just wanted to put it in a temp repo so it doesn't touch anything else just yet.
