Documentation

xBFreE Project, xBFreE and xBFreE-Analyzer have their own documentations based in Mkdocs-Material. We additionally use external plugins and modified code to optimize the content.

For the code documetation, xBFreE uses Google style for formatting docstrings. Length of a line inside docstrings block must be limited to 100 characters to fit into Jupyter documentation popups.

If you have some issues with building docs - please make sure that you installed the required pip packages.
