SESSION
This presentation outlines Ansys’s journey from fragmented API documentation formats to a unified, Markdown-based system centralized on the Developer Portal. It highlights the challenges of inconsistent tools and structures, the strategic shift to Markdown, contributor enablement through templates and training, and the benefits of improved collaboration, reduced maintenance, and enhanced developer experience. The roadmap concludes with future plans for AI-assisted documentation and automated publishing workflows.
