It was updated as part of Erlang 27, and I think it looks much better! It uses ex_doc from Elixir so there’s more coherence between both Erlang, Elixir and open source projects for both.

It is also converted to Markdown (instead of the old XML format) so it should be much easier to contribute to :wink: hint hint

Today, I successfully changed the documentation for my ecron erlang library to ex_doc, and it looks very good. You can refer to it.

the white color mode is great, with light colors like blue and yellow.

I would love to add , diagrams and examples. with such stheme

Diagrams are already supported (and examples are just codeblocks, aren’t they?), see e.g. the gen_server behavior docs :slight_smile:

Those are written with Mermaid, via codeblocks using the mermaid language. See the source at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/erlang/otp/refs/tags/OTP-27.2.4/system/doc/design_principles/gen_server_concepts.md
