Warning

The preview for the index won't show, and the documentation won't be rendered as it would within the https://hf.co/docs/microsoft-azure. To make sure that you are able to preview the docs, just create a PR and the doc-builder bot will build those and comment with the URL of the docs pointing to your PR.

Warning

When contributing note that the examples available at https://hf.co/docs/microsoft-azure are dynamically generated from the examples/ directory when building the docs, so if you want to either add or update any example, you need to directly edit those under examples/.

Additionally, you need to be aware and run make clean to prevent the auto-generated content from being pushed into main.
