- A Language-Neutral Intermediate Representation for API Reference and User Documentation
Aug 26, 2026 from 04:00 PM to 05:00 PM (Europe/Berlin / UTC200)
Existing documentation generators are per-programming language tools. RIOT-OS shows the consequence: its C reference, its Rust API and its hand-written guides are three separate sites, produced by three different tools.
This talk introduces an IR-first approach to API and User documentation, with the goal of unifying all into a single IR that will then be transformed into a single output as HTML or any other compatible format.
