Customize the footer

Writerside lets you customize the footer to improve navigation to product-related resources and make your documentation website more visually appealing.

You can add links to social media and other resources, copyright information, and legal notice.

Go to the Project tool window (press Alt+1 to open) and create the /cfg/buildprofiles.xml file with the following contents.
<buildprofiles xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://resources.jetbrains.com/writerside/1.0/build-profiles.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <variables> </variables> <build-profile instance="instance_id"/> <footer> </footer> </buildprofiles>
Place any of the elements from the list below inside the <footer> tag. All tags are optional.

Examples

This is how the footer looks without any of the optional elements.

This is how it looks with just the copyright and two social links.

                
                <footer>
                    <copyright>Product 2023</copyright>
                    <social type="blog" href=""></social>
                    <social type="twitter" href=""></social>
                </footer>
                
            

This is how it looks with all possible elements.

                
                <footer>
                    <copyright>Product 2000-2023</copyright>
