I have a question about integrating the DocFX Tool in my current project, the src path is currently: src/**.csproj
But my project is not in the src path. I initialized DocFX into the project path. ToDo/DocFX.
How can i set the path in the .json file to the main directory of the project?

So... This doesn’t work with the XML documentation in .Net? Only markdown?

Microsoft please make documentation accessible offline, come on. So many documentations are online only, such a bummer.
