How to specify where the doc/ folder is located relative to mkdocs.yml

[sfc-gh-dwilczak]

Hey Team!

How would I go about specifying where the doc/ folder is located in the mkdocs.yaml file?

In my scenario:

• mkdocs.yml
• src/
• • docs/
• • mkdocs.yml

The reason for this is that the src/ is used in an externally facing application, where many of the doc functionalities and pages are different, but I would like to use some of the markdown files in public-facing docs in gh-pages. Essentially my goal is to have two docs but both use the same docs/ folder.

The docs_dir configuration option should help with this.

Thank you for this! It's been so long since I had to read mkdocs documentation that I completely forgot that is the base for mkdocs-material.
