How to include a documentation file when creating a Nuget package

Question

I'm trying to create a Nuget package using MSBuild. I would like to include documentation files (html, pdf) in this Nuget package, is there any way to do this without using nuspec files?

Hi @47729319 ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

For your requirement, you can refer to the following property in your .csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">  
  
  <PropertyGroup>  
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>  
    <GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile>  
  </PropertyGroup>  
  
</Project>  

Sincerely,
Anna

No, only text files and .md files.

A better idea is to use DocFx.
