There are two supports for OFbiz documentation, this wiki and some mains documents (in pdf and html format)
The OFBiz documents are generated from a number of Asciidoc files. In general, the files are stored on each component in the 'src/docs/asciidoc' directories.
The general main documents include all files from component.
Thank you and Enjoy!
