@BillWagner @IEvangelist, I think roslyn sdk docs need much improvements. Beside the reported issue, I don't find any intermediate to advanced scenarios that one will face when writing analyzers and code fixers. I tried to write analyzers before in both dotnet/roslyn and dotnet/roslyn-analyzers, and I always came across different problems. No resources are available anywhere online. Neither on docs, blogs, or stackoverflow. I was only able to get help from Roslyn team.

I'm still not experienced enough in this area, so I won't be able to help much unfortunately. However, you can look at my previous PRs related to writing analyzers in roslyn or roslyn-analyzers repos. I faced a problem in almost every PR. I hope these PRs can give you an insight of what mistakes/problems customers may face, and decide what deserves to be documented.

This probably will be hard to be done before .NET 5 and C# 9 waves as I think they're the top priority now.

@Youssef1313 Yes, we know the roslyn analyzer area needs more work. We simply haven't had time. I'm hoping that as we keep improving the other C# content, I can start to prioritize this more.

These are incredibly helpful. Thank you.
