title: Markdown documentation in Visual Studio Solution
body: <p>I started a new project using c# and Visual Studio 2017. My goal is to manage the documentation inside Visual Studio to have all files in one place and a complete and easy accessable history in TFS/Git.<br>
  I have the code in the <code>src</code> folder, the test projects in the <code>test</code> folder, the documentation as Markdown files in the <code>docs</code> folder (I use <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.MarkdownEditor" rel="noreferrer">Markdown Editor</a>). There is also a Readme.md in the root folder: </p>

  <p>Now there are some problems:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The structure in Visual Studio is different than in the file system. All md-Files I create in Visual Studio are placed in the root directory of the Solution. I could create the files in Windows Explorer and add "Existing Item" but this
  is a pain.</li>
  <li>I can move md-files in Visual Studio but they won't move in the file system.</li>
  <li>All file references are saved in the sln-file which would change a lot. I'd like to avoid that.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I read about creating an empty c# project and disable building for that project but that seems like a hack too.</p>
  
  <p>Are there some recommendations to manage documentation files in Visual Studio?</p>
