Doc-generator
Here is the documentation of the language in markdown, and a program to generate static HTML files from them.
src
folder
Rust code to generate HTML files from MD files.
The binary is called like:
generator --input /path/to/markdown/folder/ --output /path/to/static/folder/
markdown
folder
Contains the Markdown. All files inside are expected to be UTF-8 encoded
markdown, and have the .md
file extension.
Indexing
doc-generator
will not search for .md
files. Instead, it will search for
.toml
files, which index all the markdown files. This is used to generate
the file hierarchy and previous/next links in the documentation.
This file must be named index.toml
, must be the only TOML file in its folder,
and must follow the following schema:
# Tipically index
entry-point = "file-without-extension"
[folder-1]
section-name = "Display name for the folder"
# Markdown files, without the .md extension
children = [
"file1",
"file2",
]
Markdown extensions
The markdown follows the CommonMark specification, but certain code blocks contain custom behaviour:
meta
A code block with language meta
contains text in TOML format that indicates
metadata for the current page.
```meta
title: "Title of the page"
description: "Description of the page"
```
- title: Used to create the title of the page with the format
{title} - Misti
- description: The description of the page, placed in a
<meta>
element in the<head>
static
folder
Contains CSS, JS, and HTML templates. Here the MD files are written to after being converted.
There must be a template.html
file inside this folder. This file will be used to generate the HTML from MD files.
Inside template.html
there must be a string {{markdown}}
:
<!-- Some html -->
{{markdown}}
<!-- More html -->
This string, {{markdown}}
, will be replaced with the HTML generated
from Markdown
dist
folder
Coming soon, this folder will contain all HTML, CSS & JS minified after running a script.
