MarkDoc is made using Express and the package markdown-folder-to-html.
All the files in _docs directory is treated as separate HTML pages.
The docs directory is where all the .md files are located and _docs is where all the HTML files of the converted markdown files are located.
To write a new page, create a .md file in the docs folder. Once you type in all the markdown text in the file, in the console run
npm run docs
That will convert the md files into .html, which is stored in the _docs folder. The URL of that page goes by the file name.
In the _docs folder, which can be edited using the index.md file in the docs folder, there is a index.html file which is the main page of your website.
The basic HTML structure of your webpage is located in the template.html file in the docs folder.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" />
<title>Blog Post</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="layout">
<nav id = "menu">
<!--NAV-->
</nav>
<article id = "main" class = "content">
<!--CONTENT-->
</article>
</div>
<script>
// FROM http://purecss.io/js/ui.js
(function(window, document) {
var layout = document.getElementById("layout"),
menu = document.getElementById("menu"),
menuLink = document.getElementById("menuLink");
function toggleClass(element, className) {
var classes = element.className.split(/\s+/),
length = classes.length,
i = 0;
for (; i < length; i++) {
if (classes[i] === className) {
classes.splice(i, 1);
break;
}
}
// The className is not found
if (length === classes.length) {
classes.push(className);
}
element.className = classes.join(" ");
}
menuLink.onclick = function(e) {
var active = "active";
e.preventDefault();
toggleClass(layout, active);
toggleClass(menu, active);
toggleClass(menuLink, active);
};
})(this, this.document);
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can edit the template however you like, but remember to add <!--NAV--> to wherever you want the navigation bar should be and add <!--BODY--> to where the page content should be. Also, you can modify the structure of each of the HTML files in the _docs folder.
All the styles are located in public/style.css. These styles are applied to all the pages. You can also modify
You can add a folder in docs and add files, and this will act as subdivisions for pages!
When adding folders to act as subdivisions, make sure to add it in the docs folder and not _docs folder as the folders will not be shown!
