Welcome to Docs0

Docs0 is a Markdown-based documentation website than runs on GitHub Pages. It is based on the Jekyll static site generator. In this page you will find all the information you need to customize the website.

You must follow only 3 steps:

Configure the website by changing the parameters in the _config.yml file.
Update the content of _myassets folder (images, css).
Add your documents to the _mydocs folder (md, see sections below).

If you also need to create custom layouts, you can do it by adding new files in the _layouts folder: in this case, please add _my suffix to the file name (e.g. page_my.html).

Test Locally

You can run the website locally to see the changes before pushing them to the repository. To do this, you need to install Jekyll and the GitHub Pages gem. See: Setting up your GitHub Pages site locally with Jekyll

Directory Structure

User content is placed in folders starting with _my prefix (e.g. _mydocs, _myassets), this way it is easier to understand what is part of the website structure and what is not.

Documentation content is placed in the _mydocs folder. The folder structure is used to create the navigation menu of the website.
Each document is a Markdown file with a .md extension.

Folders, files and images must be named using the following rules:

Don't put spaces or other special characters (_ & , ; : % $ " ' / \ ? ! @) in file names.
For example: this-is-a-new-file.md instead of this is a new_file.md.
Use lowercase file names. For example: dropdown1.png instead of Dropdown1.png.

Note that folders and files starting with an underscore (_) are ignored by the system, so if you need to create some internal files, please use this prefix or (better) place them in a folder starting with _my (e.g. _myinternal).

Editing Conventions (and Markdown Syntax)

Markdown documents are simple text files with additional special syntax that you can use to style your content, embed images, or create links.

These documents are interpreted, this means that what you write is not exactly what will appear on the website, for this reason, it is recommended to use the VSCode preview pane to see the final result while editing.

NOTE: Don't use any Markdown flavor, just standard Markdown syntax.

Parameters:

layout: always set the value page.
title: set the title of the document.
description: (optional) a page description used in page meta and the Next Reading/Related sections
menu_title: (optional) set a title for the navigation menu, if you want to make it different from the main title.
next_title: (optional) set a title for the Next Reading section of the pages, if you want to make it different from the main title.
body_class: (optional) set a custom CSS class for the body of the document.
published: set true to display the document on the website.
unlisted: set true to hide the document from the navigation menu.
draft: (optional) set true to show a notice that the document is not completed (note that this notice appears automatically if the document is empty or if it contains a <todo></todo> tag. Set nodraft: true to avoid displaying the notice.
date: set the creation date of the document.
modified: set the date of the last modification of the document.

Note that the last modified date is automatically updated when the document is modified and pushed to the repository. Use this parameter only if you need to set a specific date.

order: set a string to be used to sort the document in the navigation menu - check existing files to know how sorting works. In general, if the page is the child of a node, it is necessary to insert the order attribute of the parent node plus a slash / and a number (if you want to give a static position) or a sanitized version of the title (without spaces and special characters - if you want to use alphabetical sorting). Note that numbers come before letters (as they are placed before in the ASCII table); if you want that they are placed after letters, you need to enclose them in curly braces: e.g. zzz is after 01 but before {01}.
toc: (optional) set false to hide the automatic table of contents.
toc_h_min: (optional) set the minimum heading level to include in the table of contents. This setting is set at the site level in the _config.yml. Default is 2.
toc_h_max: (optional) set the maximum heading level to include in the table of contents. This setting is set at the site level in the _config.yml. Default is 3.
breadcrumbs: (optional) set false to hide the breadcrumb.
internal: (optional) used to define some internal reference, useful for maintenance - not displayed on the website.
next_reading: (optional) set true to show the Next Reading section at the end of the page. Note there is also a special template tag you can use to obtain the same result, useful if you need to place it on a different position.
next_reading_title: (optional) set a custom title for the Next Reading section. Default is: "Next Reading". It can be false to deactivate title. You can change the title at the site level by editing the next_reading_title variable in the _config.yml file.
next_reading_ol: (optional) list items as ordered list.
related: (optional) define a list of pages related to this one; you can use URLs relative to the _mydocs root (they must start with a slash) or relative to the same parent path (no slashes at the beginnig) - ../ is not supported. At the bottom of the page will be displayed a section like Next Reading. If defined, the next_reading option will be ignored.
related_title: (optional) set a custom title for the related section. Default is: "Related Pages". You can change the title at the site level by editing the related_title variable in the _config.yml file.
pdf: (optional) set true to enable the PDF download button. Note that you can set the PDF download button at the site level by editing the pdf variable in the _config.yml file.

Link

Markdown	Rendered Output
[This website](https://docs.okviz.com)	This website

The URL of the links can be:

Absolute URL
When you need to link a page external to the repo. For instance:

[OKVIZ website](https://okviz.com/)
Relative URL
When you need to link a page of the repo.
- If the page to link is in the same folder as the document, simply use the file name as the URL.
  For example, smart-filter-pro/changelog.md contains the following link to smart-filter-pro/about.md:
  
  [About](about.md)
- If the page belongs to a different folder, you need to go up one level and include the new folder name in the URL.
  For example, smart-filter-pro/changelog.md contains the following link to general/licensing.md:
  
  [Licensing](../general/licensing.md)
Anchor
Markdown automatically generates anchors for each title/heading you place in a document. An anchor is a way to identify a location in a document.
Every anchor has an ID equal to a sanitized version of the title it refers to.
For example, a title like this:

## Check for updates

has an anchor with this ID:

check-for-updates

Sanitizing the title means that spaces are replaced with dashes - and all special characters (such as & , ; :) are removed.

You can create links to anchors by adding a # plus the anchor ID to the URL.
For example, smart-filter-pro/changelog.md contains this link to the Price section of general/licensing.md:

[Licensing](../general/licensing.md#price)

If the link needs to point to an anchor on the same document, you can simply write # plus the anchor ID. For instance:

[See "Check for updates" below](#check-for-updates)

Screenshot (Image)

Syntax	Rendered Output
<img src="images/screenshot.png" width="500">	N/A

You are not allowed to embed images in Markdown documents like in Word, but they must be referenced from another location. This means that you need to place image files in a separate folder to use them in a document.

Always create a folder called images in the parent folder of the document you are working on (if it doesn't exist) and put all the images in it. For example, the images of smart-filter-pro/about.md must be placed in the folder _mydocs/smart-filter-pro/images/.

Set a reasonable number of pixels in the width attribute of the <img> tag.

You can align text around images by adding class="fr" or class="fl" to the img tag.

You can remove borders from images by adding class="noborder" to the img tag.

Screencast (Video)

Syntax	Rendered Output
<video src="images/screencast.mp4" autoplay loop muted width="500"></video>	N/A

Like with images, you need to use a HTML syntax to embed videos in your pages. Follow the same rules and best practices of images.

Be sure to include autoplay, loop and muted attributes.

Badges

Sometimes it is necessary to display the availability limits of a feature described by the document. You can do this by adding the available, version or premium attributes in the document header or, if you need to put this information in a different position on the page, you can use this syntax anywhere in the text:

Syntax	Rendered Output
{% include badge in="Mode A" %}	Mode A
{% include badge v="1.1.0" %}	v1.1.0
{% include badge premium=true %}	Premium ✦

Color Cells

You can include simple color cells in your pages.

Syntax	Rendered Output
{% include color value="#FF0000" %}

Next Reading

You can add a section containing a list of links to other pages at the same folder level. You can also use the next_reading option in the document header to automatically display this section at the bottom of the page.

Syntax	Rendered Output
{% include next %}	Next Reading Second page Third page

Notes (Blockquotes)

You can add notes to your documents by using the blockquote syntax.

Syntax	Rendered Output
> This is an info note	i This is an info note
>> This is an alert note	! This is an alert note

TODOs

You can add some placeholders and notes in unfinished documents, to keep track of the content to be edited or the tasks to be performed. TODOs are not displayed on the rendered page, but still visible if you inspect the html in the browser – if you need to add a truly hidden content, please use comments. Also, when there is a TODO in the file, a draft notice is added the rendered page.

<todo>Take a screenshot</todo>

You can choose to rendere the TODOs in the page by adding the visible attribute:

Syntax	Rendered Output
<todo visible>This page will contain a screenshot of the described feature.</todo>	This page will contain a screenshot of the described feature.

Comments

To comments lines of text, DO NOT USE the standard HTML syntax , as it is inspectable in the browser. Instead, use the following syntax:

{% comment %}

    This is a comment

{% endcomment %}
