Extras

Home page

The server will automatically search for a file named index.md, readme.md or README.md on the specified documentation root and will use it as your home page.

You can customize the CSS style in a file named custom.css.

Table of contents

The special text [[toc]] will be replaced by the table of contents of the markdown document, based on headings.

Navigation index

The special text [[index]] will be replaced by the full navigation index of all markdown files found under the specified root dir. File and folder names will be humanized for better readability.

It is particularly useful on the home page to provide an overview of the available documentation for your project.
