This site has been generated with DocumentUp (eat your own dog food, people)
Automatically generated documentation sites for your markdown files! There are various ways of getting your documentation going:
Hosted
DocumentUp hosts your documentation sites. Just visit http://documentup.com/username/repository to generate a site from your README.md.
Recommended if you have a public Github repository.
CNAME
You can point a CNAME to project.username.documentup.com.
Post-Receive Hook
If you want your readme to be recompiled, please add a Post-Receive Hook to your Github repository pointing to: http://documentup.com/recompile
Manual Recompile
Visit http://documentup.com/username/repository/__recompile to manually tell the server to recompile your readme.
Useful when changes are made to the stylesheets on the server but the compilation hasn't been triggered for a while.
Configuration
Add a .documentup.yml dotfile file to the root of your repository. Refer to the options section below for its contents. Feel free to consult this repository's .documentup.yml
JSONP example with jQuery
$.ajax({
url: "http://documentup.com/compiled",
dataType: "jsonp",
data: {
content: "# test",
name: "Test JSONP!"
},
success: function(resp){
// `status` is always provided
if (resp.status == 200) {
// Write to your document
document.open();
document.write(resp.html);
document.close();
}
}
});gh-pages
For those wanting to stay within the comfort of their gh-pages branch, it's still possible by using an index.html file similar to this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://github.com/jeromegn/DocumentUp/raw/master/documentup.min.js"></script>
<script>
DocumentUp.document("username/repository");
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>Make sure to change the "username/repository" to the repository's name and user's username.
Use the documentup.min.js file in this repository, not the one what used to be on cdnjs.com, it's deprecated.
Configuration
DocumentUp.document accepts either a String or an Object representing your desired configuration. If an object is used, remember to add a repo option containing the path "username/repository" to your github repository.
All options detailed in the options section are available.
In addition to those, one special option is available to "gh-pages version" of DocumentUp:
afterRender (Function)
A function to be executed after the document has been replaced with the compiled HTML.
Example
DocumentUp.document({
repo: "jeromegn/documentup",
name: "DocumentUp",
twitter: [
"jeromegn",
"DocumentUp"
],
afterRender: function(){
alert("rendered");
}
});What this script does
It does what's written in the JSONP section, without the jQuery dependency. It uses a endpoint like: http://documentup.com/username/repository?callback= to fetch the cached copy of the repository and then replaces the page's html with the generated documentation.
Formatting guide
Just like you normally would. DocumentUp also supports "Github Flavored Markdown" and we recommend you use it for syntax highlighting.
It doesn't support tables as it is supported on Github, but you can use inline HTML.
h1's (# in markdown) will appear as first level navigation in the sidebar while h2's (##) will appear under them as sub-navigation.
Example:
# Project name / Title (won't appear in the sidebar)
Some intro text if you want.
## Top level-navigation
### Sub-navigation
#### This wouldn't show up in the sidebarOptions
name
String, default: repository name
Name of your project. It'll appear in the header of the sidebar. Defaults to the repository substring of the repo option.
color
String, default: "#336699"
CSS-like color representing the color for the links both in the sidebar and the content.
theme
String, default: null
Name of the theme to use. Refer to the themes sections.
issues
Boolean, default: true
Adds a link to the sidebar for the issues tab of the repository if true. Also accepts a string if your issues are managed elsewhere.
travis
Boolean, default: false
Indicate if the project is being tested by Travis-CI. If true, it'll add the small travis badge in the sidebar.
String / Array of strings, default: null
Add follow buttons for one or more Twitter accounts to your sidebar. Useful to gather followers.
google_analytics
String default: null
This is your Google Analytics "UA" unique ID. Adds GA tracking to your generated documentation.
e.g.: "UA-5201171-14"
Themes
Default
The one you're looking at now.
V1
For the nostalgic. Use v1 in your theme config option.
