Storj's documentation is written using Markdown. See Github's basic markdown guide
The directory structure of the documentation follows Next.js app directory routing conventions. This means that the URL path for a page corresponds to its location in the directory structure.
For example, a page located at dcs/guide/page.md would be accessible at https://docs.storj.io/docs/guide.
Every documentation page must be named page.md.
The front matter is a section at the beginning of each Markdown file (page.md) that contains metadata about the page. It's enclosed between two triple-dash lines (---). Here's an explanation of each field in the front matter:
title: The title of the article or page. This is typically displayed at the top of the page.
docId: A unique identifier for the document. This can be used for internal tracking and linking. See Internal Linking
redirects: A list of URLs that should redirect to this page. This is useful for maintaining links when a page's URL changes or for creating aliases for a page.
metadata:
title: The text that should be displayed in the browser's title bar for this page.
description: A brief summary or overview of the page's content. This description can be used in search results and previews.
The metadata fields are converted to a nextjs export. Additional metadata fields that may work can be found here
Linking by docId
You can link to other documents using their docId. The link name will be the title of the linked document. Linking by docId ensures that the links remain valid even if the URL structure changes.
Syntax
To create an internal link using docId, use the following syntax:
[](docId:your-doc-id-here)Replace your-doc-id-here with the docId of the target document.
You can optionally add a fragment to link to certain section of the page by adding a # after the docId followed by the fragment.
[](docId:your-doc-id-here#fragment)Override Link Name
You can specify custom link text by inserting it between the square brackets []. Here's an example:
[Custom Link Name](docId:3gNhGvPOi3DFDya6NyVb0)
This will render as a link with the text "Custom Link Name," pointing to the document with the docId 3gNhGvPOi3DFDya6NyVb0.
Markdown is parsed and rendered using Markdoc. It allows for custom components see src/markdoc/tags.js
Images must be stored within the "Website Assets" internal project at Storj with the prefix of
