Linking Markdown to Docusaurus

important

This thing is written based on only the cursory experimenting I've done so far

Markdown Files#

Basically all Markdown files go in the docs folder

Each Markdown file should have at least id and title YAML headers:

---
id: some-id  # seems like the convention is to separate words with hyphens?
title: Some Title
---

...rest of Markdown document...

Sidebar Configuration#

Add the id of the Markdown document to the correct category/make new category in sidebars.js

sidebars.js should have a general structure like:

module.exports = {
    sidebarName: {
        "Some Category Name": [
            "some-id",
            "another-id",
            ...
        ],
        "Another Category Name": [
            "yet-another-id",
            { // subcategory declaration
                type: 'category',
                label: 'Subcategory Name',
                items: [
                    'subcategory-doc-id',
                    ...
                ]
            }
            "yet-yet-another-id"
            ...
        ]
    }
}

Full description of possible headers (more info here):

id: A unique document id. If this field is not present, the document's id will default to its file name (without the extension). (Please still explicitly include the id though! )
title: The title of your document. If this field is not present, the document's title will default to its id. (Also explicitly include the title too)
hide_title: Whether to hide the title at the top of the doc. By default it is false.
sidebar_label: The text shown in the document sidebar and in the next/previous button for this document. If this field is not present, the document's sidebar_label will default to its title.
custom_edit_url: The URL for editing this document. If this field is not present, the document's edit URL will fall back to editUrl from options fields passed to docusaurus-plugin-content-docs.
keywords: Keywords meta tag for the document page, for search engines.
description: The description of your document, which will become the <meta name="description" content="..."/> and <meta property="og:description" content="..."/> in <head>, used by search engines. If this field is not present, it will default to the first line of the contents.
image: Cover or thumbnail image that will be used when displaying the link to your post.
