Markdoc Format

Markdoc format is the format used when pages are synced on DeveloperHub using GitHub Sync. Markdoc is markdown-based authoring framework for writing documentation.

Frontmatter Syntax

Every page has a frontmatter header, such as this one:

Markdoc Syntax

Markdoc is a superset of Markdown, so you can still write Markdown as you usually do, including the following nodes:

Markdown
    
​x
 
## Headers​**Bold**​_Italic_​[Links](/docs/nodes)​![Images](/logo.svg)​Unordered Lists- Item 1- Item 2- Item 3​Ordered Lists1. Item 12. Item 2  1. Item 1 under 23. Item 3​> Callouts​`Inline code`​```Code fences```
Copy

In addition to Markdown, we provide tags and attributes for all blocks and inline blocks.

Blocks have the following syntax:

Markdown
    
 
{% block-type attr1="value1" attr2="value" %}contents{% /block-type %}
Copy

While inline blocks have the following syntax:

Markdown
    
 
{% block-type attr1="value1" attr2="value2" /%}
Copy

The syntax is shown below for every block with an example:

Code Block

Markdown
    
 
{% code %}{% tab language="javascript" %}function fibonacci(num, memo) {  memo = memo || {};​  if (memo[num]) return memo[num];  if (num <= 1) return 1;​  return memo[num] = fibonacci(num - 1, memo) + fibonacci(num - 2, memo);}{% /tab %}{% /code %}
