Formats

HTML

Pages to be included in the documentation

By default, Limedocs Wiki Converter will check for the following files to use as a table of contents (TOC):

• _Toc.md
• _Sidebar.md (which is the default sidebar file on Github wikis)

When finding a TOC, lwc will only generate pages linked from this TOC.

Inlining

By default, the HTML output format will generate a single-page HTML document of you wiki, with all assets inlined, such as images, css, and javascript. So all you need to transfer documentation (to a collegue for example) is to send him/her this unique file.

You can disable this inlining feature by passing --disable-inline-assets (or -d) such as serveral files will be generated for each of images, css and javascript files.

Table of contents (TOC)

The TOC is rendered using a fixed div in the HTML documentation. You can use --toc-level to prevent the TOC div to overlap the body element.

PDF

Rendering

PDF rendering is done using wkhtmltopdf which should be available in your PATH. It simply renders (more or less) the HTML version of your doc in PDF.

Code highlighting

Code highlighting is rendered using highlight.js. You can customize the theme used by using the --highlight-theme option. By default, darkula theme is used.
