Documentation Capabilities

This page lays out the capabilities used by the QMK Firmware documentation, in order to aid future transitions to other page generators. Focuses mainly on things other than normal Markdown, as it's assumed that markdown generators should still function accordingly.

Overall capabilities

Unrelated to styling, high-level tech.

• I18n -- translations to other languages: _langs.md
• Sidebar -- listing of pages by category: _summary.md
• Title anchors -- :id=some-anchor-name, used for direct linking to sections
  • Links to anchors:
    • Style 1: early initialization
    • Style 2: early initialization
    • Links to anchors on the same page, i.e. Emoji
• Specifying CNAME for root domain -- docs.qmk.fm
• Moved pages, see index.html
• Text search
• Footnotes like this

Nested dotted:

• The PR is complete and ready to merge
• GitHub checks for the PR are green whenever possible
  • A "red" check may be disregarded by maintainers if the items flagged are unrelated to the change proposed in the PR
    • Modifications to existing files should not need to add license headers to pass lint, for instance.
    • If it's not directly related to your PR's functionality, prefer avoiding making a change.

Nested dashed:

• The PR is complete and ready to merge
• GitHub checks for the PR are green whenever possible
  • A "red" check may be disregarded by maintainers if the items flagged are unrelated to the change proposed in the PR
    • Modifications to existing files should not need to add license headers to pass lint, for instance.
    • If it's not directly related to your PR's functionality, prefer avoiding making a change.

Nested numbered:

1. The PR is complete and ready to merge
2. GitHub checks for the PR are green whenever possible
   1. A "red" check may be disregarded by maintainers if the items flagged are unrelated to the change proposed in the PR
      1. Modifications to existing files should not need to add license headers to pass lint, for instance.
      2. If it's not directly related to your PR's functionality, prefer avoiding making a change.

Nested mixed:

1. Add it to the schema in data/schemas/keyboards.jsonschema
2. Add a mapping in data/maps
3. (optional and discouraged) Add code to extract/generate it to:

• lib/python/qmk/info.py
• lib/python/qmk/cli/generate/config_h.py
• lib/python/qmk/cli/generate/rules_mk.py

Styling

Indented sections

Indent without any sort of marker

Keyboard keys

,

Right Alt+Right Shift

1. Click File > New > Makefile Project with Existing Code

2. Click File > Preferences > > Settings

3. Hit Ctrl-` (Grave) to bring up the terminal or go to View > Terminal (command workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal). A new terminal will be opened if there isn‘t one already.

   This should start the terminal in the workspace's folder (so the qmk_firmware folder), and then you can compile your keyboard.
