Documentation by markdown with customized layout

Technical documentation should be easily ready by a user. Layouting the content of a document takes lots of time in Windows Word. Especially, Technical document, the coding block is hard to read. Markdown has been widely adopted for the documnetation but it needs a massage in order to present to your client. As the result, HTML should be a good option as a output format of a document. Different format of document can be generated by browser. Printing as PDF or saving the whole page as an image file.

This simple project is designed to work with Mermaid and Chartjs. If the markdown can express a diagram in words and or using Javascript code to generate a chart will be helpful to me for writing a document to a client.

PNG or PDF Formats

You can generate a full page png / pdf instead of html file by adding an option with the command:

md2html -f png example.md example.png
# or
md2html -f pdf example.md example.pdf

Mermaid Examples

Writing a code block with a syntax keyword mermaid to let the generator knows which code block will be converted into diagram/chart. Besides, the svg will be optimized by SVGO to minize the file size of the output document.

The mermaid diagram will generate as a svg and embbed in the output html file just like the image is shown below:

Mermaid diagram 1

Mermaid diagram 2

ChartJS

Adding keyword chartjs behinds the syntax name to let the generator knows which code block will be used to generate a svg chart in the output document.

Generating Chartjs diagram by using code block like belows:

Noted: You can write a simple logic to generate a dynamic dataset for chartjs
