## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### Download
|
|
|
|
Download this repository as a zip, and unpack. Copy the files to a web server that can run PHP 5.3 or greater.
|
|
You can also run the documentation locally using Grunt.js, which is covered at the end of this readme.
|
|
|
|
If you don't intend to modify Daux.io and just want to use it, you only need to copy `resources`, `daux.phar`, `global.json`, `generate`, `serve` and `index.php` With these, you're ready to create your documentation.
|
|
|
|
If however you wish to do some advanced modifications, I recommend you use the raw version and run `composer install` to get started.
|
|
|
|
### Writing pages
|
|
|
|
Creating new pages is very easy:
|
|
1. Create a markdown file (`*.md` or `*.markdown`)
|
|
2. Start writing
|
|
|
|
By default, the generator will look for folders in the `docs` folder.
|
|
Add your folders inside the `docs` folder. This project contains some example folders and files to get you started.
|
|
|
|
You can nest folders any number of levels to get the exact structure you want.
|
|
The folder structure will be converted to the nested navigation.
|
|
|
|
You must use underscores instead of spaces. Here are some example file names and what they will be converted to:
|
|
|
|
**Good:**
|
|
|
|
* 01_Getting_Started.md = Getting Started
|
|
* API_Calls.md = API Calls
|
|
* 200_Something_Else-Cool.md = Something Else-Cool
|
|
* _5_Ways_to_Be_Happy.md = 5 Ways To Be Happy
|
|
|
|
**Bad:**
|
|
|
|
* File Name With Space.md = FAIL
|
|
|
|
### See your pages
|
|
|
|
Now you can see your pages. you have two options for that : serve them directly, or generate to various formats.
|
|
|
|
We recommend the first one while you write your documentation, you get a much quicker feedback while writing.
|
|
|
|
#### Serving files
|
|
|
|
You can use PHP's embedded web server by running the following command in the root of your documentation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Upload your files to an apache / nginx server and see your documentation
|
|
|
|
[More informations here](!Features/Live_mode)
|
|
|
|
#### Export to other formats
|
|
|
|
Daux.io is extendable and comes by default with three export formats:
|
|
|
|
- Export to HTML, same as the website, but can be hosted without PHP.
|
|
- Export all documentation in a single HTML page
|
|
- Upload to your Atlassian Confluence server.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Here's how you run an export:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./generate
|
|
```
