This project is a PHP port of the popular [Slate](https://github.com/tripit/slate) API documentation tool.

> If PHP is not your thing and you're more into nodeJS, why not give [Whiteboard](https://github.com/mpociot/whiteboard) a try?

Check out a Documentarian [example API documentation](http://marcelpociot.de/whiteboard/).

The documentation is available at [http://marcelpociot.com/documentarian/installation](http://marcelpociot.de/documentarian/installation)

### Slate / Whiteboard compatibility

[](#slate--whiteboard-compatibility)

Since both Documentarian and Slate use regular markdown files to render the API documentation, your existing Slate API documentation should work just fine. If you encounter any issues, please [submit an issue](https://github.com/mpociot/documentarian/issues).

### In depth documentation
