TYPO3 Extension `doc`
=====================

[](#typo3-extension-doc)

This extension adds an option to the *Help* menu called *Project Documentation*, that lets you deliver documentation about your project from within TYPO3 CMS backend.

[![Help](Resources/Public/Images/Help.png)](Resources/Public/Images/Help.png)

The extension also ships with a widget for the TYPO3 Dashboad extension to give you quick access to your project documentation.

[![Widget](Resources/Public/Images/Widget.png)](Resources/Public/Images/Widget.png)

The documentation is based on Markdown. This makes it easy to write documentation while you're building a custom extension, or afterward. You could include descriptions of content elements, release notes, instructions for raising issues or anything else that needs to be documented.

The JS library [docsify](https://docsify.js.org/) transforms **markdown files** into beautiful HTML content.

Write the documentation
-----------------------

[](#write-the-documentation)

> Without any documentation, this extension is not useful at all :)

Check out the sample documentation included in this extension which you can use as a guide `EXT:doc/Resources/Private/ExampleDocs`. See also the [Markdown Cheatsheet](Resources/Private/ExampleDocs/Setup/Markdown.md) as there are some nice features available.

When you create your own documentation make sure to put the folder with your markdown files in `Resources/Private`. Otherwise your markdown files may be publicly accessible.
