<h2 id="basic-flow">Basic Flow</h2>
<p>Make a directory for your docs:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>mkdir docs
<span class="nb">cd</span> docs
</pre></div>


<p>Write some docs (UTF-8):</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>touch index.markdown
touch installation.markdown
touch usage.markdown

vim .
</pre></div>


<p>Render your docs:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>d
</pre></div>


<p>Copy the output somewhere:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/>rsync -d build/ myserver:/var/www/myproject
</pre></div>


<h2 id="the-introduction-page">The Introduction Page</h2>
<p>The text of the main page (above the table of contents) comes from the
<code>index.markdown</code> file.</p>
<p>This page doesn't need a title.  Just write out the text you want to show above
the table of contents.</p>
<h2 id="the-footer">The Footer</h2>
<p>The contents of the footer comes from <code>footer.markdown</code>.</p>
<h2 id="documentation-files">Documentation Files</h2>
<p>There are a few rules to follow when writing docs for use with <code>d</code>.  They should
be pretty intuitive once you try them out.</p>
<h3 id="extensions">Extensions</h3>
<p>You can use <code>.markdown</code>, <code>.mdown</code>, or <code>.md</code> as the extension for your Markdown
files.  <code>d</code> doesn't care.</p>
<h3 id="layout">Layout</h3>
<p>Each Markdown file (other than the introduction and footer) is rendered as
a separate page.</p>
<h3 id="page-titles">Page Titles</h3>
<p>Every page other than the introduction needs a level 1 heading as the first
line.  It will be used as the title of the page.</p>
<p>If you don't have a level 1 heading as the first line, <code>d</code> will try to guess
that page title based on the filename.  It may or may not do a good job.</p>
<h3 id="other-headings">Other Headings</h3>
<p>There shouldn't be any other level 1 headings.  Levels 2/3/4/5/6 are fine.</p>
<h3 id="links">Links</h3>
<p>Link to other documents by using their filenames with no extension.</p>
<p>For example: the URL for <code>usage.markdown</code> would be <code>/usage/</code>.</p>
<h3 id="relative-urls">Relative URLs</h3>
<p>If you're planning on serving these docs at a URL other than <code>/</code> you should add
<code>..</code> before links to other pages.</p>
<p>For example: the URL for <code>usage.markdown</code> would now be <code>../usage/</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> these relative URLs are safe to use even when you're serving the docs
at <code>/</code>, so there's no disadvantage to using them other than a bit more typing.</p>
<h3 id="tables-of-contents">Tables of Contents</h3>
<p>Use <code>[TOC]</code> to display a table of contents for the current page, if you want
one.</p>
<h2 id="example">Example</h2>
<p>Here's a sample documentation file to get you started:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span/><span class="gh">Installation</span>
<span class="gh">============</span>

Here's how to install my project.

If you just want to see how to use it, take a look at the [samples][] page.

[samples]: /samples/

[TOC]

<span class="gh">Linux</span>
<span class="gh">-----</span>

Use your package manager.

<span class="gh">Windows</span>
<span class="gh">-------</span>

It depends on what version of Windows you have.

### Windows XP

<span class="cp">...</span>

### Windows Vista

<span class="cp">...</span>

### Windows 7
