.psmdoc file structure

All configurations and attributes are optional, a .psmdoc file can be as simple as a single line of text.

Hello World!

Files are parsed in blocks, each block is separated by a blank line. Blocks can contain new lines inside them. The following example shows a document with two blocks.

Hello World!

This is a new block
that contains multiple lines
in it.

Block attributes

Heading

Headings are defined by a single hash and the header level. The following example shows a document with three headings.

#H1 Introduction

#H2 Getting Started
with PSMDOC

#H3 Installation

In the previous example, H2 constains many lines of text, but the parser will consider it as a single block. This is because the block is separated by a blank line. And usefull to create content in mobile devices for better reading.

Bold text

Bold text is defined by asterisks. The following example shows a document with bold text.

*This is a bold text*

#H1 My Document is *awesome*

will render as:

This is a bold text

My Document is **awesome**

Italic text

Italic text is defined by underscores. The following example shows a document with italic text.

_This is an italic text_

#H1 My Document is _awesome_

will render as:

This is an italic text

My Document is _awesome_

Lists

Lists are defined by a dash. The following example shows a document with a list.

- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item *3*

will render as:

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

Links

Are two types of links, internal and external links.

Internal links are lines that start with #IL followed by the link text and the file name. The file name must be the same as the file name.

#IL /GettingStarted/Introduction.psmdoc "Getting Started" target="_blank"

External links are lines that start with #EL followed by the link text and the URL.

#EL https://www.google.com Google target="_blank"

Inline links

Inline links inside other blocks (text, headings, lists, etc) are added in new lines with the following syntax:

This is a link inside a text block to
#EL https://www.google.com Google target="_blank"
 main page.

- Item 1
- Item 2 link to
#EL https://www.google.com Google target="_blank"
page.
- Item 3

Images

Images are lines that start with #IMG followed by the image URL and the alt text.

#IMG https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png "Google Logo" width="100" height="100" fit="cover"

Code

Code is defined by three backticks. The following example shows a document with code.

function helloWorld() { console.log("Hello World!"); }

Tables

Tables are defined by a first line with #table Caption, and following lines with the table headers and rows.

#table My Table
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Row 1    | Row 1    | Row 1    |
| Row 2    | Row 2    | Row 2    |
| Row 3    | Row 3    | Row 3    |

Quotes

Quotes are defined by a #QUOTE tag. The following example shows a document with a quote.

#QUOTE This is a quote
