Authoring

A wiki would be nothing without pages. In Markdoc, pages are written in Markdown, a plain-text formatting syntax designed by John Gruber. In his own words:

Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

[...]

The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.

For a comprehensive guide to the Markdown syntax, consult the markup reference documentation. The rest of this document will cover the Markdoc-specific conventions and constraints related to writing wiki pages.

Linking

Every page in your wiki will likely link to several other pages. Markdoc does not require any special syntax for internal links; the usual Markdown format will work. An example of a link from this very page follows:

For a comprehensive guide to the Markdown syntax,
consult the [markup reference documentation](/ref/markup).

As you can see, the link href is an absolute path to the document, without any extension. Markdoc will process this and convert it into a relative path when rendering the corresponding HTML. This means that you can host Markdoc wikis under sub-directories on a web server, and the links will still work properly.

If you split your wiki up into sub-directories (for example, in this wiki, there is an internals/ directory), the pattern remains the same. A link to the internals/rendering document looks like this:

A link to the [internals/rendering](/internals/rendering) document.

Note that links will only be made relative if they begin with a / character; for example, a link to http://www.google.com/ will be left untouched.
