Writing Guide

Working with documentation, markdown formatting, and writing style guide.

Note

The mkdoc_translate script can adapt some markdown extensions for use with pandoc conversion, but not everything.

While it is fine to use the mkdoc_translate script for initial Content Migration, if you wish to continue using this tool for language translation you are advised to keep the following writing guidelines in mind.

Material for MkDocs

The writing guide is setup for use with the excellent Material for MkDocs.

This is a great project that was selected by the GeoNetwork community (primarily for the visual appeal). In practice it ends up being quite a nice way to "keep up" with advances in the mkdocs ecosystem without having to constantly research what is best.
