Content Authoring and Daily Usage
This chapter explains how to write and organize docs content.
Creating a New Doc Page
Add a Markdown file under docs/, for example:
- docs/getting-started.md
- docs/docusaurus/installation.md
Docusaurus automatically adds routes and sidebar entries when using autogenerated sidebar mode.
Frontmatter Basics
Use frontmatter at the top of each file:
---
title: Getting Started
sidebar_position: 2
slug: /getting-started
---
Key fields:
- title: page title
- sidebar_position: order in sidebar
- slug: custom route segment
Markdown and MDX
- Use .md for pure markdown docs
- Use .mdx when embedding React components
Use MDX sparingly. Prefer plain markdown for maintainability.
Images and Static Assets
- Store shared images in static/img
- Reference with /img/... path in markdown
Example:

Cross-Linking Pages
Use relative links between docs for easy navigation.
Example:
See [Installation](./4-installation.md) to set up the project.
Writing Quality Tips
- Keep one main topic per page
- Use short sections and actionable headings
- Include copy-paste command blocks
- Add troubleshooting near complex steps
