Here we look at cljdoc features for APIs

Namespace docstrings can contain markdown.

And should support links repo to articles and inline repo images

Wikilinks work from namespace docstrings:

• a var local to this namespace exercise7
• a different namespace cljdoc-exerciser.ns2
• a var in a different namespace cljdoc-exerciser.ns2/whatever

Wikilink syntax [[that does not resolve to any var or ns]] is not converted to a link, this includes any typos like [[cljdoc-exerciser.ns2/whatevs]] [[cljdoc-exorcisor.core]]

exercise1 clj/s

(exercise1 d e f)

Will someone ever link to me?

exercise2 clj/s

(exercise2)

A function docstring can contain CommonMark formatted text.

Lists

1. one
2. two
   • buckle
     • my
       • shoe

Blockquotes

A quote

a nested quote

a very nested quote

Paragraphs

If you want a paragraph to include a linebreak,
you can do that.

Tables

Tables are a CommonMark extension but supported by cljdoc

Left	Centered	Right
lets	peanut butter	100
fill	and	10
this	pickles	1

Code blocks

(defn exercise
  "A docstring can contain CommonMark formatted text."
  []
  (+ 4 5 6))

Links

An external link to the CommonMark website.

A docstring can reference resources on GitHub. You'll need to use a GitHub root relative link for this. Root relative links start with /. A root relative link has the following benefits:

• it will also work when users decide to download your cljdocs into an offline bundle
• does not specify project coords, making it GitHub fork friendly

Examples:

• an imported article will be shown on cljdoc
• another resource will link you to GitHub
• specifying a relative link results in error link

Wikilinks

Wikilinks are a cljdoc extension to CommonMark and allow you to link to API functions. They only work in docstrings:

• a var local to this namespace exercise1
• a different namespace cljdoc-exerciser.ns2
• a var in a different namespace cljdoc-exerciser.ns2/whatever

Wikilink syntax [[that does not resolve to any var or ns]] is not converted to a link, this includes any typos like [[cljdoc-exerciser.ns2/whatevs]] [[cljdoc-exorcisor.core]]

exercise3 clj/s

(exercise3 x y z)

Linking to images might be of interest.

Specify your images as root relative (starting with a /):

Otherwise they will result in errored references:

An external image should work fine too:

exercise4 clj/s

(exercise4 a b c)

Using headings in a docstring might be ridiculous, but you can do it.

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5

this is too much, I am heading home.

exercise5 cljs

(exercise5 j s)

This function is for ClojureScript only.

exercise6 clj

(exercise6 j v m)

This function is for Clojure only.

exercise7 clj/s

(exercise7)

How does a docstring handle embedded html?

It is not <b>bold</b> enough to render it.
