How to

Add a new document

• All pages in the documentation are markdown (.mdx) files with a frontmatter block on the top. The frontmatter block defines the title and (optionally) a subtitle and/or banner for the page.
• When creating a new document, also create a corresponding entry in meta.json to define the category and position of the document's link in the navigation list.

Notes

• Search is powered by DocSearch. The PlanetScale configuration on DocSearch can be viewed here
• Sitemap is only generated during a build and is not checked in to the repo.
