Authoring documentation

Write ordinary Markdown for ordinary content and use DocsPress blocks where documentation needs richer semantics such as commands, results, API exchanges, or reusable prompts.

Authoring contract

• Put the documentation root at docs/index.md.
• Use folder index.md files for intentional section landing pages.
• Add frontmatter title and begin body sections at ## when the DocsPress theme renders the Page title.
• Link pages with relative Markdown paths; DocsPress rewrites known documentation routes by default.
• Use real, verified examples with fake credentials and non-production identifiers.
• Keep serialized wp:docspress/* comments as valid compact JSON.

Learn the formats

• Page structure and routes explains filenames, titles, parent Pages, links, manifests, and edit links.
• Markdown and Gutenberg maps Markdown features and explains when to choose each DocsPress block.
• DocsPress block reference lists exact attributes and allowed values.
• Kitchen Sink exercises every custom block and semantic state.
