Markdown Extensions
This documentation comes with several markdown extensions that allow interactive elements and data pulled from the schema.
Schema Integration
schema_string
Using a reference to a value in the JSON schema (without $defs) will embed that string
into the markdown text.
Example:
{schema_string:shapes/graphic-element/description}
Output:
Element used to display vector daya in a shape layer
link
Links to the relevant section in the specs.
Example:
{link:shapes/ellipse}
Output:
schema_link
Link to the relevant section in the formatted schema.
Example:
{schema_link:shapes/ellipse}
Output:
schema_subtype_table
Used to list all the ty values for Layer / Shape etc.
Example:
{schema_subtype_table:layers/all-layers:ty}
Output:
ty |
Type |
|---|---|
0 |
Precomposition Layer |
2 |
Image Layer |
3 |
Null Layer |
1 |
Solid Layer |
4 |
Shape Layer |
schema_object
Embeds a property table from the schema.
Example:
{schema_object:shapes/ellipse}
Output:
Composition Diagram for Ellipse
| Attribute | Type | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
nm |
string |
Name |
Name, as seen from editors and the like |
hd |
boolean |
Hidden |
Whether the shape is hidden |
ty |
string = 'el' |
Shape Type |
Shape Type |
d |
Shape Direction |
Direction |
Direction the shape is drawn as, mostly relevant when using trim path |
p |
Position |
Position |
Position |
s |
Vector |
Size |
Size |
schema_enum
Same as schema_object but for enumerations.
Example:
{schema_enum:fill-rule}
Output:
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 |
Non Zero | Everything is colored (You can think of this as an OR) |
2 |
Even Odd | Colored based on intersections and path direction, can be used to create "holes" |
schema_inheritance
Shows the inheritance diagram for an object type.
Example:
{schema_inheritance:shapes/ellipse}
Output:
json_file
Embed a JSON file into markdown, including syntax highlighting and reference links for JSON schema.
Example:
{json_file:lottie.schema.json}
Lottie Player
<lottie>
Embeds a lottie into the document
Example:
<lottie
src="static/logo.json"
width="200"
background="white"
/>
Output:
lottie-playground
Embeds a player side by side to a JSON snipped and controls to tweak the animation
Example:
<lottie-playground example="rectangle.json">
<title>Example</title>
<form>
<input title="Position x" type="range" min="0" max="512" value="256"/>
<input title="Position y" type="range" min="0" max="512" value="256"/>
<input title="Width" type="range" min="0" max="512" value="256"/>
<input title="Height" type="range" min="0" max="512" value="256"/>
<input title="Roundness" type="range" min="0" max="512" value="0"/>
</form>
<json>lottie.layers[0].shapes[0].it[0]</json>
<script>
lottie.layers[0].shapes[0].it[0].p.k = [
data["Position x"], data["Position y"]
];
lottie.layers[0].shapes[0].it[0].s.k = [
data["Width"], data["Height"]
];
lottie.layers[0].shapes[0].it[0].r.k = data["Roundness"];
</script>
</lottie-playground>
Output:
Example
| 256 | |
| 256 | |
| 256 | |
| 256 | |
| 0 |
Miscellaneous
[RFC]
Links to a IETF RFC.
Example:
[RFC9402]
Output:
[RFC9402]
BCP14
Automatically highlights keywords from BCP 14 ([RFC2119] [RFC8174]).
Example:
MUST
Output:
MUST
Math Input
You can embed math mode code.
Example:
Normal text with inline $\LaTeX$: $\frac{1}{x}$.
$$\sum\limits_{i=1}^n{n\choose i}t^i(1-t)^{n-1}P_i$$
Output:
Normal text with inline : .
