typedoc-plugin-markdown

A plugin for TypeDoc that renders TypeScript API documentation as Markdown files. (By default, TypeDoc will render API documentation as a webpage, e.g. HTML files.)

What does it do?

The plugin replaces the default HTML theme with a built-in Markdown theme and exposes some additional options.

Useful if documentation is required to be included in project README files, Wikis and static site generators.

Installation

npm install --save-dev typedoc typedoc-plugin-markdown

Usage

Usage is the same as documented at TypeDoc.

typedoc --plugin typedoc-plugin-markdown --out docs src/index.ts

This plugin provides additional options beyond the normal options that are provided by TypeDoc, which are listed below. Note that any vanilla TypeDoc options that customize the HTML theme will be ignored.

• --hideBreadcrumbs<boolean> Do not render breadcrumbs in template header. Defaults to false.
• --hideInPageTOC<boolean> Do not render in-page table of contents items. Defaults to false.
