Pages to be included in the documentation
By default, Github Wikito Converter will check for the following files to use as a table of contents (TOC):
_Toc.md
_Sidebar.md
(which is the default sidebar file on Github wikis)
When finding a TOC, gwtc will only generate pages linked from this TOC. Supported link formats are:
- Markdown links with local path
[Call Log](Call-Log)
/[Log](Call-Log.md)
/[Calls](/Call-Log.md)
; - Markdown links with remote (http/https) path
[Calls](https://github.com/yourrepo/someproject/wiki/Call-Log)
. Only those links that are placed in TOC will be converted to local page ids; - Github wiki links
[[Call Log]]
/[[Call-Log]]
/[[Call Log|Call-Log]]
/[[Log|Call Log]]
.
Inlining
By default, the HTML output format will generate a single-page HTML document of you wiki, with all assets inlined, such as images, css, and javascript. So all you need to transfer documentation (to a colleague for example) is to send him/her this unique file.
You can disable this inlining feature by passing --disable-inline-assets
(or -d
) such as several files will be
generated for each of images, css and javascript files.
Table of contents (TOC)
The TOC is rendered using a fixed div in the HTML documentation. You can use --toc-level
to prevent the TOC div
to overlap the body
element.
Rendering
PDF rendering is done using wkhtmltopdf
which should be available in your PATH
.
It simply renders (more or less) the HTML version of your doc in PDF.
Page breaking
By default all TOC pages starts from a new page. Also with default css
you will never see your code block or image
broken in two pages. To add additional page breaking use style="page-break-before: always !important;
with empty div
element.

Interceptors are a powerful mechanism that can monitor, rewrite, and retry calls. Here's a simple interceptor that logs the outgoing request and the incoming response.
