Create a new document

pCP Team 26 October 2020 pCP 6.1.0 Publishing

This is how you can create a new document for inclusion into piCorePlayer Documentation.

There are various options with the intention of making it easy to submit content to the piCorePlayer Documentation. You can start by submitting a “plain text file” right up to using Markdown with shortcodes and using Hugo to publish to a local server for checking.

Plain text #

This is the simplest way to do it.

A user:

  • Creates a plain text document using a text editor.
  • Submits the document as an attachment through the piCorePlayer Documentation thread—see piCorePlayer Documentation
    • Reply to thread
    • Attachments

The pCP Team will then:

  • Apply Markdown formatting.
  • Add front matter.
  • Do an edit pass.
  • Check on local server.
  • Push to production server.

Markdown #

If you are familiar with Markdown formatting then you can help us out by doing the formatting for us. Markdown is fairly basic so it is reasonably simple to master—see Markdown.

A user:

  • Creates a Markdown document using a text editor.
  • Submits the document as an attachment through the piCorePlayer Documentation thread—see piCorePlayer Documentation
    • Reply to thread
    • Attachments

The pCP Team will then:

  • Add front matter.
  • Do an edit pass.
  • Check on local server.
  • Push to production server.

Web page #

If you already have a web page, know of one, or prefer using your own HTML tools to produce content, then simply give us the URL. We can scrape the HTML to create a Markdown document.

A user:

  • Creates a page or blog using their normal tools.
  • Submits the URL through the piCorePlayer Documentation thread—see piCorePlayer Documentation
    • Reply to thread

The pCP Team will then:

  • Scrape HTML from the web page.
  • Convert HTML to Markdown.
  • Add front matter.
  • Do an edit pass.
  • Check on local server.
  • Push to production server.

Merge request #

Coming soon!

We intend to make the GitLab piCorePlayer Documentation repository public, so you if you are a git user you will be able to do “merge request”.
