Vendor Agnostic

No matter how much we ❤️ Docusaurus, we realize it will not be the right solution for everyone as users might:

  • Prefer different (non-javascript) languages
  • Need to maintain an existing solution
  • Simply not like the green lizard

TL;DR​

I want the markdown produced by this module but I do not want to use Docusaurus.

New-DocusaurusHelp -Module "YourModule" -VendorAgnostic

How Does It Work?​

By passing the -VendorAgnostic switch parameter this module will generate the exact same markdown as always but will skip two Docusaurs-specific steps during the process:

  1. Front matter
  2. Docusaurus sidebar file

Front Matter​

The PlatyPS generated markdown front matter:

  • Will not be touched
  • Will need to updated/replaced (by you) to fit your needs
  • Will look similar to the example below

Docusaurus Sidebar File​

The Docusaurus-specific docusaurus.sidebar.js file will not be generated.

If your solution/vendor requires a similar list you will need to generate one yourself, perhaps using the NewSideBarIncludeFile function for inspiration.
