Overview

Paradox is a Markdown documentation tool for sbt projects. It takes a directory tree of markdown files and generates a static documentation site.

It has several features that help to structure and build documentation sites easily.

  • Supports GitHub flavored Markdown
  • Pages can be organized structured hierarchically. A sidebar with an index or an in-page table of contents can be generated.
  • Directives provide additional features over Markdown and allow custom extensions in a principled way
  • Variable substitution allows configuring values from your sbt project to be used in the documentation
  • Groups allow to create variants of the documentation where parts of pages are only shown when a group is selected e.g. for switching between Scala and Java versions of documentation, snippets, etc.
  • Various customization options allow tailoring Paradox’ output to your needs. For example, Themes allow customizing the appearance of Paradox-generated documentation. Custom directives and themes can be packaged and published as separate sbt plugin extensions.
  • Validation allows further validation of documentation not available at compile time.
