Documentation

The !docs keyword can be used to attach Markdown/AsciiDoc documentation to the parent context (either the workspace, a software system, or a container).

!docs <path> [fully qualified class name]

The path must be a relative path, located within the same directory as the parent file, or a subdirectory of it. For example:

!docs subdirectory

By default, the com.structurizr.importer.documentation.DefaultDocumentationImporter class will be used to import documentation as follows:

  • All Markdown and AsciiDoc files in the given directory will be imported, alphabetically according to the filename.
  • All images in the given directory (and sub-directories) are also imported into the workspace.
  • See Structurizr - Documentation - Headings and sections for details about how section headings and numbering are handled.

The above behaviour can be customised by specifying the fully qualified class name of your own implementation of DocumentationImporter, which needs to be on the DSL classpath or installed as a JAR file in the plugins directory next to your DSL file.
