# Documentation Website Files and Assets
|
|
|
|
This directory contains extra files for modifying the look and functionality of
|
|
[mdbook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook), the documentation software that's
|
|
used to generate Synapse's documentation website.
|
|
|
|
The configuration options in the `output.html` section of [book.toml](../../book.toml)
|
|
point to additional JS/CSS in this directory that are added on each page load. In
|
|
addition, the `theme` directory contains files that overwrite their counterparts in
|
|
each of the default themes included with mdbook.
|
|
|
|
Currently we use these files to generate a floating Table of Contents panel. The code for
|
|
which was partially taken from
|
|
[JorelAli/mdBook-pagetoc](https://github.com/JorelAli/mdBook-pagetoc/)
|
|
before being modified such that it scrolls with the content of the page. This is handled
|
|
by the `table-of-contents.js/css` files. The table of contents panel only appears on pages
|
|
that have more than one header, as well as only appearing on desktop-sized monitors.
|
|
|
|
We remove the navigation arrows which typically appear on the left and right side of the
|
|
screen on desktop as they interfere with the table of contents. This is handled by
|
|
the `remove-nav-buttons.css` file.
|
|
|
|
Finally, we also stylise the chapter titles in the left sidebar by indenting them
|
|
slightly so that they are more visually distinguishable from the section headers
|
|
(the bold titles). This is done through the `indent-section-headers.css` file.
|
|
|
|
