Documentation Header Spec

    Introduction

    With the growth of documentation on MCP, we need to reinforce the classification of documentation to make it easier to organize and discover information.  With this in mind I'd like to have a header at the top of all documentation that call out key points of the article like version of MindTouch it applies to etc (More defined below).  The header will provide a visual cue for the readers that will qualify the documentation more. 

    Intended Audience

    All users of MindTouch.

    Additional information

    Initially this header will only be applied to the knowledge base and then possibly expanded to the User Manual.

    Status

    Initial implementation created. Waiting for feedback from the dev team.

    Functional Specification

    The header will be at the top of all documentation articles

     

    Use Cases

    Here are the questions that this header will be able to answer for users navigating documentation:

    • Is this documentation deprecated?
      • @coregy Should users be directed to a more updated document if applicable?
    • Does it only apply to Commercial installs?
    • What Operating Systems is it relevant for?
    • Is this documentation certified by MindTouch Staff? This will dictate more of the supported documentation
    • What topics does this documentation cover?

    Technical Specification

    UI requirements

    Need to format the header to match the Developer skin along with adding additional visual elements tied to conditional meta data

    i.e. if the documentation is MindTouch Certified then a badge/logo will be shown that confirms it is MindTouch Certified otherwise the badge will not be shown

    Maybe have a visual change if the documentation only applies to Commercial installations

    API requirements

    NA
