SaltStack Get Started Guide Source

This repository contains the content source files for the SaltStack Get Started Guide.

Contributions to fix typos and other errors are welcome.

Source File Format

The source files are in Pandoc's Markdown with the markdown+pipe_tables & backtick_code_blocks extensions enabled.

Code samples that contain Jinja must be wrapped in Jinja {% raw %} and {% endraw %} statements since the source files are sent though Jinja when the site is generated.

Preview

There are many tools that can generate a preview from markdown so you can verify formatting, URLs, and so on. If you have pandoc installed, you can quickly generate HTML using a command similar to:

pandoc *.md > out.html

YAML Frontmatter

The YAML frontmatter and processing directives can be safely ignored (processing directives are contained within {: :}). A few topics contain variables with content for modal windows in the front matter, so there is occasionally a need to make updates here.
