npm install -g hads
hads -oYour browser will open http://localhost:4040 and display your project documentation.

--help Show this help
If no root dir is specified, ./ will be used.
The server will automatically search for a file named index.md, readme.md or README.md on the specified
documentation root and will use it as your home page.
You can customize the CSS style in a file named custom.css.
The special text [[toc]] will be replaced by the table of contents of the markdown document, based on headings.
The special text [[index]] will be replaced by the full navigation index of all markdown files found under the
specified root dir. File and folder names will be humanized for better readability.
It is particularly useful on the home page to provide an overview of the available documentation for your project.
The sorting of each index level is as follows:
- Any README.md, readme.md, or index.md is always at the top.
- All files and folders that are prefixed with a number (e.g.
001-abcand002 mnoand003_xyz) are next, sorted by their respective prefix numbers. Note that the prefix numbers are stripped out in the index. - All remaining files, sorted by their name.
- All remaining folders, sorted by their name.
You can use the Mermaid syntax to insert diagrams and flowcharts directly in your
markdown, but using code blocks with the mermaid language specified, like this:
```mermaid
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
```
Mermaid configuration can be overridden on a given page using the global variable MERMAID_CONFIG in a <script> tag, for example:
<script>
MERMAID_CONFIG = { theme: 'forest' };
</script>See changelog here
