Design Page

Overview

This page is designed to assist MinIO UI/UX work on the documentation. Think of it like a ‘kitchen-sink’ of various objects and headers to more easily see what everything looks liker right now. If it’s on this page, it exists somewhere else in the documentation.

If you are not working on MinIO UI/UX, this page has no useful content. Head back to the Index.

Common Markup

Text Markup

This is italics text

This is bold text

This is monospaced text

This is hyperlink text

echo "This is a code block. It includes as small copy hover in the top-right."

echo "Syntax highlighting is automatic via pygments."

Containers

This text is in a container. Containers can be helpful for custom rendering of text. Add a custom class to the container to test the CSS:

.. container::

Sphinx Design

The following components come from sphinx-design

Tabs

MinIO uses the ExecutableBooks sphinx-design library for tabs.

Plain Text

This is plain text content

Text and Code

This is plain text content with code:

mc admin info ALIAS

You can keep tabs in sync. For example, if you have several procedures on a page that have Console and CLI tabs. Use the :sync: key1 option on teach tab-item. When someone selects a tab for one or the other, all of the other tabs available on the page with the same key change to that tab, too.

Console

This is plain text content

Command Line

This is plain text content with code:

mc admin info ALIAS

Header 1

This is content under a level 1 header. The header includes an anchor tag for linking. The table of contents for this page is configured to display up to 2 header levels. The header title should display in the right hand TOC.

Another Header

This is content inside the above header. This should be the same level as the previous header.

SubHeader

This is content subsectioned to the previous header. It should be one level down from the previous header.

Admonitions

The MinIO documentation uses the following admonition types. Admonition HTML code resembles the following:

<div class="admonition [warning|important|note|custom]>
   <p class="admonition-title"></p>
</div>

The additional class is set when defining the admonition and can be any arbitrary string. Sphinx has defaults around warning, note, and custom.

Note Admonition

The note admonition renders as the following:

Note

This text is in the note body. It includes some monospaced, bold, and italics.

This is a link to another page in the documentation.

This is a link to an external page.

You can set custom text for the note title:

Custom title with monospaced text

This text is in the note body. It includes some monospaced, bold, and italics.

This is a link to another page in the documentation.

This is a link to an external page.

To note a version change:

Changed in version RELEASE.2022-07-15T09-20-55Z: mc license register replaces the mc support register command.

Important Admonition

The important admonition renders as follows:

Important

This text is in the important body. It includes some monospaced, bold, and italics.

This is a link to another page in the documentation.

You can set custom text for the important title:

This is a link to another page in the documentation.

Lists

List Table

Sphinx has special markup for producing clean tables, vs ascii-style table definitions.

The following .. list-table has a single header row and multiple columns:

Row Title 1	Row Title 2	Row Title 3	Row Title 4
Column Item 1	Column Item 2	Column Item 3	Column Item 4
Column Item 1	Column Item 2	Column Item 3	Column Item 4
Column Item 1	Column Item 2	Column Item 3	Column Item 4

The following .. list-table uses a stub column, where the first column contains the “header” or title:

Row Title 1	Column Item 1	Column Item 2	Column Item 3
Row Title 2	Column Item 1	Column Item 2	Column Item 3
Row Title 3	Column Item 1	Column Item 2	Column Item 3
Row Title 4	Column Item 1	Column Item 2	Column Item 3

Bullets and Numbered Lists

This is a bullet list:

Item A
Item B
- Item B.1
- Item B.2
Item C
- Item C.1
- Item C.2
- Item C.3
  
  Item C.3.1
  
  Item C.3.2

This is a numbered list:

Item A
Item B

Item B.1

Item B.2

Item C

Item C.1

Item C.2

Item C.3

Item C.3.1

Item C.3.2

Definition Lists

Sphinx markup includes syntax for producing a Description List and various Description Details. These typically are not anchored, so their usefulness is somewhat limited. They can be a nice way of creating visually distinct lists for quick scrolling and view. They are used frequently in the reference documentation.

Description List Title 1

This is the description body for this title.

Another paragraph in this definition list

Description List Title 2

This is the description body for this title.

Another paragraph in this definition list

Description List Title 3

This is the description body for this title.

Another paragraph in this definition list

Reference Definition

Sphinx supports creating customized reference-type directives. We use several throughout the docs. The following section includes some example definitions. The initial table links to each definition.

foo
foo bar
foo bar baz
foo
foo.bar
--foo

There’s actually a top-level definition here for linking, but not for display. This is intentional (For now).

foo bar

Used for defining CLI commands.

bin: Used for defining various arguments to a CLI command

baz: Used for defining an option to a CLI command

foo

A generic bit of data we can reference.

foo.bar: These are nested and linked.

--foo

Used for defining global arguments for CLI commands.

Example:

:std:option:`--json <mc.--json>`
