Markdown Options

Ever wanted to display all of the mods or plugins your server has? Using mcman you can do that!

If you havent added it, add your markdown file's name (README.md for example) into the markdown.files list. When the mcman markdown command is run, mcman will render every template in the listed files.

Fields:

Name Type Description
files string[] List of filenames to 'render'
auto_update bool If set to true, markdown files will be rendered on commands that modify server.toml
server.toml
[markdown]
files = [
  "README.md",
  "PLUGINS.md",
]
auto_update = false

Warning

If auto_update = true, commands might take longer. We recommend you dont turn it on until you're done adding most of the mods/plugins.

Markdown Templates

These are the templates mcman will render inside your markdown files. When mcman markdown runs, the files specified in server.toml will be read and the templates below will be updated with the rendered markdown code. You can have as many markdown files or templates as you want.
