## π MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)
Docsector Reader can automatically generate an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server at `/mcp` during build, allowing AI assistants like Claude to search and read your documentation in real time.
### Enable MCP
Add `mcp` to your `docsector.config.js`:
```javascript
export default {
// ... other config ...
mcp: {
serverName: 'my-docs', // MCP server identifier
toolSuffix: 'my_docs' // Tool name suffix (e.g. search_my_docs)
},
siteUrl: 'https://my-docs.example.com' // Required for MCP URLs
}
```
### What the build generates
When `mcp` is configured, `docsector build` generates:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `dist/spa/mcp-pages.json` | Page index (title, path, book) for search |
| `functions/mcp.js` | Cloudflare Pages Function implementing MCP |
| `dist/spa/_routes.json` | Routes `/mcp` to the function |
| `dist/spa/_headers` | CORS headers for MCP endpoint |
### Exposed tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `search_{suffix}` | Search documentation by keyword, returns matching pages |
| `get_page_{suffix}` | Get full Markdown content of a specific page |
### Test locally
```bash
npx docsector build
npx wrangler pages dev dist/spa
# In another terminal:
curl http://localhost:8788/mcp
curl -X POST http://localhost:8788/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
```
### Configure in AI assistants
**VS Code** (`mcp.json`):
```json
{
"servers": {
"my-docs": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://my-docs.example.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
**Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-docs": {
"type": "url",
"url": "https://my-docs.example.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
---
## πͺͺ MCP Server Card Discovery
Docsector Reader can publish an MCP Server Card at:
- `/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json`
This supports pre-connection MCP discovery, exposing:
- `serverInfo` (`name`, `version`)
- MCP transport endpoint (defaults to `/mcp`)
- `capabilities` for tools/resources/prompts
When MCP is enabled, tool capabilities are derived from the generated server:
- `search_{toolSuffix}`
- `get_page_{toolSuffix}`
### Configure
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
mcp: {
serverName: 'my-docs',
toolSuffix: 'my_docs'
},
mcpServerCard: {
enabled: true,
path: '/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json',
transportEndpoint: '/mcp',
transportType: 'streamable-http',
protocolVersion: '2025-03-26',
capabilities: {
tools: { supported: true },
resources: { supported: false },
prompts: { supported: false }
}
}
}
```
### Validate
```bash
npx docsector build
cat dist/spa/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
cat dist/spa/_headers
```
External validation:
```bash
curl -X POST https://isitagentready.com/api/scan \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://YOUR-SITE.com"}'
```
Check `checks.discovery.mcpServerCard.status` equals `"pass"`.
---
## π WebMCP Browser Tools
Docsector Reader can register browser-side tools for agents when
`navigator.modelContext` is available (secure context required).
Default tools:
- `docs.search_docs` (bridges to MCP `search_{toolSuffix}`)
- `docs.get_page` (bridges to MCP `get_page_{toolSuffix}`)
- `docs.navigate_to` (SPA navigation)
- `docs.copy_current_page` (current page markdown URL/content)
### WebMCP Configure
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
mcp: {
serverName: 'my-docs',
toolSuffix: 'my_docs'
},
webMcp: {
enabled: true,
apiMode: 'dual', // 'registerTool' | 'dual'
toolPrefix: 'docs',
bridgeEndpoint: '/mcp',
bridgeToMcp: true,
tools: {
searchDocs: true,
getPage: true,
navigateTo: true,
copyCurrentPage: true
}
}
}
```
Notes:
- `apiMode: 'registerTool'` uses only `navigator.modelContext.registerTool()`.
- `apiMode: 'dual'` also attempts `provideContext` fallback when available.
- Registration happens on page load and is automatically cleaned up on unmount.
### WebMCP Validate
```bash
curl -X POST https://isitagentready.com/api/scan \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://YOUR-SITE.com"}'
```
Check `checks.discovery.webMcp.status` equals `"pass"`.
---
## π€ AI Assistant Panel
Docsector Reader can add an opt-in assistant panel for documentation Q&A. Users open it from the global header while reading pages and subpages; it is not a dedicated documentation route. The drawer posts to a same-origin Cloudflare Pages Function, and that function calls Cloudflare AI Search so secrets, rate-limit strategy, provider errors, and future auth stay server-side.
The panel is disabled by default. When enabled, desktop pages get a dedicated right-side assistant rail that can sit beside the table of contents on wide screens. Mobile uses a fullscreen dialog. Conversations restore at the latest message, reveal earlier history progressively in long chats, deduplicate repeated source links, preserve the panel open state across page reloads, and provide per-message copy actions.
### Configure
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
siteUrl: 'https://my-docs.example.com',
aiAssistant: {
enabled: true,
provider: 'aiSearch',
endpoint: '/assistant',
ui: {
title: 'Docs Assistant',
drawerWidth: 380,
wideBreakpoint: 1280,
showCitations: true,
suggestedPrompts: [
'How do I get started?',
'Summarize this page.',
'Where is the related API reference?'
]
},
aiSearch: {
binding: 'AI_SEARCH',
instanceNameEnv: 'AI_SEARCH_INSTANCE_NAME',
accountIdEnv: 'CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID',
apiTokenEnv: 'CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN',
model: '@cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast',
retrievalType: 'hybrid',
maxResults: 6,
matchThreshold: 0.4,
contextExpansion: 1,
queryRewrite: { enabled: true },
reranking: { enabled: false },
stream: true
}
}
}
```
### Cloudflare setup
Use Cloudflare AI Search as the first provider path:
- Create an AI Search instance in Cloudflare.
- Build and deploy the Docsector site first; build output always publishes `/sitemap.xml` and adds `Sitemap: /sitemap.xml` to `robots.txt` for crawler discovery.
- Use a Website data source. For the cleanest retrieval, point its specific sitemap to `/ai-search-sitemap.xml`; otherwise the crawler can discover `/sitemap.xml` from `robots.txt`.
- Add metadata fields such as title, path, locale, book, version, and subpage if you want filtering later.
- Set `AI_SEARCH_INSTANCE_NAME` as a Cloudflare Pages environment variable or local `.dev.vars` entry.
- Bind the instance to Pages as `AI_SEARCH` when available, or set encrypted Pages secrets for `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` and `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` with AI Search run access.
- Keep AI Search public endpoints optional; the built-in UI uses the configured internal endpoint by default.
### Build output
When enabled, `docsector build` can generate:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `functions/assistant.js` | Cloudflare Pages Function for browser assistant requests |
| `dist/spa/sitemap.xml` | Default crawler sitemap advertised from `robots.txt` |
| `dist/spa/robots.txt` | Crawler policy with `Sitemap: /sitemap.xml` |
| `dist/spa/ai-search-sitemap.xml` | Markdown-focused sitemap for AI Search crawling |
| `dist/spa/.well-known/ai-search/manifest.json` | Source metadata for indexed documentation pages |
| `dist/spa/_routes.json` | Routes the internal assistant endpoint to the Pages Function |
### Validate
```bash
npx docsector build
cat dist/spa/sitemap.xml
cat dist/spa/robots.txt
cat dist/spa/ai-search-sitemap.xml
cat dist/spa/.well-known/ai-search/manifest.json
npx wrangler pages dev dist/spa
```
Workers AI, AI Search, and remote bindings can incur Cloudflare usage during local development.
### Environment variables quick guide
Docsector now ships `.env.example` so teams can standardize Cloudflare variables.
Use the right place for each environment:
- Cloudflare Pages production/preview: set vars in Pages settings (recommended).
- Local `wrangler pages dev`: use `.dev.vars` for Function runtime variables.
- Local Node-based tools: `.env` works when your runner actually loads it.
Minimum variables when not using direct AI Search binding:
```bash
AI_SEARCH_INSTANCE_NAME=...
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=...
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=...
```
If you bind AI Search as `AI_SEARCH`, the Assistant tries binding first and uses REST fallback when binding is not available.
---
## οΏ½ llms.txt (LLM Discovery)
Docsector Reader automatically generates [llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org) files at build time when `siteUrl` is configured. `sitemap.xml` is generated even without `siteUrl`; `llms.txt` keeps the `siteUrl` requirement because it contains absolute Markdown links.
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `/llms.txt` | Markdown index of all pages with links to `.md` versions, grouped by type |
| `/llms-full.txt` | Full documentation content concatenated in a single file for LLM context |
Optionally add a `description` to your branding for a richer `llms.txt` blockquote:
```javascript
export default {
branding: {
name: 'My Project',
version: 'v1.0.0',
description: 'A framework for building awesome things'
},
siteUrl: 'https://my-docs.example.com'
}
```
---
## π Link Headers (Agent Discovery)
Docsector Reader adds homepage `Link` response headers at build time for agent discovery, following [RFC 8288](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8288) and [RFC 9727](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9727#section-3).
Default relations emitted on homepage (`/` and `/index.html`):
- `rel="api-catalog"` β ``
- `rel="service-doc"` β `>`
- `rel="service-desc"` β `` (only when `mcp` is enabled)
- `rel="describedby"` β `` (only when `siteUrl` is configured, i.e. `llms.txt` is generated)
Generated in:
- `dist/spa/_headers`
- `dist/spa/.well-known/api-catalog` (Linkset JSON)
### Optional configuration
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
linkHeaders: {
enabled: true,
apiCatalog: '/.well-known/api-catalog',
serviceDoc: '/',
serviceDesc: '/mcp',
describedBy: '/llms.txt'
},
apiCatalog: {
enabled: true,
path: '/.well-known/api-catalog',
items: [
'/mcp',
'https://api.example.com/openapi.json'
]
}
}
```
Set any target to `null` or `false` to disable that relation.
---
## π Remote README as Home
You can configure Docsector Reader to use a remote README as homepage content.
- Fetch happens at build-time.
- The same README content is used for all configured languages.
- When the remote README resolves successfully, Docsector hides the autogenerated homepage title and uses the README's own primary heading in the rendered content.
- If fetch fails, it falls back to local `src/pages/Homepage.{lang}.md` by default and keeps the usual autogenerated homepage title.
- Standard GitHub-style heading links and README Table of Contents fragments keep working in the rendered homepage.
### Configure
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
homePage: {
source: 'remote-readme',
remoteReadmeUrl: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/your-org/your-repo/main/README.md',
timeoutMs: 8000,
fallbackToLocal: true
}
}
```
### Validate
```bash
npx docsector build
cat dist/spa/homepage.md
cat dist/spa/homepage.en-US.md
```
---
## π Web Bot Auth
Docsector Reader can publish a signed Web Bot Auth directory at:
- `/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory`
This response is served by Cloudflare Pages runtime middleware and includes:
- `Content-Type: application/http-message-signatures-directory+json`
- `Signature`
- `Signature-Input`
### Configure directory publishing
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
webBotAuth: {
enabled: true,
directoryPath: '/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory',
jwksEnv: 'WEB_BOT_AUTH_JWKS',
privateJwkEnv: 'WEB_BOT_AUTH_PRIVATE_JWK',
keyIdEnv: 'WEB_BOT_AUTH_KEY_ID',
keyId: null,
signatureMaxAge: 300,
signatureLabel: 'sig1'
}
}
```
Required runtime variables (Cloudflare Pages / Workers environment):
- `WEB_BOT_AUTH_JWKS`: JSON string with a valid JWKS payload (`{ "keys": [...] }`)
- `WEB_BOT_AUTH_PRIVATE_JWK`: JSON string for an Ed25519 private JWK used to sign directory responses
- `WEB_BOT_AUTH_KEY_ID`: optional key id override (thumbprint or `kid`)
### Sign outbound bot requests
Use the helper export:
```javascript
import { createWebBotAuthHeaders } from '@docsector/docsector-reader/web-bot-auth'
const signed = await createWebBotAuthHeaders({
url: 'https://crawltest.com/cdn-cgi/web-bot-auth',
privateJwk,
keyId: 'your-jwk-thumbprint',
signatureAgent: 'https://docs.example.com/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory'
})
```
Attach returned headers to your outbound request (`Signature-Agent`, `Signature-Input`, `Signature`).
### Validate
```bash
npx docsector build
cat dist/spa/_headers
cat dist/spa/.well-known/api-catalog
```
Or scan discoverability:
```bash
curl -X POST https://isitagentready.com/api/scan \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://YOUR-SITE.com"}'
```
Check `checks.discoverability.linkHeaders.status` equals `"pass"`.
---
## π§ Content Signals
Docsector Reader can declare AI usage preferences in `robots.txt` via `Content-Signal`.
When enabled, build output ensures a deterministic directive format:
- `Content-Signal: ai-train=..., search=..., ai-input=...`
### Configure
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
contentSignals: {
enabled: true,
aiTrain: 'yes',
search: 'yes',
aiInput: 'yes',
userAgent: '*',
applyToAllBlocks: false
}
}
```
Notes:
- `aiTrain`, `search`, and `aiInput` accept `yes` / `no` (or booleans).
- Default scope is only `User-agent: *`.
- Build patch is idempotent: repeated builds do not duplicate `Content-Signal` lines.
- Build also keeps `Sitemap: /sitemap.xml` discoverable in `robots.txt` so crawlers can find the generated sitemap automatically.
### Validate
```bash
npx docsector build
cat dist/spa/robots.txt
```
Optional external validation:
```bash
curl -X POST https://isitagentready.com/api/scan \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://YOUR-SITE.com"}'
```
Check `checks.botAccessControl.contentSignals.status` equals `"pass"`.
---
## π§© Agent Skills Discovery Index
Docsector Reader can publish a discovery index at:
- `/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json`
The generated payload follows Agent Skills Discovery RFC v0.2.0 and includes:
- `$schema`
- `skills[]` entries with `name`, `type`, `description`, `url`, `digest`
This repository publishes the built-in Docsector authoring skill at:
- `/.well-known/agent-skills/docsector-documentation-authoring/SKILL.md`
The skill teaches agents Docsector Markdown authoring, all documented blocks, page/source conventions, MCP lookup, and WebMCP browser tools.
For projects scaffolded before the built-in skill existed, run:
```bash
npx docsector install-skill
```
The helper copies the skill into `.github/skills/` for repository-local assistants and into `public/.well-known/agent-skills/` for published discovery. Existing folders are skipped unless `--force` is passed.
When `digest` is omitted in config, Docsector computes it automatically from the referenced local artifact and writes it as:
- `sha256:{hex}`
### Configure
```javascript
export default {
// ...other config
agentSkills: {
enabled: true,
path: '/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json',
schema: 'https://schemas.agentskills.io/discovery/0.2.0/schema.json',
skills: [
{
name: 'docsector-documentation-authoring',
type: 'skill-md',
description: 'Author Docsector documentation with Markdown, custom blocks, MCP, and WebMCP.',
url: '/.well-known/agent-skills/docsector-documentation-authoring/SKILL.md'
}
]
}
}
```
Notes:
- `name` must be lowercase alphanumeric plus hyphens.
- `type` must be `skill-md` or `archive`.
- `url` should point to a locally published artifact when auto-digest is used.
### Validate
```bash
npx docsector build
cat dist/spa/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json
```
External validation:
```bash
curl -X POST https://isitagentready.com/api/scan \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url":"https://YOUR-SITE.com"}'
```
Check `checks.discovery.agentSkills.status` equals `"pass"`.

## π Architecture β Library Mode
Docsector Reader works as a **rendering engine**: it provides the layout, components, router, store, and boot files. Consumer projects supply only their **content** (pages, i18n, config, assets).

### Consumer `quasar.config.js`
The consumer's Quasar config is a thin wrapper around the factory:
```javascript
import { configure, createQuasarConfig } from '@docsector/docsector-reader/quasar-factory'
export default configure(() => {
return createQuasarConfig({
projectRoot: import.meta.dirname,
// Optional: consumer-specific boot files (resolved from src/boot/)
boot: ['qmediaplayer'],
// Optional: PWA manifest overrides
pwa: {
name: 'My Docs',
short_name: 'Docs',
theme_color: '#027be3'
},
// Optional: extra Vite plugins
vitePlugins: [],
// Optional: extend Vite config further
extendViteConf (viteConf) {
// custom aliases, plugins, etc.
}
})
})
```
### How aliases work
| Alias | Standalone | Consumer mode |
|---|---|---|
| `components` | project `src/components/` | package `src/components/` |
| `layouts` | project `src/layouts/` | package `src/layouts/` |
| `boot` | project `src/boot/` | package `src/boot/` |
| `composables` | project `src/composables/` | package `src/composables/` |
| `css` | project `src/css/` | package `src/css/` |
| `stores` | project `src/store/` | package `src/store/` |
| `pages` | project `src/pages/` | consumer `src/pages/` |
| `src/i18n` | project `src/i18n/` | consumer `src/i18n/` |
| `docsector.config.js` | project root | consumer root |

```
The current version keeps the normal unprefixed routes such as `/guide/getting-started/overview/`. Archived major versions can be placed under `src/pages/.old//` with the same book/index/Markdown layout, and are exposed with a URL prefix such as `/v0.x/guide/getting-started/overview/`.
Every version shows a release badge in the selector. Released versions default to `released`; versions with `released: false` or `status: 'draft'` default to `draft`; versions with `status: 'deprecated'` or `deprecated: true` default to `deprecated` in red. Use `badge: { label, color, textColor }` when you need custom badge copy or colors.
### MCP (optional)
```javascript
// Enable MCP server at /mcp
mcp: {
serverName: 'my-project', // Server identifier
toolSuffix: 'my_project' // Tool name suffix
}
```
---
## π Internationalization
### i18n setup (`src/i18n/index.js`)
Consumer projects use the `buildMessages` helper from the engine:
```javascript
import { buildMessages } from '@docsector/docsector-reader/i18n'
import homePageOverride from 'virtual:docsector-homepage-override'
const langModules = import.meta.glob('./languages/*.hjson', { eager: true })
const currentMdModules = import.meta.glob('../pages/**/*.md', { eager: true, query: '?raw', import: 'default' })
const oldMdModules = import.meta.glob('../pages/.old/**/*.md', { eager: true, query: '?raw', import: 'default' })
const mdModules = { ...currentMdModules, ...oldMdModules }
import boot from 'pages/boot'
import { books, pageEntries } from 'virtual:docsector-books'
export default buildMessages({ langModules, mdModules, books, pageEntries, boot, homePageOverride })
```
> `pageEntries` is the preferred source because it preserves per-book and per-version registries and avoids path collisions when books or archived versions reuse the same route key.
### Language files
Place HJSON locale files in `src/i18n/languages/`:
```
src/i18n/languages/en-US.hjson
src/i18n/languages/pt-BR.hjson
```
### Search tags (`src/pages/*.index.js`)
Define search keywords per page using `metadata.tags` in each book registry file:
```javascript
export default {
'/my-section/my-page': {
config: {
icon: 'description',
book: 'manual',
status: 'done',
subpages: { showcase: false }
},
data: {
'en-US': { title: 'My Page' },
'pt-BR': { title: 'Minha PΓ‘gina' }
},
metadata: {
tags: {
'en-US': 'keyword1 keyword2 keyword3',
'pt-BR': 'palavra1 palavra2 palavra3'
}
}
}
}
```

```
A common manual pattern is to keep core UI references under `src/pages/manual/basic/` with user-friendly page titles and focused entry pages such as Search, Branding, Version Switcher, Edit on GitHub, Translation Progress, and Previous & Next, end-user content references under `src/pages/manual/content/blocks/`, structural docs under `src/pages/manual/content/structures/`, and legacy/internal engine-specific references under `src/pages/manual/components/`.
Blocks in `src/pages/manual/content/blocks/` should normally provide both `overview` and `showcase` markdown pages, while structural topics can stay overview-only when a visual demo adds little value.
---
## π Defining Books (Tabs)
Each documentation tab is defined by a `*.book.js` file paired with a matching `*.index.js` registry.
```javascript
import { defineBook } from '@docsector/docsector-reader'
export default defineBook({
id: 'guide',
label: 'Guide',
icon: 'school',
order: 2,
color: {
active: 'white',
inactive: 'secondary'
}
})
```
Declare menu search tags in each page entry under `metadata.tags`:
```javascript
export default {
'/getting-started': {
config: {
icon: 'flag',
book: 'guide',
status: 'done',
subpages: { showcase: false }
},
data: {
'en-US': { title: 'Getting Started' },
'pt-BR': { title: 'ComeΓ§ando' }
},
metadata: {
tags: {
'en-US': 'install setup start begin quick project structure',
'pt-BR': 'instalar configurar iniciar comeΓ§ar rΓ‘pido projeto estrutura'
}
}
}
}
```
Notes:
- `color.active` and `color.inactive` control the tab text color for each state.
- Color values accept Quasar tokens (`secondary`, `red-6`), CSS variables (`--brand-color` or `var(--brand-color)`), and plain CSS colors (`white`, `#fff`, `rgb(...)`).
- Legacy `color: 'secondary'` still works, but the object form is the recommended API.
- Tabs are ordered by `order`.
---
## π Adding Pages
1οΈβ£ Register in `src/pages/manual.index.js` (or `src/pages/guide.index.js`):
```javascript
import { definePage } from '@docsector/docsector-reader'
export default {
'/my-section/my-page': definePage({
config: {
icon: 'description',
status: 'new', // 'done' | 'draft' | 'empty' | 'new'
version: 'v2.1.0', // Optional: shown as "New in" / "Novo em"
menu: {
header: { label: '.my-section', icon: 'category' }
},
subpages: { showcase: false, vs: false }
},
data: {
'en-US': { title: 'My Page' },
'pt-BR': { title: 'Minha PΓ‘gina' }
}
})
}
```
Notes:
- In `manual.index.js`, route keys are relative to the `manual` book (for example `'/my-section/my-page'` becomes `/manual/my-section/my-page/...`).
- You only need to set `config.book` when overriding the inferred book from the registry file.
- When `showcase` or `vs` are enabled, the subpage toolbar aligns with the content width on desktop and becomes a bottom action bar on mobile.
2οΈβ£ Create Markdown files:
```
src/pages/manual/my-section/my-page.overview.en-US.md
src/pages/manual/my-section/my-page.overview.pt-BR.md
```
### Internal Links / Menu Shortcuts
Use `config.link.to` when an entry should appear in menus but redirect immediately to another internal page.
```javascript
import { definePage } from '@docsector/docsector-reader'
export default {
'/getting-started': definePage({
config: {
link: {
to: '/guide/getting-started/overview/'
}
},
data: {
'en-US': { title: 'Getting started' },
'pt-BR': { title: 'ComeΓ§ando' }
}
})
}
```
Notes:
- For shortcut pages, `link.to` and `data` are enough.
- `icon` and `status` automatically fall back to the destination page when omitted.
- Internal links redirect directly to the target route instead of rendering `overview` / `showcase` / `vs` locally.
### GitHub-Style Alert Example
```markdown
> [!CAUTION]
> NOTICE OF BREAKING CHANGE.
>
> As of 7.0.0, multiple breaking changes were introduced into the library.
>
> Please review the migration guide before updating.
```
Supported alert types: `NOTE`, `TIP`, `IMPORTANT`, `WARNING`, `CAUTION`.
Regular blockquotes without `[!TYPE]` continue to work normally.
### Code Example Blocks
```html
Optional caption rendered as inline Markdown.
```
Notes:
- Store live examples as Vue SFCs under `src/examples/**/*.vue`; for example, `src="manual/code-examples/basic-counter"` resolves `src/examples/manual/code-examples/BasicCounter.vue` after kebab-case normalization.
- Readers get a live preview, a GitHub button for the example SFC, a source button with Template / Script / Style / All tabs, and a CodePen button when the example can be exported safely.
- Use `expanded="true"` only when the source code should be visible by default.
- CodePen export currently supports plain Vue SFCs with a template, optional style, and an Options API `export default` script. Named imports from `vue` and `quasar` are converted to browser globals.
- Examples using ``, TypeScript scripts, or local imports still render in Docsector, but the CodePen action is disabled. Use `codepen="false"` to hide it intentionally.
### File Attachment Blocks
```html
<d-block-file src="/files/manual/release-checklist.txt" title="Release checklist" size="1 KB">
Download the example file bundled with the docs.
</d-block-file>
```
Notes:
- Store small repo-tracked attachments in `public/files/` and link them with absolute paths such as `/files/manual/release-checklist.txt`.
- `title` and `size` are optional. If `title` is omitted, the rendered card falls back to the filename from `src`.
- The block body is rendered as an inline Markdown caption.
- External URLs also work, so the same syntax can later point to R2 or another CDN without changing the page structure.
### Embedded URL Blocks
```html
<d-block-embedded-url url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7lc1UVf-VE" title="YouTube player demo">
Optional caption rendered as inline Markdown.
</d-block-embedded-url>
```
Notes:
- Supported providers currently include YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, and CodePen.
- The block preserves the original query string, so provider options such as `autoplay=1&loop=1` keep working when supported by the destination service.
- Unsupported or private URLs fall back to a safe external-link card instead of attempting a generic iframe.
- Raw HTML remains the escape hatch when you need a provider outside the curated list or full manual iframe control.
