StyleGuideDoc  

StyleGuideDoc is a standard for documenting living style guides like these.

Syntax

Documenting style guide components is as easy as writing Markdown. Components can be documented in dedicated Markdown files:

---
name: Button
category: Components
---
 
Buttons can be used with `<a>`, `<button>`, and `<input>` elements.
 
Types of buttons:
- Default: Standard button
- Primary: Provides extra visual weight and identifies the primary action in a set of buttons
- Success: Indicates a successful or positive action
 
```types.html
<button class="btn btn-default">Default</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
<button class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
```

…or as comment blocks within any source code:

/*

```types.html

<button class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
<button class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
```
*/
.btn {
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    …
}
.btn-default {
    …
}

In both cases, the output will be the same.
