Core Features

Discover the essential tools in John Le for building and managing documentation.

Overview

John Le provides powerful tools to streamline your documentation workflow. You can organize content hierarchically, collaborate seamlessly with teams, format rich documents, search efficiently, and export in multiple formats. These features help you create professional documentation spaces tailored to your projects.

Document Organization and Hierarchy

Organize your documentation into logical structures using folders, subpages, and custom navigation. This keeps large projects manageable.

Create Folders

Navigate to your workspace and select "New Folder". Name it descriptively, like "API Reference".

Add Pages

Inside a folder, create pages with "New Page". Use the hierarchy view to drag and reorder.

Set Navigation

Customize sidebar menus to reflect your structure.

Use consistent naming conventions like "v1.0-introduction" for versions to maintain clear hierarchies.

Collaboration and Version Control

Invite team members to edit docs in real-time. John Le tracks changes with full version history, similar to Git but integrated into your workspace.

Multiple users edit simultaneously. Changes appear instantly with user indicators.

Formatting and Editing Tools

Leverage markdown, MDX components, and a visual editor for professional formatting.

# Heading

- List item
- Another item

`Inline code`

Search and Indexing Capabilities

John Le indexes all content automatically, supporting full-text search with filters for pages, folders, and tags.

Use quotes for exact phrases: "API endpoint".

Filter by tag: tag:api.

Search supports stemming, so "document" finds "documentation".

Export and Sharing Options

Export your docs for offline use or embedding.

Export to PDF

Select pages or folders, choose "Export > PDF".

Generate HTML

Create a static site with "Export > HTML Site".

Share Links

Generate public or private links with permissions.

Exports preserve formatting, components, and hierarchy.
