A lightweight WordPress Plugin that generates admin documentation/help pages for your WordPress site from Markdown files.

Use

1. Add Markdown files to docs/
2. Install & Activate plugin in WordPress Admin

Details

• /docs should contain all your Markdown files
• Links to ../[DOCUMENT_NAME.md], ./[DOCUMENT_NAME.md] or docs/[DOCUMENT_NAME.md] will automatically route to display the file using URL Parameters ?page=docs&doc=[DOCUMENT_NAME].md
