MoonDocKit

MoonDocKit is a MoonBit-first documentation site toolkit for package authors. It turns package notes and guides into small static HTML documentation sites with safe HTML escaping, stable anchors, navigation, and testable rendering logic.

This repository is being developed for the 2026 MoonBit 国产基础软件开源大赛. The project is intentionally scoped as an ecosystem tool rather than another standalone Markdown parser: the long-term goal is to help MoonBit package authors publish clear docs, examples, API guides, and release notes with a simple MoonBit workflow.

Current Features

• Safe HTML escaping for generated pages.
• Stable ASCII slug generation for headings and page routes.
• Block-level Markdown AST for headings, paragraphs, lists, block quotes, and fenced code blocks.
• Paragraph line folding and fenced code language labels.
• HTML rendering from parsed Markdown blocks.
• Heading extraction and automatic on-page table of contents.
• Page-unique heading anchors for duplicate section titles.
• Front matter parsing for page title, order, tags, and custom fields.
• Route planning for multi-page sites using page slug and front matter order.
• Static output manifest generation for rendered HTML files.
• JSON search index generation.
• Site summary metadata for demos and validation.
• Site validation diagnostics for empty sites, empty titles, empty source pages, and duplicate output routes.
• Theme configuration for generated page colors and layout widths.
• Runnable demo that prints generated files and site statistics.
• Site-level rendering with sidebar navigation.
• Runnable demo package at cmd/main.
• Blackbox tests for public behavior.

Quick Start

moon check
moon test
moon run cmd/main
python tools/verify_project.py

The demo prints generated output files, summary metadata, and validation diagnostics for an in-memory documentation site.

Project Direction

MoonDocKit will grow into a practical documentation toolkit for the MoonBit ecosystem:

• Expand the block-level AST with inline nodes and source spans.
• Add a CLI writer for static output manifests.
• Generate search indexes.
• Report validation diagnostics before publishing.
• Support front matter for page title, order, tags, and layout.
• Provide templates for package docs, tutorials, examples, and changelogs.
• Expand theme presets for package, tutorial, and API reference sites.
• Publish as a reusable package on mooncakes.io.

Competition Fit

The competition charter asks for projects that are real, reusable, testable, maintainable, and valuable to the MoonBit open-source ecosystem. MoonDocKit targets a common ecosystem gap: package authors need a simple way to turn MoonBit project documentation into browsable static sites without leaving the MoonBit toolchain.
