Description

What is the Moodle feature that needs documenting?

For documentation we should document some tips and tricks on getting started, for example:

  • a getting started template
  • useful markdown frontmatter
  • links to the frontmatter docs
  • useful components (Since, ValidExample, InvalidExample)
  • other useful things (including examples from file, etc.)
Is this documentation specific to a Moodle version?

No

Are you able to provide a patch for this?

Yes - I will create one

Research direction

Locate the existing developer documentation structure and comparable getting-started pages, then review how frontmatter and components such as Since, ValidExample, and InvalidExample are currently used. Done means adding a version-independent guide covering the requested template, frontmatter links and tips, components, and file examples.
