| The Apache Brooklyn documentation is written in [kramdown](http://kramdown.gettalong.org/syntax.html){:target="_blank"} a superset of Markdown |
| which is processed into HTML using [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/){:target="_blank"}. In addition to the standard set of options |
| and notation available with these platforms, a number of custom plug-ins have been implemented specifically |
| for the Apache Brooklyn docs. These are detailed below: |
| |
| Jekyll plug-ins are written in ruby and kept in the `_plugins` folder. Note that if you're using `jekyll serve` to |
| display the site, changes to these plug-ins will not be reflected in the rendered site until jekyll is restarted. |
