LayerDocs: The Modular Documentation Engine

LayerDocs is a next-generation, versatile Markdown-based typesetting system designed for technical modularity, structural depth, and premium aesthetic output. It bridges the gap between the simplicity of Markdown and the professional precision of LaTeX, all within a modern, AI-integrated ecosystem.

🚀 Why LayerDocs?

In an era of rapid information exchange, static documentation is no longer enough. LayerDocs provides:

• Depth & Modularity: Organize large documentation projects into logical subdocuments and reusable components.
• Scientific Precision: Native, high-performance LaTeX rendering for complex mathematical equations.
• Premium Aesthetics: Vercel-inspired, high-contrast themes optimized for readability and developer experience.
• AI-Ready Syntax: Proprietary .qd (Quarkdown) syntax optimized for parsing and generation by LLMs.

🛠️ Core Features

• .function {arg} Syntax: A powerful, unified command system for controlling document layout, including tables, charts, and media.
• Cross-Platform Output: Generate high-fidelity PDFs for print and responsive HTML/Next.js sites for the web.
• Rich Media Support: Integrated Mermaid.js diagrams, interactive charts, and advanced image manipulation.
• AI Studio: (Coming Soon) A built-in interactive editor with real-time preview and seamless Ollama integration.

📦 PyPI Installation

LayerDocs is available as a lightweight Python package for automated document compilation.

pip install layerdocs

Quick Start (Python)

import layerdocs

# Compile a Quarkdown file to a professional PDF
layerdocs.compile(
    source="main.qd", 
    output="manual.pdf", 
    theme="galactic"
)

# Convert Markdown to LayerDocs HTML
html_output = layerdocs.to_html("docs/intro.md")

💻 CLI Usage

The LayerDocs CLI provides a suite of tools for local development and build automation.

# Initialize a new project
layerdocs init my-docs

# Compile and watch for changes with a local web server
layerdocs c main.qd -p -w --port 8089

🏗️ Project Structure

A typical LayerDocs project follows this modular structure:

my-docs/
├── _setup.qd       # Global configuration and theming
├── _nav.qd         # Sidebar and navigation definitions
├── main.qd         # Main entry point
├── assets/         # Images, CSS, and static files
└── docs/           # Modular content pages (.qd or .md)
