Lab Document

The Document tab in a Topo workspace is where you write the instructions that correspond with your lab. Instructions are authored in Markdown using Topo's built-in editor. Authoring in Markdown enables you to create a nicely formatted document without writing HTML.

The Topo editor is a collaborative editor. Multiple people can work on the documentation at the same time. As long as you are "connected" (see the top-right corner) your updates to the document are being saved.

More information about Markdown, including the syntax guide, can be found at markdownguide.org.

Inserting an image

To insert an image into your document:

1. Click Images, then click Browse (you can drag and drop too).
2. After browsing to upload an image, you should see a preview of the image.
3. Place your cursor in the document where you want the image, hover over the image, and click Insert.

Previewing the doc

To see how your instructions will look to players when they "play" your lab, click the Preview button. The first screen capture shows the Markdown editor. The second screen capture shows the document in preview mode.
