Node Documentation with Markdown

Custom nodes can include rich markdown documentation that will be displayed in the UI instead of the generic node description. This provides users with detailed information about your node’s functionality, parameters, and usage examples.

​
Setup

To add documentation for your nodes:
  1. Create a docs folder inside your WEB_DIRECTORY
  2. Add markdown files named after your nodes (the names of your nodes are the dictionary keys in the NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS dictionary used to register the nodes):
    • WEB_DIRECTORY/docs/NodeName.md - Default documentation
    • WEB_DIRECTORY/docs/NodeName/en.md - English documentation
    • WEB_DIRECTORY/docs/NodeName/zh.md - Chinese documentation
    • Add other locales as needed (e.g., fr.md, de.md, etc.)
The system will automatically load the appropriate documentation based on the user’s locale, falling back to NodeName.md if a localized version is not available.

​
Supported Markdown Features

  • Standard markdown syntax (headings, lists, code blocks, etc.)
  • Images using markdown syntax: ![alt text](image.png)
  • HTML media elements with specific attributes:
    • <video> and <source> tags
    • Allowed attributes: controls, autoplay, loop, muted, preload, poster
