Three doc pages had fallen behind the code. I checked all nine against the actual source rather than reading for plausibility, so this also records what did not need changing.

themes.mdx — one claim was simply false

It said the paper theme is "Light mode only (dark mode toggle is disabled)". That is not the case:

  • getThemeConfig returns { enableSystem: true } for every theme
  • no theme sets forcedTheme — the field's own comment says "No theme sets one today"
  • paper/Layout.tsx:94 renders a ClientThemeSwitcher

The fanfold section predated the recent work on that theme, so it still promised a line-number gutter on every code block, and described its tables as plain field maps. Updated for the 80-column measure, the bare-fence exception that leaves ASCII diagrams unnumbered, the measured columns with the prose column folded under each row, and the short-aware header trail.

frontmatter.mdx — two fields missing

  • identifiers — new, undocumented.
  • draftnot new, and the more useful find. It is fully implemented (filterDraftsFromTree in source.ts drops the page from the navigation tree, so it vanishes from the sidebar, breadcrumbs, search and prev/next) but appeared in no doc at all. A working feature nobody could discover.

short also gained a line: it now feeds fanfold's header trail as well as its rail.

features.mdx — two stale lists

Themes listed two when there have been three since 0.16.0. The frontmatter one-liner listed five fields when there are nine.

Checked and left alone

configuration.mdx documents every top-level key in the Zod schema, with theme.name already listing all three themes. cli.mdx matches the five real commands. index.mdx, components.mdx, docker.mdx and image-optimization.mdx had nothing demonstrably wrong.

Verified

  • /docs, /docs/frontmatter, /docs/themes, /docs/features all 200
  • the new identifiers and draft headings render with anchors
  • every /docs/* link on the changed pages resolves, including the two cross-links added here
  • no MDX errors in the dev log, and build:docs --preset vercel completes

Docs stay on the default theme — unchanged here.

Three pages had fallen behind the code.

`themes.mdx` said the paper theme was light mode only with its toggle disabled.
It has not been for a while: `getThemeConfig` returns `enableSystem` for every
theme, no theme sets `forcedTheme`, and paper's layout renders the theme
switcher. The fanfold section also predated the recent work on it, so it still
promised a line-number gutter on every code block and described its tables as
plain field maps.

`frontmatter.mdx` was missing two fields. `identifiers` is new. `draft` is not —
it drops a page from the navigation tree, so it disappears from the sidebar,
breadcrumbs, search and the previous/next links, and it was documented nowhere at
all. `short` gained a line: it now feeds the fanfold header's trail as well as
its rail.

`features.mdx` listed two themes when there have been three since 0.16.0, and
five frontmatter fields when there are nine.

Checked the other six pages against the code rather than by eye. `configuration.mdx`
documents every key in the config schema and already listed all three themes;
`cli.mdx` matches the five commands. Nothing there needed changing.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Documented additional frontmatter fields: short, identifiers, authors, and draft.
    • Added guidance for the Fanfold theme, including headers, identifiers, code blocks, wide tables, and short labels.
    • Documented that draft pages are excluded from navigation, search, breadcrumbs, and page links while remaining in the repository.
    • Updated theme documentation to note that Paper supports both light and dark modes.

Walkthrough

The documentation now lists additional frontmatter fields, explains short, identifiers, and draft, and describes Fanfold and Paper theme capabilities.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bf421

The documentation adds identifiers, but static page generation currently drops the field before Fanfold renders, so published pages may omit configured identifier lines. Merge should wait until the data is preserved or the documentation is corrected.

Honoured by the `fanfold` theme, which prints them in its header block under the
breadcrumb trail. A page that sets none keeps the lines that theme derives on its
own — the site name, the section, and the page's path. The `default` and `paper`
themes ignore the field.

Preserve identifiers in static page data.

static-generate.ts omits identifiers when it rebuilds page frontmatter. entry-static.tsx passes this data to fanfold/Page.tsx, which then uses the site name and path fallback. A statically generated Fanfold page that sets identifiers therefore does not render them. Add identifiers: normalizeStringList(fm.identifiers) and keep both documentation statements aligned.
