DownloadOpenAPI / Swagger, AsyncAPI & Semoasa definitions to (re)Slate compatible markdown. Widdershins is generally used as a stage in an API documentation pipeline. The pipeline begins with an API definition in OpenAPI 3.x, OpenAPI 2.0 (fka Swagger), API Blueprint, AsyncAPI or Semoasa format. Widdershins converts this description into markdown suitable for use by a renderer, such as Slate, ReSlate, Shins (deprecated) or html suitable for use with ReSpec. You can also use the environment file to group OAS/Swagger tagged paths together to create a more elegant table of contents, and overall page structure. If the language name differs between the markdown name required to syntax highlight and the httpsnippet required target, both can be specified in the form markdown--target. Widdershins supports the x-code-samples vendor-extension to completely customize your documentation.
