Web Editor

We’ve revamped our web editor so that you can now update docs with a fully WYSIWYG experience, while syncing with markdown.

Check out our docs on getting started with Web Editor.

All docs now hosted at /llms.txt

All docs instances are now automatically hosted at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt so that LLMs can easily ingest your documentation. For more information, read the docs on the new llms.txt standard.

Localization

You can now localize your docs which operates similarly to versioning. Add a locale to a version and fixed content in Mintlify like “Was this page helpful?” will also match the locale.

Changelogs

Launched a new Update component to make it easier to display and report updates (like this one) to your users.

Code Line Highlighting

You can now highlight lines of code in your docs to emphasize and bring attention to important parts by adding a special comment after the language identifier. Use curly braces {} and specify line numbers or ranges separated by commas.

Line Highlighting Example
const greeting = "Hello, World!";
function sayHello() {
  console.log(greeting);
}
sayHello();

```javascript Line Highlighting Example {1,3-5}
const greeting = "Hello, World!";
function sayHello() {
  console.log(greeting);
}
sayHello();
```

Light mode code blocks

Code blocks now have a light mode variant which can be enabled by adding the following to your mint.json:

"codeBlock": {
  "mode": "auto"
}

Advanced Footer

You can now add more links to the standard footer. This upgrade provides more consistency between landing pages and docs, or greater customization if you want to spotlight specific pages like socials or status logs.

Filter search based on the current user

When user auth is enabled, search results are now filtered based on the current logged in user so that they only see the relevant content.

You can now customize the prompts for the AI chat. Please reach out to support if you’d like to customize the prompts.
