MBS Plugin documentation now available as Markdown files

We are happy to announce that the MBS FileMaker Plugin documentation is now available as Markdown (.md) files.

Markdown is a simple, portable format that works well with many tools, editors, documentation systems, and AI workflows. If you want to read, process, search, or automate with our documentation, you can now access the Markdown version directly.

Getting the Markdown version of any documentation page

Every MBS Plugin documentation page that normally ends with:

.shtml

now also has a Markdown version.

Simply replace:

.shtml

with:

.md

in the URL.

For example, if you are viewing a documentation page:

FunctionName.shtml

you can access:

FunctionName.md

At the bottom of every documentation page, we also added links that let you directly open the Markdown version.

Use the documentation with your favorite tools

The Markdown files make it easier to use MBS documentation in your own workflows. You can import the documentation into tools, build custom searches, create scripts, or process the information with your own utilities.

For users who like to automate things, we provide additional resources on our documentation dash page.

Dash support

You can use our plugin help directly in the Dash application.

Dash is available for macOS from: kapeli.com/dash

To install the MBS FileMaker Plugin documentation in Dash, use the installation link provided on the dashboard.

For Windows and Linux, you can use the Zeal application. You can manually download the docset and place it into your existing docsets folder.

Available downloads include:

• MBS.zip

• MBS.tgz

Both archives contain the same documentation content.

Build your own database or AI assistant

If you want to create your own utility, search engine, documentation browser, or AI assistant based on MBS information, you can download our exported files.

Available resources include:

The Markdown export is especially useful for AI training workflows, indexing systems, and custom documentation tools.

The function list files are also structured to make processing easy. Each function entry contains the function name, documentation file name, short description, supported platforms, version information, and a separator line.

More possibilities with MBS documentation

If you are building an AI bot, documentation assistant, or developer tool, you can now use the Markdown export as a clean source format.

We hope these new options make it easier to work with MBS Plugin documentation — whether you prefer reading in a browser, using Dash or Zeal, or building your own tools.

Happy coding!
