For Individual Files

All markdowns for individual files are stored within the "md" folder within a play. Each markdown should have 1 corresponding markdown file with (".md") appended to the end of the name. For example

../01 - How To Tell Your Story/01 - Content - Telling A Story/01 - Garage Ventures - Perfecting Your Pitch.pdf
../01 - How To Tell Your Story/01 - Content - Telling A Story/02 - a - David Merkoski - Telling Your Story.pdf
../01 - How To Tell Your Story/01 - Content - Telling A Story/03 - Nancy Duarte - Greatest Communicators.webloc

../01 - How To Tell Your Story/01 - Content - Telling A Story/md/01 - Garage Ventures - Perfecting Your Pitch.pdf.md
../01 - How To Tell Your Story/01 - Content - Telling A Story/md/02 - a - David Merkoski - Telling Your Story.pdf.md
../01 - How To Tell Your Story/01 - Content - Telling A Story/md/03 - Nancy Duarte - Greatest Communicators.webloc.md

These files can be manually added or edited within github, or you can use the "pencil" icon next to a file within the UI to assure you have the correct Markdown file path.

File Markdowns should be used:

1. To add a short description of each file. This will appear below the file within the playbook.
2. To add credit links. Must begin with "Credit: "
3. To add file content to be used by the search. This content should be added below the "{! SEARCH-CONTENT: !}" tag. Everything below this tag will be hidden from the user.

Markdown Example:

15 MIN READ || Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
