# spacy.io website and docs [![Netlify Status](https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/badges/d65fe97d-99ab-47f8-a339-1d8987251da0/deploy-status)](https://app.netlify.com/sites/spacy/deploys) _This page contains the documentation and styleguide for the spaCy website. Its rendered version is available at https://spacy.io/styleguide._ --- The [spacy.io](https://spacy.io) website is implemented using [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) with [Remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) and [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/). This allows authoring content in **straightforward Markdown** without the usual limitations. Standard elements can be overwritten with powerful [React](http://reactjs.org/) components and wherever Markdown syntax isn't enough, JSX components can be used. > #### Contributing to the site > > The docs can always use another example or more detail, and they should always > be up to date and not misleading. We always appreciate a > [pull request](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/pulls). To quickly find the > correct file to edit, simply click on the "Suggest edits" button at the bottom > of a page. > > For more details on editing the site locally, see the installation > instructions and markdown reference below. ## Logo {#logo source="website/src/images/logo.svg"} import { Logos } from 'widgets/styleguide' If you would like to use the spaCy logo on your site, please get in touch and ask us first. However, if you want to show support and tell others that your project is using spaCy, you can grab one of our [spaCy badges](/usage/spacy-101#faq-project-with-spacy). ## Colors {#colors} import { Colors, Patterns } from 'widgets/styleguide' ### Patterns ## Typography {#typography} import { H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, Label, InlineList, Comment } from 'components/typography' > #### Markdown > > ```markdown_ > ## Headline 2 > ## Headline 2 {#some_id} > ## Headline 2 {#some_id tag="method"} > ``` > > #### JSX > > ```jsx >

> ``` Headlines are set in [HK Grotesk](http://cargocollective.com/hanken/HK-Grotesk-Open-Source-Font) by Hanken Design. All other body text and code uses the best-matching default system font to provide a "native" reading experience. Level 2 headings are automatically wrapped in `
` elements at compile time, using a custom [Markdown transformer](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/tree/master/website/plugins/remark-wrap-section.js). This makes it easier to highlight the section that's currently in the viewpoint in the sidebar menu.

--- The following optional attributes can be set on the headline to modify it. For example, to add a tag for the documented type or mark features that have been introduced in a specific version or require statistical models to be loaded. Tags are also available as standalone `` components. | Argument | Example | Result | | -------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `tag` | `{tag="method"}` | method | | `new` | `{new="2"}` | 2 | | `model` | `{model="tagger, parser"}` | tagger, parser | | `hidden` | `{hidden="true"}` | | ## Elements {#elements} ### Links {#links} > #### Markdown > > ```markdown > [I am a link](https://spacy.io) > ``` > > #### JSX > > ```jsx > I am a link > ``` Special link styles are used depending on the link URL. - [I am a regular external link](https://explosion.ai) - [I am a link to the documentation](/api/doc) - [I am a link to GitHub](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy) ### Abbreviations {#abbr} import { Abbr } from 'components/typography' > #### JSX > > ```jsx > Abbreviation > ``` Some text with an abbreviation. On small screens, I collapse and the explanation text is displayed next to the abbreviation. ### Tags {#tags} import Tag from 'components/tag' > ```jsx > method > 2.1 > tagger, parser > ``` Tags can be used together with headlines, or next to properties across the documentation, and combined with tooltips to provide additional information. An optional `variant` argument can be used for special tags. `variant="new"` makes the tag take a version number to mark new features. Using the component, visibility of this tag can later be toggled once the feature isn't considered new anymore. Setting `variant="model"` takes a description of model capabilities and can be used to mark features that require a respective model to be installed. method 2 tagger, parser ### Buttons {#buttons} import Button from 'components/button' > ```jsx > > > ``` Link buttons come in two variants, `primary` and `secondary` and two sizes, with an optional `large` size modifier. Since they're mostly used as enhanced links, the buttons are implemented as styled links instead of native button elements. ## Components ### Table > #### Markdown > > ```markdown_ > | Header 1 | Header 2 | > | --- | --- | > | Column 1 | Column 2 | > ``` > > #### JSX > > ```markup > > > >
Header 1Header 2

> ``` Tables are used to present data and API documentation. Certain keywords can be used to mark a footer row with a distinct style, for example to visualise the return values of a documented function. | Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 | | ----------- | -------- | :------: | -------: | | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | | **RETURNS** | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | ### List > #### Markdown > > ```markdown_ > 1. One > 2. Two > ``` > > #### JSX > > ```markup >

> ``` Lists are available as bulleted and numbered. Markdown lists are transformed automatically. - I am a bulleted list - I have nice bullets - Lorem ipsum dolor - consectetur adipiscing elit 1. I am an ordered list 2. I have nice numbers 3. Lorem ipsum dolor 4. consectetur adipiscing elit ### Aside > #### Markdown > > ```markdown_ > > #### Aside title > > This is aside text. > ``` > > #### JSX > > ```jsx > > ``` Asides can be used to display additional notes and content in the right-hand column. Asides can contain text, code and other elements if needed. Visually, asides are moved to the side on the X-axis, and displayed at the same level they were inserted. On small screens, they collapse and are rendered in their original position, in between the text. To make them easier to use in Markdown, paragraphs formatted as blockquotes will turn into asides by default. Level 4 headlines (with a leading `####`) will become aside titles. ### Code Block > #### Markdown > > ````markdown_ > ```python > ### This is a title > import spacy > ``` > ```` > > #### JSX > > ```jsx > > import spacy > > ``` Code blocks use the [Prism](http://prismjs.com/) syntax highlighter with a custom theme. The language can be set individually on each block, and defaults to raw text with no highlighting. An optional label can be added as the first line with the prefix `####` (Python-like) and `///` (JavaScript-like). the indented block as plain text and preserve whitespace. ```python ### Using spaCy import spacy nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") doc = nlp(u"This is a sentence.") for token in doc: print(token.text, token.pos_) ``` Code blocks and also specify an optional range of line numbers to highlight by adding `{highlight="..."}` to the headline. Acceptable ranges are spans like `5-7`, but also `5-7,10` or `5-7,10,13-14`. > #### Markdown > > ````markdown_ > ```python > ### This is a title {highlight="1-2"} > import spacy > nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") > ``` > ```` ```python ### Using the matcher {highlight="5-7"} import spacy from spacy.matcher import Matcher nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') matcher = Matcher(nlp.vocab) pattern = [{'LOWER': 'hello'}, {'IS_PUNCT': True}, {'LOWER': 'world'}] matcher.add('HelloWorld', None, pattern) doc = nlp(u'Hello, world! Hello world!') matches = matcher(doc) ``` Adding `{executable="true"}` to the title turns the code into an executable block, powered by [Binder](https://mybinder.org) and [Juniper](https://github.com/ines/juniper). If JavaScript is disabled, the interactive widget defaults to a regular code block. > #### Markdown > > ````markdown_ > ```python > ### {executable="true"} > import spacy > nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") > ``` > ```` ```python ### {executable="true"} import spacy nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") doc = nlp(u"This is a sentence.") for token in doc: print(token.text, token.pos_) ``` If a code block only contains a URL to a GitHub file, the raw file contents are embedded automatically and syntax highlighting is applied. The link to the original file is shown at the top of the widget. > #### Markdown > > ````markdown_ > ```python > https://github.com/... > ``` > ```` > > #### JSX > > ```jsx > > ``` ```python https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/tree/master/examples/pipeline/custom_component_countries_api.py ``` ### Infobox import Infobox from 'components/infobox' > #### JSX > > ```jsx > Regular infobox > This is a warning. > This is dangerous. > ``` Infoboxes can be used to add notes, updates, warnings or additional information to a page or section. Semantically, they're implemented and interpreted as an `aside` element. Infoboxes can take an optional `title` argument, as well as an optional `variant` (either `"warning"` or `"danger"`). If needed, an infobox can contain regular text, `inline code`, lists and other blocks. If needed, an infobox can contain regular text, `inline code`, lists and other blocks. If needed, an infobox can contain regular text, `inline code`, lists and other blocks. ### Accordion import Accordion from 'components/accordion' > #### JSX > > ```jsx > > Accordion content goes here. > > ``` Accordions are collapsible sections that are mostly used for lengthy tables, like the tag and label annotation schemes for different languages. They all need to be presented – but chances are the user doesn't actually care about _all_ of them, especially not at the same time. So it's fairly reasonable to hide them begin a click. This particular implementation was inspired by the amazing [Inclusive Components blog](https://inclusive-components.design/collapsible-sections/).

Nullam euismod arcu in tortor auctor, sit amet dignissim justo congue. ## Setup and installation {#setup} Before running the setup, make sure your versions of [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) are up to date. ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/explosion/spaCy cd spaCy/website # Install Gatsby's command-line tool npm install --global gatsby-cli # Install the dependencies npm install # Start the development server npm run dev ``` If you are planning on making edits to the site, you should also set up the [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) code formatter. It takes care of formatting Markdown and other files automatically. [See here](https://prettier.io/docs/en/editors.html) for the available extensions for your code editor. The [`.prettierrc`](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/tree/master/website/.prettierrc) file in the root defines the settings used in this codebase. ## Markdown reference {#markdown} All page content and page meta lives in the `.md` files in the `/docs` directory. The frontmatter block at the top of each file defines the page title and other settings like the sidebar menu. ````markdown --- title: Page title --- ## Headline starting a section {#some_id} This is a regular paragraph with a [link](https://spacy.io) and **bold text**. > #### This is an aside title > > This is aside text. ### Subheadline | Header 1 | Header 2 | | -------- | -------- | | Column 1 | Column 2 | ```python ### Code block title {highlight="2-3"} import spacy nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") doc = nlp("Hello world") ``` This is content in the infobox. ```` In addition to the native markdown elements, you can use the components [``][infobox], [``][accordion], [``][abbr] and [``][tag] via their JSX syntax.
