# Interactive Runbooks

Interactive Runbooks make static documents interactive. They live right next to your terminal and are easy to create and share. 

Runbooks are written in [Rundown](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/rundown-language.md). Rundown is based on [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) but also lets you: add form elements, run code blocks, and even run shell commands. Interactive Runbooks use the `.run` file extension.

### Get Started

We recommend using examples to get started.

* Download [full runbooks](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/running-runbooks.md)
* View examples for each of the [form elements](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/components.md)
* Learn how to [run runbooks](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/running-runbooks.md)
