__NOTE__: By default, the paths, operations and responses defined in your spec files will be associated with the first Swagger document in _swagger_helper.rb_. If you're using multiple documents, you'll need to tag the individual specs with their target document name:
#### Supporting multiple versions of API ####
By default, the paths, operations and responses defined in your spec files will be associated with the first Swagger document in _swagger_helper.rb_. If your API has multiple versions, you should be using separate documents to describe each of them. In order to assign a file with a given version of API, you'll need to add the ```swagger_doc``` tag to each spec specifying its target document name:
```ruby
# spec/integration/v2/blogs_spec.rb

#### Formatting the description literals: ####
Swagger supports the Markdown syntax to format strings. This can be especially handy if you were to provide a long description of a given API version or endpoint. Use [this guide](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet) for reference.
__NOTE:__ There is one difference between the official Markdown syntax and Swagger interpretation, namely tables. To create a table like this:
| Column1 | Collumn2 |
| ------- | -------- |
| cell1 | cell2 |
you should use the folowing syntax, making sure there are no whitespaces at the start of any of the lines:
```

| Column1 | Collumn2 |
| ------- | -------- |
| cell1 | cell2 |

```
### Specifying/Testing API Security ###
Swagger allows for the specification of different security schemes and their applicability to operations in an API. To leverage this in rswag, you define the schemes globally in _swagger_helper.rb_ and then use the "security" attribute at the operation level to specify which schemes, if any, are applicable to that operation. Swagger supports :basic, :apiKey and :oauth2 scheme types. See [the spec](http://swagger.io/specification/#security-definitions-object-109) for more info.
