Content files

The content files contain the information to be displayed on the web pages. A content file corresponds to a web page, however, the creation of the page requires some other components, at least a document and a layout file.

The content files can be markdown or HTML files. The markdown files are simple text files that use easy to remember markups to generate HTML formatted content from the text file. For details see Markdown syntax. According to that the content files can have .md and .html extensions. The content files take place in a /contents directory. The location of the directory can be set in the configuration.

The root directory of the contents do not contain content files!

The subdirectories of the root content directory define the languages the engine support. If there are more language directories, the navigation bar displays a dropdown menu to select the current language. The default language can be set in the configuration. The language directories can also have subdirectories, that can appear as dropdown menus in the navigation bar.

/contents
    /language-A
        content-1.md
        content-2.md
        /subdir-a
            content-3.md
        ...
    /language-B
        content-4.md
        content-5.md
        /subdir-b
            content-6.md
        ...

Usually some additional information is also required to compose a web page. These information called metadata have to be placed at the beginning of the content files. The format and the properties of metadata are detailed on the Content metadata page.

Tokens

The content files can contain other components. For details see the Components page. The places of the components are marked with the name of the component surrounded by double braces and optional spaces ({{ name }}) - these are called tokens. The following table lists the types of the tokens:
