Configuring the site

Edit the _config.yml file and change the site title and description.

Adding pages

To add a new page you need to create a new markdown file with the name of your choice. For example here setup.md file is used to generate content for the setup page.

Layouts

There are currently two layouts: default and full.

In the default layout a sidebar containing navigation is present whereas in full layout the full page is reserved for page content.

The full layout can be selected by adding a yaml front matter to the markdown/html file:

---
layout: full
---

Adding links to the navigation bar

The navigation bar can be controlled by modifying the _config.yml file. Under navigation enter the title you would like to see on the sidebar and enter the relative link to that page.
