Making Changes

The website is hosted by GitHub Pages and most content is authored in Markdown format. HTML is also acceptable. Each page has at the beginning a section called front matter. This is YAML between three dashes and looks like:

---
layout: page
title: Some Page
---

Every page needs at least a layout and a title. It is also useful to add a description to be helpful to search engines. Valid layouts can be found in the _layouts directory. Generally, you will want to use onecolumn, but post and rsidebar can also be used. If you specify rsidebar, you will also need to create content for the sidebar and a front matter variable sidebar which points to the sidebar file. This file should be placed in the _includes directory. See installation.md or overview.md for an example of how this works.

To create a new published subdirectory, add it to collections in _config.yml. Published subdirectories should be named with a leading underscore.

If you rename a page or move its content elsewhere, be a good web citizen and add a redirect from the old location to the new. For instance, if you want to move the content of overview.md to getting_started.md, don't just remove overview.md, rather remove its content and add a redirect variable to its front matter pointing to the new page. See specification.md for an example of this.

When creating links to local resources, such as between pages, prefix them with {{site.path}} and use absolute, rather than relative paths. This ensures links continue to work in staging.
