- Folder: The highest-order unit of content on the website. Folders are what you see on the homepage and other index pages, and they contain Sheets or Posts. In terms of file structure, a Folder is a literal folder in
/content/containing_index.mdandn.md(where n is an integer beginning at 1). - Sheet/Post: The second-order unit of content on the website, Sheets are individual Posts that comprise a Folder. In terms of file structure, a Sheet is an individual Markdown (
.md) file contained inside a Folder and namedn.md(where n is an integer beginning at 1). - Item/Object: An evocative object used to spur conversation.
- Open Terminal and run
hugo new --kind folder foldername.foldernameshould be an alphanumeric string and can contain hyphens; it will make up the URL for the folder once the site builds. - Open your new Folder and open its
_index.md.- Adjust the title attribute — this is the title of the entire Folder.
- Add topics to the topics list to describe the content that will be posted in the Folder.
- Open your new Folder's first Sheet,
1.md. Add your author shortname to the author attribute (i.e.devinortanvi). - Add your Sheet's Item inside the approriate markup (
.sheet__item). Use<img>,<blockquote>, or<iframe>. - Add your Sheet content inside the appropriate markup (
.sheet__response). Since Markdown doesn't parse Markdown inside of HTML tags, we'll need to write all our own HTML tags. Make sure paragraphs go inside paragraph tags, etc. - Push to github.
- In Finder or your text editor's file tree, find the Folder you'd like to add a Sheet to inside of
content/. Take note of the directory name, i.e.rhizome. - Open it up and take note of the latest post's number. It might be
1.mdor5.mdorn.md, etc. - In Terminal, run
hugo new --kind sheet [foldername]/[sheetnumber].md, where[foldername]is the name of the directory/Folder you'd like to add to, and[sheetnumber]is the number of the sheet you are adding. I.e.hugo new --kind sheet rhizome/2.md - Add your Sheet's Item and Content
