Getting Started

To create a new site, in your command line of choice, type zoey new site <site-name> This command generates a folder named <site-name>, with the following structure -

/<site-name>
├── config.py
├── /public
└── /src
    ├── /assets
    │   ├── /media
    │   └── style.css
    └── index.md

Folder structure explanation -

1. config.py - This file holds certain configuration for your site.
2. /src - This is the folder where you will be writing all the pages for your site in markdown .md format.
3. /public - This is the folder, which will have the final html files, which you can directly copy and add to any hosting service of choice. The contents of this folder will be auto generated when the generator is run.

Core concepts

1. Always make changes in the src directory only. No direct changes to be made to the public directory.
2. group - A group is basically a folder inside src, which groups some pages together.
3. page - A page is an individual markdown file, that will be converted to a HTML page.
4. All multimedia files should be placed inside the src/assets/media folder only, and then suitably linkedin inside the markdown files.

Usage

1. To create a new page -

   zoey new page <page-name>

   This creates a new page named page-name.md inside the src folder.
2. To create a group -

   zoey new group <group-name>

   This creates a new folder named group-name inside the src folder.

   assets is a reserved keyword for group naming, and cannot be used to create any group

3. To create a new page inside a group -

   zoey new page <page-name> --group <group-name>

   This creates a new page named page-name.md inside the group-name folder.
4. To see the list of all groups -

   zoey groups

   This lists down all the groups that have been created.
5. To generate the final site -

   zoey generate site

   This will populate the public directory which can be copied and added to any hosting provider of choice.
