# Example zola Website
## About
This repository is template to build a new Zola website.
- The contents of the pages reside in the markdown files in /content (written in CommmonMark)
- The pages are rendered using HTML templates with Tailwind CSS framework in /templates
## Getting Started
To use this repository as a template, simply:
- clone repository
- add your own content to templates directory (see more below)
- [install Zola](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/),
- run `./build.sh` to build.
- Then run `./start.sh` to run Locally.
## How to create pages using this template
### Structure of the content directory
Every index.md file in a content directory corresponds to a page, and the landing page is content/\_index.md.
The path of each page is simply its path relavant to the root of the content directory.
Ex:
content/\_index.md -> yoururl.com/
content/blog/\_index.md -> yoururl.com/blog
content/careers/index.md or content/careers.md -> yoururl.com/careers
### Section Templates
#### Blog.html
The blog page is created by default if there is a blog folder in the content directory. The blog page consists of a featured post row, a paginated grid of posts sorted by recency, and a side nav of post categories and featured posts.
Blog posts can have categories, and can be filtered by said categries. To add a new category simply define the posts category in the yaml header of the blog's index.md file. See /content/blog/2019/01/post-3/index.md for example. The side navigation and category based listing will be automatically updated.
To make a blog post featured, simply add an isFeatured attribute to the yaml header of the blog post. The most recent featured blog post wiil be displayed on the heading row of the blog page, and the rest will be displayed under featured posts in the side nav. See /content/blog/2019/03/post-5/index.md for implementation.
#### Section.html
The default section template, displays section body without styling (except for margins), and displays subpages of the section below. The subpages of the page are displayed as small summaries of pages with title, description, and categories, as rendered by partials/pageBox.html. The subpages are grouped by the taxonomy name passed in as the "group_pages_by" extra attribute, defined in the section's yaml header.
### Creating custom pages
To create your own page, simply create a markdwn file following the examples provided above.
By default, the markdown file will be displayed plainly as it is.
#### Page templates
If you wish to display your markdown files in a specific page template, simply define the template you would like to use in the yaml header of your markdown file. For instance, the blogPage.html template displays blog posts with author info, date, side margins, and a hero image on top of the post. See any blog page in /content for implementation.
### Shortcodes
To give website creators freedom in styling without necessitating getting outside of the /content directory and in to the html files, the template has a few features.
- #### row.html shortcode
Markdown only goes vertical, but this shortcode allows one to add horizontal elements to their web pages. Simply use the {% row() %} {% end %} syntax and place your content in between. The row shortcode can also take a bgPath parameter if you want your row to have a background. (see /content/careers/index.html)
You can create columns in your row by using three vertical bars. ( ||| )
You can fill in your columns with regular markdown, but they can also be empty.
- #### menu.html
Just like row, menu renders a row with columns split by ( ||| ). However, menu is specifically used to create menu objects for expandible header items. The menu shortcode supports button shortcodes in itself, and provides styling for the menu.
- #### button.html
A simple button shortcode that takes a body and displays it inside a button that is animated on hover. The button also is entirely clickable, and navigates to the first of if any children link elements.
- #### mermaid.html
Simple mermaid shorcode that can be used to create mermaid diagrams in markdown. Also supported in row shortcode.
[Mermaid]("https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/")
- #### annotation.html
Simple annotation shorcode that can be used to create annotation objects in markdown.
(note: inline and inline end qualifiers do not work.)

### Image sizing with source paths
You can size your markdown images by adding #small, #medium or #large at the end of the images source url.
See /content/\_index.md for implementation.
### Header & Footer
The header and footer are also created from markdown files in the content directory. In /content/header/\_index.md, each header item is bulleted. If a header item has a row beneath it, the row will be displayed as a sub-menu on click. Otherwise, if header item is a link, it will simply navigate to the linked page.
The footer, likewise, is structured using the row shortcode. However the left section with page summary is built in. To edit the site destcription, one should edit the description (in the yaml header) of the footer md file. To edit the social links, simply add the social outlets name and your link into the socialLinks dictionary attribute on the yaml header of the footer/\_index.md. If a social icon exists for the social outlet, the link wiill be automatically rendered within the icon, displayed in the footer.
