Folder Structure

/pages

This is where all the pages for the site lives

/layouts

This is where all the layouts for the site lives

/assets

This is where the images, css and other assets live

Note: All of these can be changed here in the /config.php.

<paper>

We include 'meta' for post in a <paper> tag. Meta here means whatever you want to be replaced in the content of the page.

{content} in the layout and layout in the <paper> tag are reserved and cannot be used to replace the contents in the page

The syntax in the template is {meta}. For example if you want to add title to a page {title}, add a

title: This is the test title

in your paper tag. and in your layout. You would add

...
<title>{title}</title>
...

This will generate

<title>This is the test title</title>

in the HTML.

Example paper tag

<paper>       
    description: this is the best description
    title: This is the test title
    layout: blog.html
</paper>
