Congratulations, Richard! You have installed the Base Grav Package that provides a simple page and the default Quark theme to get you started.
If you see a 404 Error when you click Typography
in the menu, please refer to the troubleshooting guide.
If you want a more full-featured base install, you should check out Skeleton packages available in the downloads.
To edit this page, simply navigate to the folder you installed Grav into, and then browse to the user/pages/01.home
folder and open the default.md
file in your editor of choice. You will see the content of this page in Markdown format.
Creating a new page is a simple affair in Grav. Simply follow these simple steps:
Navigate to your pages folder: user/pages/
and create a new folder. In this example, we will use explicit default ordering and call the folder 03.mypage
.
Launch your text editor and paste in the following sample code:
---
title: My New Page
---
# My New Page!
This is the body of **my new page** and I can easily use _Markdown_ syntax here.
Save this file in the user/pages/03.mypage/
folder as default.md
. This will tell Grav to render the page using the default template.
That is it! Reload your browser to see your new page in the menu.
NOTE: The page will automatically show up in the Menu after the "Typography" menu item. If you wish to change the name that shows up in the Menu, simple add: menu: My Page
between the dashes in the page content. This is called the YAML front matter, and it is where you configure page-specific options.
