Hugo uses Markdown for all site content. Content pages are in the /content folder.
Hugo supports basic GitHub Markdown syntax. A helpful guide for Markdown is here.
The site uses custom Hugo shortcodes extensively. Shortcode details are in the Writing Guide.
Sections in Hugo are subdirectories of the /content folder. To add a section, create a subdirectory, for example, 'MySection', then add a _index.md file. All first-level subdirectories from /content are default sections, but any nested sections must include _index.md.
The weight parameter in the front matter determines the page ordering. Hugo arranges lower weights first, and is relative per section.
Pages set to draft: true in the front matter do not show when the local server is running.
Use hugo server -D to include drafts and display them locally.
The site uses the Hugo Book theme, built by alex-shpak. The NetDocs theme contains custom shortcodes and partial templates, as well as styling customizations and assets not included with the base theme. The layouts directory in the main repo is the final layout override, and contains any site-specific assets. See theme components for information on theme overrides and https://gohugo.io/templates/lookup-order/ for information on Hugo's default lookup order.
