Getting started

The website itself is really simple. It consists of a single index.cshtml file. The entire site is built up around Markdown (.md) files located inside the pages directory by default.

If need to deploy to the IIS, need to install the http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

Folder structure

The folder structure determines how the menu is constructed as well as the URLs to each page.

Each folder MUST have a file called index.md with the exception of folders starting with an underscore (example: /pages/_images/).

Metadata

Each .md file has a bit of metadata at the top that allows you to customize various aspects of the file.

perties
pageTitle="FTP"
description="bla bla bla"
slug="ftp"
order="300"
keywords="ftp, deploy"


arkdown content goes here

• pageTitle: The title of each page. Required
• description: The description of each page. Required
• slug: A Slug is what the URL should be. Must be lower cased. Required
• order: Determins the sort order of the page in the menu. Optional
• keywords: A comma separated list of keywords. 3 or more required

Screenshots/animated GIFs

To maintain a consistent look to all the screenshots/animated GIFs, please adhere to these Visual Studio settings:

Font: 12pt Consolas
Theme: Light

Also, please make sure to have a ~5 pixel padding when making an animated GIF from one of the editors, so the things you show aren't located all the way at the edges of the image, but about 5 pixels from the top and left.

The padding rule only applies to screenshots/animated GIFs taken inside the editors.

The width of any screenshot/animated GIF, make sure to keep them at a maximum of 600 pixels wide.

Validation

To help make sure that each pull request meets the requirements of the metadata, the validator helps guide the contributors to write valid .md files for the MarkSite instance.

When using AppVeyor, each pull requests is automatically being build and the validator will automatically fail the build in case the pull request isn't satisfying the validator.
