Editing Your Page

To edit this page, navigate to the folder where you installed Grav, then go to user/pages/01.home. Open the default.md file in your editor of choice. You'll find the content of this page in Markdown format.

Creating a New Page

Creating a new page is straightforward in Grav. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to your pages folder: user/pages/ and create a new folder. Let's name it 03.mypage.

  2. Open 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.

  3. Save this file in the user/pages/03.mypage/ folder as default.md. This will instruct Grav to render the page using the default template.

  4. That's it! Reload your browser to see your new page in the menu.

Remember, the page will automatically appear in the Menu after the "Typography" menu item. If you want to change the name displayed in the Menu, simply add: menu: My Page between the dashes in the page content. This is known as YAML front matter, where you configure page-specific options.
