This site is made with the Jekyll content management system, and hosted on GitHub pages.
If you’re not familiar with GitHub, they have excellent help pages.

Note: meta/TODO.md has a list of TODO items, which was made when the website was in its
initial development phase. In the future, GitHub issues may be used.
Each page is in Markdown format, with a .md file extension. These files are converted into corresponding .html files by Jekyll when they start with these lines:
- published: if the page should not be published, set this to
false - layout:
bookpageis the default - weight: an integer value from 1 to 100 that effects the ordering of the page in the sidebar and homepage lists
- category: the category the page belongs in
- title: the page title used in the title tag and h1 of the page
Example:
---
published: true
layout: bookpage
weight: 60
category: Workflow
title: Page Title
---
We have a simple script to make such a page:
./_build/add en-US/path/to/page.md
This will make a file with the required lines.
First install Jekyll, with gem:
sudo gem install jekyll
