Pages

Evidence renders markdown files into web pages. When developing, the markdown file /pages/example.md is rendered at localhost:3000/example.

Evidence instantly reloads pages when their markdown files are edited and saved.

File Based Routing

The URL to access a page is determined by the path to the markdown file in the /pages directory:

• pages/index.md is the homepage
• pages/weekly-sales.md creates the /weekly-sales page
• pages/marketing/attribution.md creates the /marketing/attribution page

This allows you to organize your pages in a way that makes sense for your users, for example:

• by department
• by product
• by customer
• by time period

Templated Pages

• pages/customers/[customer].md creates a page for each customer using the [customer].md template. See templated pages for details.

Frontmatter

You can include page metadata, such as a title, using frontmatter.
