## How This Site Works

This site's core content consists of [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) files. We use [nanoc](http://nanoc.stoneship.org/), a Ruby-based [static site generator](http://www.mickgardner.com/2011/04/27/An-Introduction-To-Static-Site-Generators.html), to process these files for previewing. For production on [learn.jquery.com](http://learn.jquery.com), a node.js script post-processes the nanoc results and puts them into the learning section of the jQuery Wordpress network.

The template that controls the site's appearance is a [child theme](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template/tree/master/themes/learn-jquery-com) of the jQuery [web base template](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template), and any issues with the presentation should be directed to [that repository](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template).

### Site Organization

All of the content lives inside of the subdirectories of the `content` directory. Each of these subdirectories is considered a **category**, and contains one or more **articles**. Each category also contains a `dex.md` file that contains the category's human-readable title and an overview, which will appear on the category's landing page.

An [`order.yml`](https://github.com/jquery/learn.jquery.com/blob/master/order.yml) file controls the order that categories and articles appear in the site. Categories or articles that do not appear in this file will not be published in the production site.

As this site is part of the jQuery network of sites, its presentation is controlled by our [web base template](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template). To preview the site locally, first follow the [instructions there](https://github.com/jquery/web-base-template) to set up a local version of the jQuery WordPress network. Then, clone this repo and run the following steps (node.js required).


1. `npm install`
2. `cp config-sample.json config.json`
3. Edit config.json to use the username and password for your local WordPress network
4. `grunt`
