Introduction
Welcome to the Sovrium documentation starter. This whole section is generated
from the .md files in content/docs/ — there is no per-page configuration to
maintain. Add a file, get a route.
How a file becomes a route
The config/pages/docs.yaml page declares a content directory collection.
At startup Sovrium scans the folder, reads each file's frontmatter, and
registers one route per file:
| File | Route |
|---|---|
content/docs/introduction.md |
/docs/introduction |
content/docs/installation.md |
/docs/installation |
content/docs/guides/deployment.md |
/docs/guides/deployment |
Because slugFrom: filepath, nested folders are preserved in the URL — so the
folder layout is the navigation.
Frontmatter drives everything
Every file opens with a YAML frontmatter block. These keys do real work:
title— the sidebar label for this page (nav.labelFrom: title)description— a short summary of the pagecategory— the sidebar group heading (nav.groupBy: category)order— the position within the section (sort.field: order)draft— settrueto exclude a file from routes and the sidebar
The sidebar, the table of contents, and the previous/next links at the bottom of this page are all derived automatically. You never hand-write a nav list.
What you can write
The body is GitHub-Flavored Markdown: tables, ordered and nested lists, blockquotes, autolinks like https://sovrium.com, images, and fenced code that is syntax-highlighted server-side.
Ready to run it locally? Head to Installation using the link at the bottom of this page — the prev/next chrome is generated from the collection order.
