Examples

This section is not a manual. It is a site built with DocPensieve, the way a team would build one: a training course in three modules, each a series of lessons, with its authors, its dates, its tags and its components.

Everything here is written in Markdown and MDX, and reaches the reader without a line of JavaScript.

First steps

Install DocPensieve, write a first page and build it — in under an hour.

What to look at

Series in cards

Each module is a folder. Its card — cover, description, number of lessons — is built from its pages, and nothing is listed by hand.

Authors and dates

Every lesson opens with its authors and its dates, described once in a JSON file of the version.

Components in context

Gauges for difficulty, tooltips on terms, file trees, a banner that follows the calendar.
