I am starting to move the static part of my own site off a CMS onto a static site on my own server and domain. I like the idea of separating content and boilerplate with a static site generator, but markdown is not a good fit for me: I have a lot of parallel-text editions (-> tables), superscript and subscript, and so on.
Under the techdoc theme, I have a folder:
/content/documents
|_index.md
|01cousturiersParis.md
When I run hugo server and have markup: md in the YAML header of 01cousturiersParis.md, I see:
So the content of the page is missing
when I set markup: html in the YAML header, the content is visible but below the sidebar not beside it. I am not allowed to embed the image but see https://bookandsword.files.wordpress.com/2021/03/screenshot_2021-03-06-rule-of-the-cousturiers-of-paris-md-fashion-in-the-age-of-datini1.png
What is going wrong? I thought you can embed all the usual HTML tags in a markdown file just by typing them like normal.
I don’t have a GitHub repository for the code because I am still experimenting to see whether hugo is right for me. The core of the site is from the techdoc theme and I quote 01cousturiersParis.md below.
