Can anyone check out our git repo and tell why subpages of a section are not working?

There is content/projects/citygate which contains a index.md file.  
Which translates to [https://hsbxl.be/projects/citygate](https://hsbxl.be/projects/citygate)  
So far, so good.  
Now i want have subpages of that ‘project’.  
So we can have something like  
[https://hsbxl.be/projects/citygate/kitchen](https://hsbxl.be/projects/citygate/kitchen)

Tried:

- kitchen.md
- kitchen/index.md
- kitchen/\_index.md

nothing seems to generate some page.  
I think I am missing something.

Any pointer would be appreciated.

Change `content/projects/citygate/index.md` to `_index.md`. This changes it from a leaf to a branch bundle, and allows nesting of more bundles.

great, but then it becomes a list and shows the content of list.html  
i would need it to still be a single.html

Or maybe i can have the list detect it is on which level of that section it is and show different content/menu?

That’s what a section is. But you control what is shown. So in your `list.html`, or `citygate/list.html`, just show the `.Content` and don’t list anything. It being a list page means it has a default context, but it will still show all the front matter and content you add. 🙂

allright. I did a small refactor.  
list pages are now also \_index.md pages.  
And logic from within my list.html is migrated to shortcodes.

thanks all for your help
