Quick start

Make a folder for your site, and in it an index.jsx:

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
  </body>
</html>

From that folder, run:

taragen serve

Open http://localhost:8088. Edit the file and the browser reloads by itself.

Add a Markdown page, about.md:

---
title: About
---

This site is built with **taragen**.

It appears at /about. Now give every page the same frame with a root _layout.jsx:

(content) =>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>{page.title ?? "My site"}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <nav><a href="/">Home</a> <a href="/about">About</a></nav>
    <main>{content}</main>
  </body>
</html>

Remove the <html> and <body> from index.jsx, since the layout provides them now. When you're ready to publish:

taragen build

The finished site is in _public/, ready to upload to any static host.
