## Editing
|
|
Quartz runs on top of [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) so all notes are written in [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/).
|
|
|
|
### Obsidian
|
|
I recommend using [Obsidian](http://obsidian.md/) as a way to edit and grow your digital garden. It comes with a really nice editor and graphical interface to preview all of your local files.
|
|
|
|
This step is **highly recommended**.
|
|

|
### Ignoring Files
|
|
Only want to publish a subset of all of your notes? Don't worry, Quartz makes this a simple two-step process.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Folder Structure
|
|
Here's a rough overview of what's what.
|
|
|
|
**All content in your garden can found in the `/content` folder.** To make edits, you can open any of the files and make changes directly and save it. You can organize content into any folder you'd like.
|
|
|
|
**To edit the main home page, open `/content/_index.md`.** This is the home page which is slightly special. You don't need front matter here!
|
|
|
|
To create a link between notes in your garden, just create a normal link using Markdown pointing to the document in question. Please note that **all links should be relative to the root `/content` path**.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
For example, I want to link this current document to `notes/config.md`.
|
|
[A link to the config page](notes/config.md)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Similarly, you can put local images anywhere in the `/content` folder. The only caveat is that you should reference them in your Markdown by prefixing it with a `/`.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Example image (source is in content/notes/images/example.png)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Front Matter
|
|
Hugo is picky when it comes to metadata for files. Make sure that your title is double-quoted and that you have a title defined at the top of your file like so. You can also add tags here as well.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
---
|
|
title: "Example Title"
|
|
tags:
|
|
- example-tag
|
|
disableToc: true # do not show a table of contents on this page if enabled
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Rest of your content here...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Previewing Changes
|
|
This step is purely optional and mostly for those who want to see the published version of their digital garden locally before opening it up to the internet. This is *highly recommended* but not required.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
For those who like to live life more on the edge, viewing the garden through Obsidian gets you pretty close to the real thing.
|
|
|
|
## Publishing Changes
|
|
Now that you know the basics of managing your digital garden using Quartz, you can publish it to the internet!
