Sections

Automatic section discovery and processing

sukr automatically discovers sections from your content directory structure.

What is a Section?

A section is any directory under content/ that contains an _index.md file:

content/
├── _index.md           # Homepage (not a section)
├── about.md            # Standalone page
├── blog/               # ← This is a section
│   ├── _index.md       # Section index
│   └── my-post.md      # Section content
└── projects/           # ← This is also a section
    ├── _index.md
    └── project-a.md

Section Discovery

sukr automatically:

  1. Scans content/ for directories with _index.md
  2. Collects all .md files in that directory (excluding _index.md)
  3. Renders the section index template with the items
  4. Renders individual content pages (for blog-type sections)

Section Types

The section type determines which template is used. It's resolved in order:

  1. Frontmatter override: section_type: blog in _index.md
  2. Directory name: content/blog/ → type blog

Built-in Section Types

Type Behavior
blog Sorts by date (newest first), renders individual posts
projects Sorts by weight, card-style listing
(other) Sorts by weight, uses default template

Section Frontmatter

In _index.md:

---
title: My Blog
description: Thoughts and tutorials
section_type: blog # Optional, defaults to directory name
weight: 1 # Nav order
---

Adding a New Section

  1. Create directory: content/recipes/
  2. Create index: content/recipes/_index.md
  3. Add content: content/recipes/pasta.md
  4. Optionally create template: templates/section/recipes.html

That's it. sukr handles the rest.
