Getting Started

A page is one Markdown file with YAML frontmatter. The frontmatter id is derived from the path unless you write one; title, tags, and parent shape the graph. For the big picture of what Boris is, see Boris; for the ATProto publication loop, see Standard.site — the Boris/ATProto loop.

Add a page

Create content/guides/example.md:

---
title: Example
parent: index
tags: [guides]
---

# Example

Hello from [[index]].

Rebuild with boris --input content --html-dir dist --theme themes/boris and the page appears in the nav forest, the breadcrumb chain, and the frozen graph.

Frontmatter at a glance

• title — page title ({{title}}, search, and metadata).
• parent — entity id of the structural parent (this page lives under index).
• tags — free-form list rendered into page metadata.
• relations — semantic edges such as [relates_to=target]; see semantic relations.

A wiki link [[getting-started]] is a real graph edge: a link to a missing page fails the build instead of rendering as dead prose.
