Installing SimpleDocs

The easiest way to get SimpleDocs is off the paclet server . Copy the installation code there and you’ll have a fresh new copy of SimpleDocs. For convenience I’ve duplicated that here:

<< https://paclets.github.io/PacletServer/Install.wl
PublicPacletInstall["SimpleDocs"]


(*Out:*)

Using the Palette

Rather than describing all the functions of the palette in text, I decided just to make a video. It allows me to give a better, briefer explanation.

‌

Opening a Website

There’s currently no button in the palette to open the local site that’s built out, but we can do that using the package itself, like so:

<< SimpleDocs`
SimpleDocs@"ViewLocalSite"["Tutorials"];

This will open the website we’ve built out on the local host. You can then take this website and deploy it using GitHub Pages pretty easily by feeding it into a repo. Ems is used to actually build the websites, so you can customize your website with the SiteConfig.wl file that Ems uses.
