## Editing
Quartz runs on top of [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) so all notes are written in [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/).

### Obsidian
2022-01-04 16:39:22 +00:00
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.
2021-07-19 04:36:15 +00:00
2022-01-04 16:39:22 +00:00
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.
2021-07-18 19:19:58 +00:00
**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.
2022-02-17 15:44:39 +00:00
**To edit the main home page, open `/content/_index.md`.*
2021-07-18 20:40:53 +00:00
2021-07-19 04:36:15 +00:00
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**.
2021-07-18 19:19:58 +00:00
```markdown
2021-07-19 04:40:55 +00:00
For example, I want to link this current document to `notes/config.md`.
[A link to the config page](notes/config.md)
2021-07-18 20:40:53 +00:00
```
2022-02-17 15:44:39 +00:00
Similarly, you can put local images anywhere in the `/content` folder.
2022-01-04 16:39:22 +00:00
```markdown
Example image (source is in content/notes/images/example.png)
![Example Image](/content/notes/images/example.png)
```
2021-07-18 20:40:53 +00:00
### Front Matter
2022-01-04 16:39:22 +00:00
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.
2021-07-18 20:40:53 +00:00
```markdown
---
title: "Example Title"
2022-01-04 16:39:22 +00:00
tags:
- example-tag
disableToc: true # do not show a table of contents on this page if enabled
2021-07-18 20:40:53 +00:00
---
Rest of your content here...

```
## Previewing Changes
2022-01-04 16:39:22 +00:00
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.
