Guide

You are reading a doc-site that documents itself. The site you are browsing right now is the template — every page is both the manual for the scaffold and a live demonstration of how it organizes content.

What this template gives you

• Zero dependencies. Pure Python standard library — no pip, no npm, no build step. If you have python3, you can run it.
• Filesystem-driven nav. Each directory under docs/pages/ becomes a tab; each .html file becomes a page. Drop a file in, it appears.
• Author content, not chrome. You write a <main class="doc-body"> block; the wrap script regenerates the header, sidebar, breadcrumbs, on-this-page TOC, and footer for you.
• Live-reload dev server. A stdlib HTTP server watches the tree and pushes a browser reload over Server-Sent Events when anything changes.
• One config file for branding (docs/_site.json) and one per tab for nav (_tab.json).

Where to go next

1. Installation — get the template running locally.
2. Quick Start — make your first edits.
3. Why this pattern — the rationale in one page.
4. Conventions — the operating rules you'll reference daily.
