This site is the demo deployment of simple-photo-gallery, a fork-and-deploy photo gallery for Astro + GitHub Pages. The photographs are by Arthur Soares.
This page is a markdown file
Everything you are reading lives in src/content/pages/about.md — no
template code involved. Any markdown file dropped into src/content/pages/
becomes a standalone page at /<filename>/, rendered in the documentation
style, and (by default) linked from the site menu. The frontmatter controls
how:
| Field | Effect |
|---|---|
title | Page heading + menu label |
description | Header excerpt + meta description |
mark | The glyph in the kick line (this page uses ✶) |
nav / navLabel / order | Menu visibility, label, position |
draft | Hide the page entirely |
Standard markdown works throughout — GFM tables (like the one above), code blocks, blockquotes, images, inline HTML.
Why this exists
A photo site usually needs one or two pages that aren’t photos: an about page, a colophon, a print-purchasing note, an imprint. This mechanism keeps those in the same place as the rest of the content — plain files in the repo — instead of forcing template work for a paragraph of text.
See the documentation for the full picture, or fork the repository to start your own gallery.
