Config Formatting
 | 
			
		||||
-----------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The templates in this repository use metadata from the `dactyl-config.yml` file to generate a hierarchy of pages when navigating the generated site. To generate the appropriate navigation, you must include the proper fields in the page definitions. The following example shows a page with all fields provided:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
-   md: concept-authorized-trust-lines.md
 | 
			
		||||
    funnel: Docs
 | 
			
		||||
    doc_type: Concepts
 | 
			
		||||
    category: Payment System
 | 
			
		||||
    subcategory: Accounts
 | 
			
		||||
    targets:
 | 
			
		||||
        - local
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Navigation uses the fields `funnel`, `doc_type`, `category`, and `subcategory`, in that order (from broadest to most specific). At each level, the first page to have a new value is the parent or landing of that level. (For example, the parent of the "Accounts" subcategory should have the `subcategory: Accounts` field and must appear before any of its children.) For landing pages, omit the lower level fields. (For example, the "Concepts" doc_type landing should have a `doc_type` field but not a `category` field.)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Warning:** If you make a typo in one of these fields, your page may not show up in navigation or may appear in the wrong place.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
By convention, parent pages should have the same names as the hierarchy for which they are parents. (For example, the landing page for the `Payment System` category should be named `Payment System`.) The name of `md`-sourced files is automatically determined by the header in the first line of the file.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For pages that don't have markdown source content, leave out the `md` line and instead provide the following fields:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
| `name` | Human-readable page name. (Plain text only) |
 | 
			
		||||
| `html` | Output filename for the page. Should end in `.html` and be unique within the target. |
