Platen Template

This project provides a temporary transitional template for the adoption of Platen until the theme is properly published as a plugin for Gatsby.

To use this theme, first create a new project using this template. Clone the repository down locally and open the folder in your preferred text editor.

You will want to edit (at least) the following files:

• gatsby-config.js: update the siteMetadata key to update the name, description, and author of the site
• content/admin/header-links.mdx to update any header links and add new links to the Books section
• content/authors to replace the default author with your own and add any additional team members
• csv to add any data files for tables you want to include as automatically-rollable tables; can do do in subfolders if desired
• content/books/template to rename this per your own work, add new chapters in numbered subfolders, update the metadata in content/books/template.mdx to reflect your work, and replace feature.jpg with the appropriate cover image.
• content/pages to update the index, contact, and books files per your own needs and/or add new files/remove some entirely.

Local Development Workflow

For right now, you'll want to follow Gatsby's own documentation for setting up your development environment - though instead of creating a new site, you'll just run the commands from within the template you cloned down.

Deploying to Netlify

Luckily, Netlify also has docs to help us with this step.
