## Hello world

Let's create our first content file for your documentation. Open a terminal and add the following command for each new file you want to add. Replace `<section-name>` with a general term that describes your document in detail.

```sh
hugo new <section-name>/filename.md
```

Visitors of your website will find the final document under `www.example.com/<section-name>/filename/`.

Since it's possible to have multiple content files in the same section I recommend to create at least one `index.md` file per section. This ensures that users will find an index page under `www.example.com/<section-name>`.

## Homepage

To add content to the homepage you need to add a small indicator to the frontmatter of the content file:

```toml
type: index
```

Otherwise the theme will not be able to find the corresponding content file.

## Table of contents

You maybe noticed that the menu on the left contains a small table of contents of the current page. All `<h2>` tags (`## Headline` in Markdown) will be added automatically.

## Admonitions

Admonition is a handy feature that adds block-styled side content to your documentation, for example hints, notes or warnings. It can be enabled by using the corresponding [shortcodes](http://gohugo.io/extras/shortcodes/) inside your content:

```go
{{</* note title="Note" */>}}
Nothing to see here, move along.
{{</* /note */>}}
```

This will print the following block:

{{< note title="Note" >}}
Nothing to see here, move along.
{{< /note >}}

The shortcode adds a neutral color for the note class and a red color for the warning class. You can also add a custom title:

```go
{{</* warning title="Don't try this at home" */>}}
Nothing to see here, move along.
{{</* /warning */>}}
```

This will print the following block:

{{< warning title="Don't try this at home" >}}
Nothing to see here, move along.
{{< /warning >}}
