<h2>Getting Started</h2>
<p>
This is demo content to help you understand how FolderWeb works. To replace it with your own content:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a <code>/content</code> folder in your project root</li>
<li>Add your content files (<code>.md</code>, <code>.html</code>, or <code>.php</code>)</li>
<li>This demo will automatically disappear</li>
</ol>
<h2>Core Concepts</h2>
<h3>File-Based Routing</h3>
<p>
Drop a file in a folder and it's instantly accessible at a URL matching that path.
Your folder structure becomes your URL structure.
</p>
<h3>Multiple Content Types</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Markdown</strong> - Write in <code>.md</code> files, automatically converted to HTML</li>
<li><strong>HTML</strong> - Pure HTML files for complete control</li>
<li><strong>PHP</strong> - Dynamic content when you need it</li>
</ul>
<h3>Smart Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Metadata</strong> - Use <code>metadata.ini</code> files for titles, dates, summaries</li>
<li><strong>Date extraction</strong> - Folder names like <code>2025-11-01-title</code> automatically show dates</li>
<li><strong>Cover images</strong> - Add <code>cover.jpg</code> for list view thumbnails</li>
<li><strong>Templates</strong> - Custom templates in <code>/custom/templates/</code> override defaults</li>
</ul>
