Two display mode

Azeroth has 2 display mode: Live Markdown and Static HTML.

If you point your browser to http://yoursite.com/#/slugged-post-name, Live Markdown mode will be used to render HTML content directly from Markdown file.

One problem of Live Markdown is: it's unable to display the content when you share the site on social networks like Facebook or Twitter. To solve this issue, we use Static HTML. After generating static HTML content, you can access your post at http://yoursite.com/posts/slugged-post-name

How to generate Static HTML

Run this script in your root folder:

node generator.js

The script will automatically convert all

*.md

/posts

*.html

Now you can list your HTML pages in

home.md
