Hello, Pages! Theme

Easy 1-2-3 Publishing

Thanks to the new plugins for easy publishing, namely Optional Front Matter, README Index, Default Layout, and Titles from Headings you can now publish pages, that is, static (web)sites on GitHub without any configuration (that is, _config.yml) or front matter blocks (that is, --- … ---) in your markdown documents and your README.md will become the index.html front page of your site.

Relative Links

Thanks to the Relative Links plugin, you can link to markdown source files and GitHub Pages automatically changes the link to hypertext (.html) when published e.g.

[Page Two](/hello-pages-theme/two.html)  
        becomes =>
<a href="two.html">Page Two</a>

Try it. Follow along to Page Two or to Page Three.
