Writing Markdown

Evidence pages are just markdown pages. Anything you can do in a markdown page, you can do in an Evidence page.

Markdown Features

Evidence supports standard Markdown syntax. For tips, check out Markdown Guide.

Pages

Your project comes with a pages directory, which you can fill with markdown files. When you run your project, Evidence builds a webpage for each of those markdown files.

Each markdown page in your project corresponds to a URL. For example:
pages/marketing.md = localhost:3000/marketing

Add folders inside the pages directory to create sections in your project. For example:
pages/departments/marketing.md = localhost:3000/departments/marketing

Instant Preview

The Evidence development server is extraordinarily fast. When you edit text on a markdown page and save it, your webpage will update almost instantly.
