Content management reference
Overview
At a high level, HyperTemplates attempts to be unopinionated about the structure of HTML content and layouts. The core specification is primarily concerned with HTML templates (layouts) and template data (content) as inputs, which are used to generate individual web pages (HTML documents) as outputs. When it comes to building web sites (collections of HTML documents), a more opinionated approach to content management is required.
The HyperTexting CMS
The content management system used by hyperctl is called HyperTexting.
This reference documents the HyperTexting building blocks, including: websites, authors, pages, assets, attachments, tags, feeds, and namespaces.
