Th' Relearrrn theme provides archetypes t' create skeletons fer yer website. Begin by creat'n yer first chapter plank wit' th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind chapter basics/_index.md

By open'n th' given file, ye should see th' property chapter=true on top, mean'n this plank be a chapter.

By default all chapters an' planks be created as a draft. If ye want t' render these planks, remove th' property draft: true from th' metadata.

Create yer first rrrambl'n planks

Then, create rrrambl'n planks inside th' previously created chapter. Here be two ways t' create rrrambl'n 'n th' chapter:

hugo new basics/first-content.md
hugo new basics/second-content/_index.md

Feel free t' edit those files by add'n some sample rrrambl'n an' replac'n th' title value 'n th' beginn'n o' th' files.
