Great!
You've just initialized a MarkBind site.

Let's get started...

--- ## What just happened? You have just initialized a _default_ MarkBind site! It is equipped with a set of core features, including site and page navigation. Additionally, we have included some convenient links to our User Guide, to help you get started quickly and easily. If you were intending to convert an existing GitHub wiki or a docs folder into MarkBind, use the `--convert` flag instead. See User Guide: MarkBind in the Project Workflow for more information. If you want to start with a _minimal_ template instead, use the `--template` flag with the "minimal" option to initialize a minimal site instead of the default. See User Guide: Templates for more information. --- ## Navigating this site This _default_ site comes pre-configured with the core Navigation components: a **siteNav**, a **pageNav**, a **NavBar**, and a **Search Bar**. To help you get started with the **siteNav**, we have included five dummy placeholder pages. The **NavBar** also comes with a placeholder slot for your custom Logo. --- ## Guide to MarkBind To see the capability of MarkBind in action, feel free to take a look at some of the websites built using MarkBind on our Showcase page.
