An example template with best-practices that you can use to start drafting a new how-to document.
Use this template if you are creating a new page in an existing folder. If you
are creating a new folder, you must also create the _index.md
. For more
information, see the _index.md
template instructions.

Hugo uses a set of metadata at the beginning of each page called frontmatter to define website build required info as well as other blog page details.
Frontmatter is strict YAML syntax and must be added to the top of every page. Example formatting template:
---
title: ""
#linkTitle: ""
weight: 50
type: "docs"
---
<!--
# This section is called the "frontmatter" for your page that is defined in YAML.
title: ""
# The title of this page (renders at the top of the page). Use sentence case.
linkTitle: ""
# Optional: Use it to provide a shorter title for the page link so that it fits
# in the left navigation menu (to prevent wrapping)
weight: ""
# This specifies the vertical the placement of the page link in the left
# navigation menu. Pages are ordered from top (lowest weight) to bottom (highest weight).
type: "docs"
# You won't need to update this.
aliases:
- /docs/example/redirect/moved-renamed-page
- /docs/another-example
# Optional: Specifies a URL to redirect to this page.
# For example, has this page moved (are you replacing one or more deleted pages)?
# If yes, include the aliases frontmatter and specify the prior location of the
# page(s)/path(s) to redirect to this page. Specify the path and filename starting
# from the site root (for example /docs/, /blog/, or /community/).
-->
<!-- The page title you set in the frontmatter renders here (don't add a duplicate title) -->
Learn how to do something very cool.
<!--
Make sure to state the goal of this **task-oriented
content** and the value proposition for the user (why is this important?).
Example:
Learn how to use X to reduce/improve/etc. your Y and Z.
Generally, make sure you answer the questions:
- "what does this guide show you how to do?"
- "why would someone want to do this?"
-->
<!--
State all the requirements in this section of the document.
Define any assumptions made (avoid tripping up the user and distracting them
from the Knative feature you are trying to explain).
This is where you get past any of the non-Knative items so that you can focus on
Knative-specific stuff below. For example:
-->
To complete the steps in this task, you must ..... meet/have/install/create/? the following:
- A Kubernetes cluster with Knative installed.
- The latest version of ... running?
- Privileges to .....
- Any other requirement?
<!--
Avoid nesting headings directly on top of each other without text/explanation/context between.
-->
Introductory statement to define the goal of these steps and the role they play in this document (why its important?):
-
Use ordered lists for steps.
-
Use bulleted lists for options:
- Sub step one
- Sub step two
-
Option two:
Explain the value of why a user would choose this option.
-
-
Step number two.
-
Step number three.
<!--

Introductory statement to define the goal of this sub-task and why its important:
<!--
Put code into code blocks.
Markdown formatting: Use spaces, not tabs to indent code blocks, and leave one
blank line before and after the block. Examples:
-->
<!--
1. Here's a code snippet:
```bash
kubectl apply --filename test.yaml
```-->
<!--
1. Another inline code snippet with the `kubectl apply` command.
-->
<!--
If this "how-to" guide installs a sample application, creates and runs resources that might cost unnecessary fees, you should show the user how to delete or remove.
-->
Run the following command to stop/remove/avoid running this example and prevent incurring fees from your cloud provider/your cluster/etc.
<!--
Link to relevant topics, if applicable. Once someone has
completed these steps, what might they want to do next?
Remember to keep it focused and targeted, too many links are not as useful.

## Before you begin
<!--
State all the requirements in this this section of the document.
Define any assumptions made (avoid tripping up the user and distracting them from the Knative feature you are trying to explain).
This is where you get past any of the non-Knative items so that you can focus on Knative-specific stuff below. For example:
-->
To complete the steps in this task, you must ..... meet/have/install/create/? the following:
- A Kubernetes cluster with [Knative installed](./docs/install/).
<!-- Make sue to use relative links. -->
- The latest version of ... running?
- Privileges to .....
- Any other requirement?
## Break steps into logical sections
<!--
Avoid nesting headings directly on top of each other without text/explanation/context between.
-->
Introductory statement to define the goal of these steps and the role they play in this document (why its important?):
1. Use ordered lists for steps.
* Use bulleted lists for options:
1. Sub step one
1. Sub step two
* Option two:
Explain the value of why a user would choose this option.
1. Step number two.
1. Step number three.
### Use a sub-section to group related sub-tasks
<!--

Introductory statement to define the goal of this sub-task and why its important:
<!--
Put code into code blocks.

## Cleaning up
<!--
If this "how-to" guide installs a sample application, creates and runs resources that might cost unnecessary fees, you should show the user how to delete or remove.

Run the following command to stop/remove/avoid running this example and prevent incurring fees from your cloud provider/your cluster/etc.
## What's next

completed these steps, what might they want to do next?
