Getting Started

Welcome to ChipaDocs, the documentation hub for Chipa Trade. This page covers how the site itself is built, so you can find your way around and contribute new pages.

How this site works

ChipaDocs is built with Zola, a fast static site generator written in Rust. Content lives under content/ as Markdown files and is compiled to static HTML on every deploy — there’s no database and no runtime to manage beyond the web server.

  • Templates (templates/) control layout and are written in Tera, Zola’s templating language.
  • Static assets (static/) — like style.css — are copied as-is into the published site.
  • Deploys are automatic: a systemd path watcher rebuilds the site with zola build whenever content/, templates/, static/, or config.toml changes.

Adding a page

  1. Create a new Markdown file under content/docs/, e.g. content/docs/my-page.md.

  2. Add front matter with a title and a weight (controls sidebar order):

    +++
    title = "My Page"
    weight = 3
    +++
  3. Write the page content below the front matter in Markdown.

  4. Commit and push — the deployed build service picks up the change and rebuilds automatically.

To add a whole new section (for example, docs for a new product), create a directory with its own _index.md — see the Overview page for the full pattern.

Local preview

zola serve

Then open http://127.0.0.1:1111 in your browser. Zola live-reloads as you edit content, templates, or styles.

Where to go next

  • Browse the BinaryOptionsToolsV2 docs for a fully worked example of a product documentation section.
  • Read the Overview to understand how sections and weights fit together.
