Re: Can index.html be made the default page?

[Mortimer Cladwell]

Thanks Nala.

That will work for the first page but what if the user is navigating the help pages? Every page has a sidebar with categories and tags which are all hyperlinks to a directory. Each page has embedded hyperlinks to other pages. As the user browses, I would have to intercept all mouse clicks to process the URL.

Looks like Hexo provides the option of including the index.html.  Does not work for tags and categories but there may be a possible hack.

Thanks

Mortimer

Hi Mortimer!
Currently, you may do it like this:
--------------------code--------------------
(help-define "about" (view-render "index" (the-environment)))
--------------------end---------------------

I don't have a better idea to do it automatically, since
`the-environment` has to be captured inside the handler function. So you
can't define a function to render index template. But if you define it
as a macro, you can't pass it in.

I'm open with a better idea.

Best regards.
