Guide

The concepts behind Canary, not just the commands. If you want a quick answer instead, see Reference.

• Render Modes — hybrid vs static, and what actually differs between them.
• Widgets — the built-in downloads/slideshow widgets, writing your own, and the !url tag.
• Content Toolchain — per-page markdown preprocessing without copy-pasting boilerplate into every file.
• Publishing — canary publish and the publish config field.
• Incremental Builds — how canary build/canary serve stay fast without a stale-cache class of bugs.
• Why Canary — the pitch, and the origin story.
