Example Lurch Site Landing Page

What's a Lurch Site?

Read the answer here. This Lurch Site is an example to help you learn how to create your own.

What is this page?

This is a simple landing page to show you how to create a landing page in your Lurch Site. Feel free to copy it (code) as a starting point.

To add such a page to your site, just place any .html file in the root folder of your Lurch Site repository. The page that loads by default when a user visits your site is index.html, like this one. But you can create multiple pages with links among them if you need.

For more information on what's possible with GitHub web hosting, see here.

What should my pages say?

Anything you like! We suggest three things.

1. Describe your Lurch Site

Which course or audience it is designed for? Who is the instructor?

How much of this you include and in what style is totally up to you.

2. Link to the app

Provide a link to the copy of the Lurch app that's hosted within the site. See the URLs used below as examples.

The links above use the config query parameter. To learn more about what that means, see the README file in this example repository's configuration folder.

3. Link to your documents

Provide links to open one or more of the mathematical documents within the site, opening them in the copy of the Lurch app that's hosted within the site.

We suggest putting such files in the /math folder that's already been created in this site for that purpose. If you do so, then links to your file look like the examples below.

The links above use the load query parameter. You can use that parameter together with the config parameter mentioned earlier, as in ?config=X&load=Y.
