Hexo the New Command

Hexo new [layout] {title}

Creates a new page for the website.

Where :

• [Layout] (which is optional) can have one of following values:

  • Post - path is source/_posts
  • Page - page is source
  • Draft - path is source/_drafts ** Use this version. It creates a page that you will use later.

• {title}

  • use quotes if you have spaces
  • Use proper casing “hexo notes” shows up as header 1 when published
  • for multiword titles surround the text in Quotes -

For example:

hexo new draft “hexo notes”

Use the markdown language. Do not use header 1, the hexo server presents the title this way

What happened is it created a file in the _drafts folder named “hexo-notes.md”

Editing a draft

notepad source/_drafts/{title}

Editing something that has been published

notepad source/_posts/{title}

For example:

notepad "source/_drafts/Hexo Notes.md"

Dont forget to use the Publish function to publish the page.
