Specifying UTF-8 encoding? #91
-
|
I've just started trying out this tool today and am impressed thus far.

@Foxtrek64 Thanks for the assistance on this one! @codeconscious You're doing it fine :). The "quick start" instructions on https://www.statiq.dev/web/ get you up and running with a console app, but we don't want to make any assumptions about your layout, so the "default" site is fairly simple - it has support for things like blog posts but no layout files (like what @Foxtrek64 referred to). A lot of folks end up either creating their own layouts using Razor or make use of an entire theme like CleanBlog (this is the only pre-canned theme at the moment, but more are planned). In both cases, the file being used for the layout can be specified as a setting, either in a
