# Read Me

### Create, Share and Collaborate using Grav Open Publishing Space!

1. Create a new [Git](https://git-scm.com/) repository (hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/), [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/), [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/) or your own server) with at least one commit.
2. Set up Git Sync in the Admin Panel for step-by-step instructions – on Grav 2 it has its own [Git Sync](https://demo.hibbittsdesign.org/grav-open-publishing-quark-quides/admin/plugin/git-sync) menu item, and on Grav 1.7 it's under Plugins → [Git Sync](https://demo.hibbittsdesign.org/grav-open-publishing-quark-quides/admin/plugins/git-sync).
3. Configure the [Git Sync Link](https://demo.hibbittsdesign.org/grav-open-publishing-quark-quides/admin/themes/mytheme) settings in the Theme options to change the display and functionality of the automatically displayed Git Sync Link.

### Embed Open Publishing Space Page Content into Other Systems

By adding the URL parameter (i.e. flag) `chromeless:true` to any Open Publishing Space page you can display that page's content without the global header image, site navigation bar, sidebar and footer - a great way to seamlessly embed Open Publishing Space pages into other systems.

For example, the URL <https://demo.hibbittsdesign.org/grav-open-publishing-quark2/> displays the site's home page with the full site around it, but the URL <https://demo.hibbittsdesign.org/grav-open-publishing-quark2/chromeless:true> will only display that page's content. Any links between Open Publishing Space pages will result in pages being displayed in the same manner.

### Get Any Page as Markdown (Grav 2 Version)

On Grav 2.1 and newer, the "This page as Markdown (.md)" link below a page's content gets that page as Markdown, ready to reuse – the same as adding `.md` to the page's address, for example `/blog/hero-classes.md`, or `/index.md` for the home page. The link's settings are under **Reuse Pages as Markdown** in **Themes → My Theme**, and Grav's Markdown output can be turned off in **Configuration → System → Content**.

### More Than One Guide

To see a site with more than one guide, publish the example **Guides** page and **Sample Guide** (set their 'Published' option to 'Yes' in the [Admin Pages panel](https://demo.hibbittsdesign.org/grav-open-publishing-quark-quides/admin/pages)). The Guides page shows a card for each guide on the site. To use it as the home page, as in Grav Helios Open Reader, set **Home Page** to `/guides` in **Configuration → System**, and turn on **Hide from Menu** (on the **Advanced** tab) on each guide's home page to leave the guides out of the menu.

### What Else Can the Open Publishing Space do for You?
