Inside of your Astro + Starlight project, you'll see the following folders and files:
.

Starlight looks for .md
or .mdx
files in the src/content/docs/
directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name.
Images can be added to src/assets/
and embedded in Markdown with a relative link.
Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the public/
directory.
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

- Create a new
.mdx
file in thesrc/content/docs/
directory. - Add the frontmatter to the top of the file. Here is an example:
---
title: "New Guide"
description: "This is a new guide"
template: doc # This is the template for the guide, you can use `doc` or `splash`
---
- Add the content to the file.
- (Optional) Add the link to the guide in the
src/content/docs/index.mdx
file. - Update the listing in
astro.config.mjs
to include the new guide.
