Notes leave the vault in three shapes. ntropy render turns one note into
a typeset PDF, or into the Typst document behind it. ntropy render --to html turns one note into a standalone web page with a files directory
beside it, the way a browser saves a page. ntropy site turns the whole
vault, or the subset a query selects, into a static website that any file
host serves and a browser opens straight from disk.
Rendering to PDF and HTML
covers the render command, its three formats, and how rendered notes
link to each other. Document themes
is about the look of a PDF: a Typst file in the vault that redefines the
page, the callouts, the note links, and the checkboxes, and the paper size.
Exporting a website
covers the site command, the pages it writes, and how the site table
in a note's frontmatter and the [site] config shape the sidebar.
Site themes is the contract a
theme author writes against: the stylesheet's custom properties, fonts,
icons, the page markup, and the templates. The same theme styles the
website and the standalone HTML page.
