Front matter for guide documents

Each chapter in a guide constitutes a markdown document. In order to handle languages and translations and to relate the document with a specific guide and a couple of [YAML Frontmatter] rules need to be in place. Note that the front matter described here is subject to slight changees with the ongoing site build.

Example front matter for a guide chapter:

layout: doc
title: Moving Forward
permalink: /en/beginner/moving-forward
lang: en
category: beginner

Explanation:

• layout must be doc
• title is the plain title of the document, must not be repeated in the document's body
• permalink is the path to the document, must contain the language prefix (en in this case)
• lang is the language prefix of the document and must be the same as in permalink. This is redundant with permalink for Jekyll specific reasons.
• category contains the guide's shortname (beginner in this case)
