A basic Cryogen site usually looks something like this: (New files may be added in the future)

| File/Dir | Description |
|---|---|
public | This is where the generated site will go (by default) once Cryogen is done compiling your content. This can be configured in config.edn |
content | The main folder where all your Markdown/AsciiDoc content and other resources will go. |
themes | This directory contains themes that you may apply to your site. You may use a theme by specifying its name under the theme key in config.edn. |
content/config.edn | Configuration data for your site. |
content/asc | If you are using AsciiDoc then keep your content here. |
content/md | If you are using Markdown then keep your content here. |
pages | The root folder for all your custom Markdown/Asciidoc pages. This folder name can be changed in config.edn. |
posts | The root folder for all your post content in Markdown/Asciidoc. This folder name can also be changed. |
content/img | The default directory to place images. |
themes/{theme}/css | Pretty self explanatory. Put your theme's css files here |
themes/{theme}/html | These are the templates that wrap posts and pages. Layouts are selected on a post-by-post basis and content gets injected by Selmer. |
themes/{theme}/js | Also self explanatory. The theme's JavaScript files go here. |
src/cryogen | Contains the core and server. |
project.clj | Your typical project file for a Clojure project. |
The html templates use Selmer which can extend other templates. Most html templates extend off of base.html. The following diagram gives an overview of the Cryogen Selmer hierachy.
Markdown/AsciiDoc content is injected into their specified layout files and then injected into the base html layout to create each page of your site.
