Site Structure

The site structure documents the directory and file structure of the TSAP repository. Understanding the structure helps contributors find the right place for new content, assets, and configuration.

The repository is hosted on GitHub and built with Jekyll. Most directories map directly to sections of the live site; others are Jekyll-specific and do not appear as pages.

Jekyll System Directories

These directories are used by Jekyll internally and are not published as pages directly.

`_data`

Stores structured data files in YAML, JSON, or CSV format. Jekyll makes these available to templates via the site.data variable. Used for things like navigation menus, author lists, or reusable reference data. View on GitHub

`_includes`

Contains reusable HTML snippets inserted into layouts or pages via Jekyll’s include tag. Common includes are headers, footers, and navigation components. View on GitHub

`_layouts`

Contains HTML layout templates that wrap page content. TSAP pages use layout: default, which refers to _layouts/default.html. View on GitHub

Notes for TSAP Contributors

New content pages should be placed in the most specific matching directory (e.g., a biography goes in sunil/ or amaa/, not in articles/).
Do not place draft content in published directories; use sandbox/ instead.
Asset files should always go into assets/ with an appropriate subdirectory; never store images inside content directories.
Changes to _config.yml affect the entire site build and should be made with care.
Follow the TSAP Manual of Style for all content pages.
