The Documenty | Next.js Simple Web App is a pre-built solution that combines the power of Documenty and Next.js to create a simple and easy-to-use documentation website. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to set up and use the Documenty | Next.js Simple Web App, including how to create and customize your documentation website, add and organize content, and deploy your website to a production environment.

Step 1: Setting Up the Project

To get started, you will need to create a new project using the Documenty | Next.js Simple Web App. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Install the Documenty | Next.js Simple Web App using npm or yarn by running the following command:

   This will create a new directory with the basic structure for your project.

Step 2: Creating and Customizing Your Documentation Website

Once your project is set up, you can start creating and customizing your documentation website. Here are the steps:

1. Create a new file called index.md in the content directory. This file will serve as the main page for your documentation website.
2. Write your documentation content in Markdown format in the index.md file. You can use Markdown syntax to format your text, add headings, links, and images.
3. Create additional files for each section or topic you want to document. For example, if you want to document a feature, you can create a new file called feature.md in the content directory.
4. Customize the appearance and layout of your documentation website by modifying the styles.css file in the public directory.
5. Add images, icons, and other assets to your project by creating a new directory called public/assets and adding your files to it.

Step 3: Organizing and Adding Content

Once you have created and customized your documentation website, you can start organizing and adding content. Here are the steps:

1. Create a new directory called content/topics and add subdirectories for each topic or section you want to document.
2. Create a new file called topic.md in each subdirectory and write your documentation content in Markdown format.
3. Use the include directive in your Markdown files to include other Markdown files or HTML files in your documentation website.
4. Use the nav directive in your Markdown files to create a navigation menu for your documentation website.

Step 4: Deploying Your Documentation Website

Once you have created and customized your documentation website, you can deploy it to a production environment. Here are the steps:

1. Run the following command to build your documentation website:

   npx documenty-nextjs-simple-web-app build

   This will create a new directory called public with the built documentation website.

2. Deploy your documentation website to a production environment such as GitHub Pages, Vercel, or Netlify.
3. Configure your production environment to serve your documentation website.
