Creating non-blog page from markdown

[apryor6]

I'm building a portfolio with this theme that consists of projects that I write as blog posts in markdown. That works great, but I also want to build other permanent pages, like a publications page, with the same theme. How can I write a page in markdown and have Jekyll convert it to HTML in the same way as a blog post, but without including it as such?

Instead of creating a post, you should create a new page. Just create a folder with the url of your page and inside it, a file named ìndex.md.

For example, to create a page at <your-site-url>/mypage creates the file mypage/index.md and adds the page content.

(Take a look in the about page here: https://github.com/aron-bordin/neo-hpstr-jekyll-theme/blob/master/about/index.md)

Sorry, where specifically do I make this folder? I tried making it in the
same folder as _config.yml but get a 404 upon using my link to the new page
(it also doesn't have an .html associated in the generate _site)

The demo source code has the about page (http://aronbordin.com/neo-hpstr-jekyll-theme/about/), check the about folder in the root directory, and inside it you have the index.md. Just create the new folder in the root of the site source, and then add the name of the folder to the url. (See, the about folder created the /about/ page.

I got it working, thanks very much. It's a great theme.
