Problem

The index.html file was corrupted with duplicate HTML content, causing rendering issues on the GitHub Pages site. The file contained two complete HTML documents merged together:

  1. A clean landing page (lines 25-138)
  2. A full Quarto-generated document (lines 139-2855) that was accidentally appended

This resulted in:

  • Duplicate navigation elements and content interfering with the layout
  • A massive 2,855-line file with conflicting styles and JavaScript
  • Poor user experience with extra unwanted content below the intended landing page

Solution

Extracted the clean landing page HTML and removed all corrupted content:

  • Removed malformed HTML at the beginning (lines 1-24)
  • Preserved the clean landing page content (lines 25-138)
  • Removed the entire extra Quarto document (lines 139-2855)
  • Reduced file size by 96% (from 2,855 lines to 113 lines)

Result

The page now displays as intended:

  • Clean, professional landing page layout
  • Two properly working course buttons in the header
  • Well-designed course cards with "Open Material →" buttons
  • No duplicate or interfering content
  • All links working correctly

Before vs After

Before: Corrupted page with duplicate content

After: Clean landing page

The fix ensures the landing page serves its intended purpose as a clean entry point to the course materials without any rendering issues or unwanted content.
