      "title": "Introducing the Marmite Playground",
      "content_html": "<p>The <strong>Marmite Playground</strong> is now live at <a href=\"https://play.marmite.blog\">play.marmite.blog</a>.</p>\n<p>It is an interactive web application where you can try marmite without installing\nanything. Open the playground, write some markdown, and see your site rendered\ninstantly in the preview panel.</p>\n<p>Whether you are evaluating marmite for the first time or want a quick scratchpad\nto test a feature, the playground is the fastest way to get started.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"#how-it-works\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"anchor\" id=\"how-it-works\"></a>How It Works</h2>\n<p>The playground gives you a split-pane interface: a code editor on the left and a\nlive site preview on the right. You get a full marmite project out of the box\nwith sample content, configuration, and a working site.</p>\n<p>Every edit you make triggers an automatic rebuild. Change a markdown file, tweak\nthe <code>marmite.yaml</code> configuration, or add a new CSS file, and the preview updates\nwithin seconds.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"#what-you-can-do\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"anchor\" id=\"what-you-can-do\"></a>What You Can Do</h2>\n<p><strong>Edit content</strong> - The editor opens with a getting started guide that covers\nmarmite's content model (posts, pages, and fragments), frontmatter fields,\nand markdown extensions like math, mermaid diagrams, alerts, and task lists.\nYou can create new content files, rename them, or delete them.</p>\n<p><strong>Tweak configuration</strong> - The seed <code>marmite.yaml</code> includes every configuration\nfield as a commented reference. Uncomment what you need, change the site name,\nenable search, switch colorschemes, or configure authors and streams.</p>\n<p><strong>Customize templates and styles</strong> - Add files to the <code>templates/</code> and <code>static/</code>\nfolders to override the default theme. The new file dialog includes helpful\nreferences with links to the template and content documentation.</p>\n<p><strong>Switch editor themes</strong> - The status bar at the bottom of the editor panel has a\ntheme selector with light and dark options (Dracula, Solarized Light, Cobalt,\nand more). This is independent from the marmite site colorscheme, which you\ncontrol via <code>marmite.yaml</code>.</p>\n<p><strong>Download your work</strong> - The Download button lets you export either the source\nproject (your markdown, config, and templates as a <code>.tar.gz</code>) or the rendered\nsite (the generated HTML, ready to deploy). Upload a <code>.tar.gz</code> or <code>.zip</code> to\nimport an existing marmite project into the playground.</p>\n<p><strong>Share your session</strong> - Every playground session has a unique URL. Share it\nwith someone and they can view your site and browse your files in read-only mode.\nThey can also clone the session to get their own editable copy.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"#session-lifetime\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"anchor\" id=\"session-lifetime\"></a>Session Lifetime</h2>\n<p>Each session lives for one hour after the last file edit. After that, the session\nand all its files are automatically removed. If you want to keep your work,\nuse the Download button to export the source project before the session expires.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"#try-it-now\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"anchor\" id=\"try-it-now\"></a>Try It Now</h2>\n<p>Open <a href=\"https://play.marmite.blog\">play.marmite.blog</a> and start building. The\nplayground comes pre-loaded with example content that demonstrates marmite's\nfeatures, including mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, GitHub-style alerts, and\nshortcodes.</p>\n<p>If you already have a marmite project, upload it to the playground to preview\nit or test it against the latest version of marmite.</p>\n<p>For the full documentation, visit <a href=\"https://marmite.blog/docs.html\">marmite.blog/docs</a>.</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Please consider giving a ☆ on Marmite <a href=\"https://github.com/rochacbruno/marmite\">Github</a> repository, that helps a lot!</p>\n</blockquote>\n<!-- Contents from _markdown_footer.md are appended to every content -->\n<!-- _references.md is a file to gather all references together \nthis file is appended to every raw markdown.\n-->\n",
