Folder where all the HTML pages are located. The pages here form a demo static site, mostly equivalent to the online demo (HTML source not minified and CDNs are not used here).
If you don't need to make any changes to the theme, you're good to go. All of the theme's CSS files are also pre-generated for you, so you can start connecting the theme to your app or a CMS of your choice.
You can open any of the files in your browser to see it in action, or modify their markup or content to suit your needs.
If you will be using Gulp and HTML combination ( gulp dev-html and gulp build-html ) to help you with your work, these HTML files would be used by Gulp during the development.
HTML folder also includes these subfolders:
English
German
French/css - main theme stylesheet (style.default.css) and its minified counterpart./docs - documentation you are reading now/icons - custom SVG icon sprite + its reference doc/fonts/img - Images for demo purposes./js - JavaScript files/vendor - 3rd party scripts and plugins - AOS, Bootstrap, jQuery, Masonry, etc.Folder where all the Pug source files are located. Editing Pug files is now the recommended method to work with this theme.
With the extensive usage of mixins, includes and layouts, you will avoid repetitive tasks you would need to do if working with HTML source. E.g., if you change the navbar, the change will be applied in all your pages, unlike when developing with HTML, where you would need to do the same change in every file.
