This repository hosts NLP1's github pages.
You can add a page by adding a markdown file to the root of the repository. This file stards with a header
---
layout: default
title: New Page
menu: yes

where you specify a title for the page and whether or not it appears in the menu from the main page index.md. The default layout is typically what you need.
The rest of this file is just standard markdown syntax, for example

To modify the syllabus you do not need to edit syllabus.md directly, instead you need to add an record to a database of lectures. You will find one under nlp1/_data/2018/lectures.yml. This is just a yaml file with records indicated by a dash, each record is essentially a dictionary of key-value pairs. The keys there are rendered nicely by a template specified in _includes/lecture.html. You will hardly need to touch the template.
I left an example lecture, so you can see how to add your own. To make sure your lecture gets rendered you need to provide selected: y as opposed to selected: n.
If you need to add resources such as pdfs, latex filex, data, add to the folder nlp1/resources and link it from a certain page.
