Adding a New Book

1. Create the folder and files

data/
  romans/
    overview.md
    1/
      guide.md

2. Register it in data/index.json

{
  "books": [
    {
      "id": "romans",
      "name": "Romans",
      "testament": "NT",
      "chapters": [
        { "id": "1", "title": "Chapter 1 — The Gospel of God" },
        { "id": "2", "title": "Chapter 2 — God's Righteous Judgment" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

• id must match the folder name exactly (lowercase, no spaces).
• testament is optional ("OT" or "NT"). When present, the sidebar splits into Old / New Testament sections.
• chapters is an array of objects. Add each chapter after you write its guide.

Search

The search bar (or Ctrl/Cmd + K) searches all registered books and chapter titles from index.json. It does not search file content — only titles.

Notes

• No build step required. Everything runs in the browser.
• Markdown is rendered client-side via marked.js.
• The site fetches files with fetch() — this works on GitHub Pages but not from a local file:// path. Use a local server (e.g., python3 -m http.server) for local testing.
