> How to build documentation with Vitrine, from installing it to examples that run on the page.

Vitrine is a theme for [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), the static site generator. You write pages in Markdown, Hugo turns
them into a website, and Vitrine decides how that website looks and works: the tabs, the sidebar, code blocks, live
examples and the rest.

These docs are built with Vitrine itself. If you're new, start with [Getting started](getting-started/). The
[reference](reference/) lists every setting, front matter key and shortcode in one place.
