Hello everyone,

I am trying to build a website with Franklin.jl.

One of the elements I would like to have on the website is a wiki, with all of the posts being markdown files in a certain file structure, e.g.

```julia
wiki/wiki_index.md
wiki/folder1/a_post.md
wiki/folder1/another_post.md
wiki/folder2/folder3/yet_another.md

```

Is there a way to get a navigation sidebar (e.g. like [https://franklinjl.org/](https://franklinjl.org/)) for this entire `wiki/` folder, where each subfolder becomes into a collapsible button (and nested folders become nested collapsible buttons), which when clicked lists the markdown files in that folder?

So have a navigation sidebar that allows one to traverse the tree of the `wiki/` folder basically.

Is something like that doable?

Should be! Check out @Wikunia 's website for example: [https://opensourc.es](https://opensourc.es)

You’ll want to use the “Vela” Template from FranklinTemplates.jl: [https://tlienart.github.io/FranklinTemplates.jl/](https://tlienart.github.io/FranklinTemplates.jl/)

I did something almost exactly the same in my project, [C3T](https://jacobzelko.com/C3T).
