`404.md` files to any directory. So, for example, if you wanted to use a special
error page for your blog, you could simply create `content/blog/404.md`.
Pico strictly separates contents of your website (the Markdown files in your
`content` directory) and how these contents should be displayed (the Twig
templates in your `themes` directory). However, not every file in your `content`
directory might actually be a distinct page. For example, some themes (including
Pico's default theme) use some special "hidden" file to manage meta data (like
`_meta.md` in Pico's sample contents). Some other themes use a `_footer.md` to
represent the contents of the website's footer. The common point is the `_`: all
files and directories prefixed by a `_` in your `content` directory are hidden.
These pages can't be accessed from a web browser, Pico will show a 404 error
page instead.
As a common practice, we recommend you to separate your contents and assets
(like images, downloads, etc.). We even deny access to your `content` directory
by default. If you want to use some assets (e.g. a image) in one of your content

Besides using the `{{ pages }}` list, you can also access pages using Pico's
page tree. The page tree allows you to iterate through Pico's pages using a tree
structure, so you can e.g. iterate just a page's direct children. It allows you
to build recursive menus (like dropdowns) and to filter pages more easily. Just

Pico makes it very easy for you to add new features to your website using
plugins. Just like Pico, you can install plugins either using [Composer][]
(e.g. `composer require phrozenbyte/pico-file-prefixes`), or manually by
uploading the plugin's file (just for small plugins consisting of a single file,
e.g. `PicoFilePrefixes.php`) or directory (e.g. `PicoFilePrefixes`) to your
`plugins` directory. We always recommend you to use Composer whenever possible,
because it makes updating both Pico and your plugins way easier. Anyway,
depending on the plugin you want to install, you may have to go through some
more steps (e.g. specifying config variables) to make the plugin work. Thus you
should always check out the plugin's docs or `README.md` file to learn the
necessary steps.
