Demo: Hide Sidebar

Live demonstration of the hide_sidebar frontmatter option.

This page demonstrates the hide_sidebar: true frontmatter option. Notice that the left sidebar is hidden — the content is centered in a narrower container for a focused reading experience.

What’s Happening

The left sidebar navigation is hidden on this page. Here is the frontmatter used:

---
title: "Demo: Hide Sidebar"
hide_sidebar: true
hide_toc: false
---

Table of Contents Still Visible

The table of contents on the right side is still visible, providing quick access to sections on this page. Only the left sidebar is affected.

Mobile Navigation

On mobile devices, the hamburger menu still provides full navigation access. The hide_sidebar option only affects the desktop sidebar.

When to Use

Use hide_sidebar: true for pages where sidebar navigation is a distraction — standalone articles, landing pages, or focused content.

See the Frontmatter reference for full documentation.
