Distill: Organise non-post non-blog content into directories

[rmf]

My distill directory currently looks like this.

.
├── about.Rmd
├── docs/
├── index.Rmd
├── _posts/
├── _site.yml
└── styles.css

I would like to add pages that are not posts. Very similar to the about.Rmd. See below that I have added some non-post pages.

.
├── about.Rmd
├── docs/
├── index.Rmd
├── _posts/
├── _site.yml
├── projects.Rmd
├── code.Rmd
├── creative.Rmd
├── illustration.Rmd
├── images/
└── styles.css

The above configuration works, but get too messy with a lot of files. I would like to organise them into hierarchical directories so the root is cleaner. Below is what I envision.

.
├── about.Rmd
├── docs/
├── index.Rmd
├── _posts
├── _site.yml
├── projects
│   ├── index.Rmd
│   ├── code/
│   │   ├── index.Rmd 
│   │   └── images/
│   └── creative/
│       ├── illustration/
│       │   ├── illustration.Rmd
│       │   └── images/
│       └── handicraft/
│           └── index.Rmd
└── styles.css

But, the Rmds in the project directory do not integrate into the website. What's the best way to go about this?

Hi- Distill currently doesn't support non-post content in subdirectories (similar to R Markdown sites, which the generator is based on). If you want to organize non-post content in subdirectories, blogdown (which gives you a Hugo site) is our current tool for the job: Create Blogs and Websites with R Markdown • blogdown
