# EGYPT · this post writes the words on /destinations/egypt

# ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

#

# Change the words after a colon, then save. That is the whole job.

#

# A line that starts with # is a note to you. The page never reads it.

# Delete a line and the page keeps the words it was built with.

# Nothing you type in here can break the page.

#

# UNDER MOST LINES SIT TWO SPARE ONES - the size and the colour. They

# are switched off. Take the # off the front to use one:

#

# title: Egypt

# # title-size: 1x

# # title-colour: #f0d9a8

#

# size 1x is the size it is now. 1.5x is half again bigger,

# 0.8x a fifth smaller. Anything between works too.

# colour a code like #e28d4f, or a plain name like tomato.

#

# Type one wrong and nothing happens. The page keeps what it has.

# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

# WHAT IS ON THE PAGE

#

# title the country's name

# blurb the line under the name

# region which group it sits in on /by-destinations

# scripture the verse

# history the paragraph of history

# about the longer description

# site a place in the country - one line each, as many as you want

history: Joseph rose from a dungeon to Pharaoh's right hand. Four hundred years later Moses led his people out through the sea. The Holy Family fled here from Herod, fulfilling 'out of Egypt I called my son.' The Nile, the pyramids and the Sinai wilderness all belong to Scripture's geography.

# THE PLACES IN THIS COUNTRY

#

# One site: line per place, in parts separated by bars. The picture at

# the end is optional:

#

# site: NAME | THE VERSE | WHERE WE GO | STATE | a picture link

#

# STATE is one of three words, and decides the little label on the card:

#

# flagship shows as Flagship

# upcoming shows as Upcoming

# future shows as On the horizon

#

# Leave the picture off and the place keeps the one it already has.

#

# An about: line belongs to the site: line above it. It is the longer

# description that opens when somebody taps that place.

#

# These are a list, so there is no one thing to colour - they take their

# size and colour from the design, and so do the words the page writes

# itself: "Why it matters", "On the ground", and the panel at the foot.

site: Mt. Sinai | Exodus 19 - the mountain of God | Future expedition | future

about: The granite peak where the Law was given in thunder and cloud. Pilgrims have climbed it by lantern for over sixteen centuries, arriving at the summit at first light.

site: St Catherine's | Exodus 3:2 - the bush that burned | On the scouting list | future

about: The monastery at the foot of the traditional Sinai, built around the site held to be the burning bush and inhabited without a break since the sixth century. Its library is second only to the Vatican's for early manuscripts, and Codex Sinaiticus was found there.
