SidebarItem with custom source path

Description

Let's say I need to have 2 languages in my website, English and Italian.

I would create the directory structure to build everything up as usual, with "docs" for default (en) and "docs/it" at the top.

Is there a way to specify that an html page, let's say 'www.host.com/it/home.html', must be generated starting from a file placed at /docs/home.md (without the /it/ subpath)?

Or, in alternative to this, is there a way to use symlinks to fake a file called home.html exists under /docs/it/home.md?

Thank you

I might not get your point clearly, but I think you are actually asking a question. Then please move to the Discussions panel

Or, in alternative to this, is there a way to use symlinks to fake a file called home.html exists under /docs/it/home.md?

You can programly read, check and create pages.

See our cookbook in docs about how to add a page, you can access other pages at the moment and it should not be hard for you to map every /sub-locale/xxx and add fallback if /xxx/ not exists. You can also choose to remove those pages by deleting them from app.pages
