Say Hello to Grav 2.0!

installation successful...

Congratulations! You have installed the Base Grav 2.0 Package that provides a simple page and the new default Quark 2 theme to get you started — built on Blades CSS (the actively maintained successor to Pico CSS), Font Awesome 7, and a refined typographic system with light/dark/auto appearance.

Edit this Page

To edit this page, navigate to the folder you installed Grav into, and browse to the user/pages/01.home folder. Open default.md in your editor of choice. You'll see the content of this page written in Markdown format.

Create a New Page

Creating a new page is a simple affair in Grav. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your pages folder — user/pages/ — and create a new folder. In this example, we'll use explicit default ordering and call the folder 03.mypage.

2. Launch your text editor and paste in the following sample content:

   ---
   title: My New Page
   ---
   # My New Page!
   
   This is the body of **my new page** and I can easily use _Markdown_ syntax here.

3. Save this file in user/pages/03.mypage/ as default.md. That tells Grav to render the page using the default template from Quark 2.

4. Reload your browser to see your new page appear in the menu.

What's new in Grav 2.0

Grav 2.0 is the biggest release in the project's history — a modernized core, a rebuilt admin, a fresh default theme, and an updated dependency stack. Most of what you already know still works, but everything underneath has been sharpened.

• PHP 8.3+ baseline, with a modernized core and typed internals throughout.
• Symfony 7 + Twig 3 dependency stack, bringing the latest framework improvements and long-term support.
• Quark 2 as the default theme — Blades CSS, Font Awesome 7, auto/light/dark mode with localStorage persistence, locally-hosted Cal Sans + Inter fonts, and a refined Cal.com-inspired design system.
• Admin 2.0 — a fully API-powered SPA interface that's dramatically faster, more responsive, and decoupled from page renders. Navigation, form saves, and media operations no longer trigger full reloads.
• Public REST API — the same endpoints that power Admin 2.0 are available to your own tools and integrations.
• GitHub Markdown Alerts — the legacy markdown-notices plugin has been replaced by github-markdown-alerts, using the familiar > [!NOTE] / [!TIP] / [!IMPORTANT] / [!WARNING] / [!CAUTION] syntax.
• Refined caching and asset pipeline — cleaner invalidation, faster cold starts, and smarter dependency fingerprinting.
• Hardened security defaults — tightened CSP headers, modern session handling, and improved input sanitization across core plugins.
• Better developer ergonomics — stricter type hints, cleaner event signatures, and clearer deprecation paths.

The Quark 2 theme is Grav's new default, replacing the long-serving Quark (1.x) theme. It pairs a pure-grayscale palette with Cal Sans for display and Inter for body text (both hosted locally), Font Awesome 7 icons, and auto/light/dark appearance that persists in the user's browser. The layout system is CSS Grid + modern custom properties rather than a framework grid.

Headings

Quark 2 uses Cal Sans for display headings and treats h1 / h2 distinctly — h1 sits at a lighter display weight while h2 is bolder and gains a small accent bar to mark section breaks. h6 is rendered as an uppercase eyebrow label.

H1 Heading — airy, display weight

H2 Heading — confident, with accent bar

H3 Heading — workhorse section heading

H4 Heading

H5 Heading

H6 Heading — uppercase eyebrow

# H1 Heading
## H2 Heading
### H3 Heading
#### H4 Heading
##### H5 Heading
###### H6 Heading

Paragraphs

Body copy is set in Inter at 16px with a 1.7 line-height and subtle tracking. Links adopt the theme's accent color — by default a restrained charcoal, but configurable to any hex via Themes → Quark 2 → Accent Color.

Alerts

Grav 2.0 replaces the legacy markdown-notices plugin with github-markdown-alerts, which renders GitHub-flavored Markdown alerts. Five types are available, each with an accent stripe, icon, and label:

> [!NOTE]
> Highlights information that users should take into account, even when skimming.

> [!TIP]
> Optional information to help a user be more successful.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Crucial information necessary for users to succeed.

> [!WARNING]
> Critical content demanding immediate user attention due to potential risks.

> [!CAUTION]
> Negative potential consequences of an action.
