We're going to discuss a small brochure site to start with. You can find all
code and files necessary to build this site [right here](/examples/brochure.zip)

files we will use:
- about.rst A simple page written in RST format
- code.lhs Another page with some code (which can be highlighted)
- css Directory for CSS files
- |- default.css The main CSS file
- \- syntax.css CSS file for code syntax highlighting
- hakyll.hs Our code to generate the site
- index.markdown A simple page in markdown format
- templates Directory for templates

![Brochure files](/images/brochure-files.png)
-### The two layers
+No magic is involved at all -- we will precisely study how and why our items are
+compiled like that. All of this is specified in the `hakyll.hs` file.
+
+### Images
+
+Let's start of with the `images/haskell-logo.png` file, because the processing
+of this file is very simple: it is simply copied to the output directory. Let's
+look at the relevant lines in the `hakyll.hs` file:
+
+~~~~~{.haskell}
+match "images/*" $ do
+ route idRoute
+ compile copyFileCompiler
+~~~~~
+
+The first line specifies we will describe the process for compiling everything
+in the `images/` folder: hakyll uses globs for this [^pattern].
+
+[^pattern]: A little caveat is that these globs are not `String`s but
+ `Pattern`s, so you need the `OverloadedStrings` extension.
+
+We can see two simple rules next: `route` and `compile`.
+
+- `route` determines how the input file(s) get mapped to the output files.
+ `route` only deals with file names -- not with the actual content!
+- `compile`, on the other hand, determines how the file content is processed.
+
+In this case, we select the `idRoute`: which means the file name will be kept
+the same (`_site` will always be prepended automatically). This explains the
+name of `idRoute`: much like the `id` function in Haskell, it also maps values
+to themselves.
+
+For our compiler, we use `copyFileCompiler`, meaning that we don't process the
+content at all, we just copy the file.
+
+### CSS
+
+If we look at how the two CSS files are processed, we see something which looks
+very familiar:
+
+~~~~~{.haskell}
+match "css/*" $ do
+ route idRoute
+ compile compressCssCompiler
+~~~~~
+
+Indeed, the only difference with the images is that have now chosen for
+`compressCssCompiler` -- a compiler which *does* process the content. Let's have
+a quick look at the type of `compressCssCompiler`:
+
+~~~~~{.haskell}
+compressCssCompiler :: Compiler Resource String
+~~~~~
+
+Intuitively, we can see this as a process which takes a `Resource` and produces
+a `String`.
+
+- A `Resource` is simply the Hakyll representation of an item -- usually just a
+ file on the disk.
+- The produced string is the processed CSS.
+
+We can wonder what Hakyll does with the resulting `String`. Well, it simply
+writes this to the file specified in the `route`! As you can see, routes and
+compilers work together to produce your site.
