+title: A Guide to the Hakyll Module Zoo
+author: Brent Yorgey
+---
+
+The hakyll package [contains a bewildering array](/reference/) of modules, and
+it's hard to know where to look when you are just getting started -- especially
+since many of them are mostly just used by Hakyll internally and not that useful
+to website authors. This guide provides a quick reference to the contents of the
+most important and useful modules.
+
+## Core modules
+
+These are the modules containing the fundamental tools and concepts
+you need to get started building a site with hakyll.
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.Compiler](/reference/Hakyll-Core-Compiler.html)
+
+    This is one of the modules you should look at first. It defines the
+    fundamental `Compiler` type and primitive `Compiler`s as well as several
+    variants on `load`, which allow you to bring together multiple resources to
+    create a single output.
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.Routes](/reference/Hakyll-Core-Routes.html)
+
+    Specify where compiled items should go in the output site.
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.Rules](/reference/Hakyll-Core-Rules.html)
+
+    Specify which compilers and routes should be used on which resources. Also
+    has combinators for versions (necessary if you want to use the same
+    resources for multiple purposes).
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.Identifier.Pattern](/reference/Hakyll-Core-Identifier-Pattern.html)
+
+    Combinators for creating *patterns*, i.e. predicates that pick out a set of
+    resources: filesystem globs, explicit lists, regular expressions, and so on.
+
+* [Hakyll.Web.Page](/reference/Hakyll-Web-Pandoc.html)
+
+    Provides functions for rendering your pages using pandoc, with a varying
+    degree of high-levelness.
+
+* [Hakyll.Web.Template](/reference/Hakyll-Web-Template.html)
+
+    Templates specify how to take the content of an item and turn it into HTML
+    output.
+
+* [Hakyll.Web.Template.Context](/reference/Hakyll-Web-Template-Context.html)
+
+    You can't do much with a `Template` if you don't have a `Context`: this
+    module provides some predefined `Context`s and the tools to build your own.
+
+* [Hakyll.Main](/reference/Hakyll-Main.html)
+
+    The main `hakyll` function that runs the whole show.  There is also a
+    `hakyllWith` function which allows for a custom configuration.
+
+## Pre-packaged solutions
+
+These modules contain some "pre-packaged" solutions for common situations. They
+can be used as-is, or their source can be used as inspiration for your own
+tools.
+
+* [Hakyll.Web.Page.List](/reference/Hakyll-Web-Page-List.html)
+
+    Combine several pages into a list, such as a list of posts, images in a
+    gallery, etc.
+
+* [Hakyll.Web.Feed](/reference/Hakyll-Web-Feed.html)
+
+    Create RSS feeds.
+
+* [Hakyll.Web.Tags](/reference/Hakyll-Web-Tags.html)
+
+    Work with tags and categories.
+
+## Useful utilities
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.UnixFilter](/reference/Hakyll-Core-UnixFilter.html)
+
+    Use any unix utility as a compiler.
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.Util.File](/reference/Hakyll-Core-Util-File.html)
+
+    Utility functions for working with the file system.
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.Util.String](/reference/Hakyll-Core-Util-String.html)
+
+    A few utility functions for working with `String`s (trim spaces, find and
+    replace, split on regexp).
+
+## Advanced customization
+
+* [Hakyll.Core.Writable](/reference/Hakyll-Core-Writable.html)
+
+    The `Writable` class is for resources which can be written to disk as part
+    of the output site.  You can specify how to write your own custom types to
+    disk by giving them a `Writable` instance.
