+
+    <p>
+        Ed is a <a href="http://gohugo.io" target="_blank">Hugo</a> theme designed for textual
+        editors based on <a href="http://go-dh.github.io/mincomp/">minimal computing principles</a>, and
+        focused on legibility, durability, ease and flexibility. Our underlying technology is easy to
+        learn and teach, and can produce beautifully rendered scholarly or reading editions of texts meant
+        to last. To start using Ed, please see <a href="{{ .Site.BaseURL }}/documentation/">our
+        documentation</a> for installation instructions and more. To learn more about the ideas behind Ed
+        and a list of current features see our <a href="{{ .Site.BaseURL }}/about/">about</a> section. To
+        see Ed in action, we've provided some sample minimal editions for you below.
