This looks very interesting. Let me install and work with this for a bit.

BTW right after the git clone operation the user must cd nextra-docs-template before proceeding with the npm install step.

Hope you like it as much as I am liking it. Cool thing is that it offers page navigation at the bottom and automatically provides right side navigation of the page sections.

Thanks for pointing out the missing step. The post is updated now.
