How layer5io/layer5-academy works
Layer5 Academy is a content repository: authors create learning materials in Markdown, which the Hugo-based Academy site renders for learners and the wider Academy platform. The main content branches are learning paths, challenges, certifications, and authoring examples; embedded Meshery designs are another learner-facing capability. The README documents assessment conversion by the external Academy theme and integration with academy-build. Sampled source confirms Cytoscape rendering for embedded designs; other runtime wiring is summarized only where documented.
