Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about VertiWiki architecture and deployment.

Is VertiWiki really 100% zero-backend? +
Yes! VertiWiki runs 100% inside the client browser. When a user requests a route like #!docs/guide.md, VertiWiki fetches the raw Markdown via standard browser fetch(), parses it with Marked v15, sanitizes it with DOMPurify, and mounts it into the DOM in milliseconds.
How does Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) work? +
On every page render, VertiWiki dynamically generates and updates Schema.org JSON-LD graphs (TechArticle and BreadcrumbList) in the page <head>. It also provides standard llms.txt files and a 1-click "Copy for AI" context exporter so LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity receive perfect metadata.
Can I customize the logo and brand display in the header? +
Yes! Starting in VertiWiki v0.2.2, you can configure "brandDisplay": "both" | "logo" | "title" and set "logo": "assets/logo.svg" in config.json to display just the logo, just text, or both.
Can I run VertiWiki offline from a local drive or USB stick? +
Yes! All stylesheets, fonts, KaTeX formulas, and Mermaid scripts are bundled directly into the standalone vertiwiki.html file. As long as the browser allows local file reads (or via a lightweight local server like Python's http.server or npx serve), it runs 100% offline.
