+
+The id must match `^[a-z0-9-]+$`. It is used for anchors, navigation, image

+label comes from the Markdown heading text.
+
+Markdown section content starts at the level 2 heading and continues until the

+current section, not new sections.
 
-Introductory text.
+## Section Metadata
+
+Use `sections` only when a section needs structured metadata that is not
+naturally expressed by Markdown, such as visibility or presentation overrides.
+
+```yaml
+sections:
+  work:
+    presentation:
+      typography:
+        preset: statement
 ```
 
-Keep these values aligned:
+Each `sections.<section-id>` key must match a Markdown heading id in the same
+page file:
 
-- the frontmatter `sections[].id`
-- the Markdown heading id
-- the source image directory `site/images/<section-id>/`
+```md
+## Work {#work}

-The visible section navigation label comes from the Markdown heading text, not
-from the frontmatter id.
+Do not list sections in frontmatter just to define order. Section order comes
+from the Markdown heading order.
 
-## Image Rows
+## Image Blocks
 
-Each image row can contain a single image:
+Norna-managed local images are written in Markdown fenced blocks at the point
+where they should appear in the section.
 
-```yaml
-gallery:
-  - image: work.jpg
-    alt: "A woven artwork on a white wall."
-    caption: "Work in progress."
+Use `norna-image-stack` for one or more stacked images:
+
+````md
+```norna-image-stack
+- image: work.jpg
+  alt: A woven artwork on a white wall.
+  caption: Work in progress.
+```
+````
+
+Use `norna-image-carousel` for a carousel:
+
+````md
+```norna-image-carousel
+- image: first.jpg
+  alt: First image.
+  caption: First caption.
+- image: second.jpg
+  alt: Second image.
+  caption: Second caption.
 ```
+````
 
-Image rows support:
+Each image entry supports:
 
-- `image`: required filename matching `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9.-]*\.(jpe?g|png)$`.
+- `image`: required filename matching
+  `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9.-]*\.(jpe?g|png|svg)$`.
   It must be a filename, not a path.
-- `alt`: required string.
-- `caption`: optional string.
+- `alt`: optional alt text. If omitted, Norna renders an empty alt attribute.
+- `caption`: optional caption.
 
-Source image filenames must be unique across the selected page's image tree.
-The homepage reads images from `site/images/<section-id>/`. Route pages read
-images from `site/routes/<NNN-route-id>/images/<section-id>/`.
+Start every image entry with `- image: filename.jpg`. Optional fields use two
+spaces of indentation:
 
-## Carousels
+````md
+```norna-image-stack
+- image: filename.jpg
+  alt: Optional alt text.
+  caption: Optional caption.
+```
+````
 
-An image row can contain a carousel instead of a single image:
+Use three or more matching backticks or tildes for fenced blocks. If you need
+to document a Norna image block inside another Markdown code sample, make the
+outer fence longer than the inner fence:
 
-```yaml
-gallery:
-  - carousel:
-      - image: first.jpg
-        alt: "First image."
-        caption: "First caption."
-      - image: second.jpg
-        alt: "Second image."
-        caption: "Second caption."
+````md
+````
+```norna-image-stack
+- image: filename.jpg
 ```
-
-Each carousel item has the same `image`, `alt`, and `caption` fields as a
-single image row.
+````
+````
 
 `content:check` warns when carousel images have different aspect ratios. Exact
 matching proportions are recommended because mixed proportions can make the
 layout move while the user changes slides.
 
+SVG files are allowed in image stacks and carousels. When an SVG has a
+`viewBox` or numeric `width` and `height`, Norna uses that ratio in the same
+layout logic as raster images. SVG files without an intrinsic aspect ratio are
+rendered directly, but carousel usage produces a warning because stable slide
+sizing is less predictable.
+
+## Image Files
+
+Homepage images live under:
+
+```text
+site/images/<section-id>/
+```
+
+Route images live under:
+
+```text
+site/routes/<NNN-route-id>/images/<section-id>/
+```
+
+Image references in Norna image blocks use only the filename:
+
+````md
+```norna-image-stack
+- image: portrait.jpg
+```
+````
+
+If `portrait.jpg` is referenced from `## Team {#team}`, the expected homepage
+location is `site/images/team/portrait.jpg`.
+
+Filenames do not have to be globally unique for the site to be valid. Automatic
+sync only moves files when the filename identifies exactly one source candidate
+within the current page or route.
+
+## Markdown Images
+
+Markdown image syntax is allowed for external images and public static assets:
+
+```md
+![External image](https://example.com/image.jpg)
+![Public asset](/favicon.svg)
+```
+
+Relative local Markdown images such as `![Portrait](portrait.jpg)` are not
+managed by Norna. Use `norna-image-stack` or `norna-image-carousel` for local
+site images that should be validated, processed and synced.
