If you want to publish markdown then you can use Jekyll (just one possibility), and follow the [Create a GitLab Pages website from scratch](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/getting_started/pages_from_scratch.html) guide.

I think you can just replace `index.html` with `index.md` and your markdown.

it is just my guess

Oh really? That's quite scary :O Why do you think so?

for those who might stumble across this question in the future, I think there is a delay when publishing using github/gitlab pages. Sometimes the delay can be several hours. My unsubstantiated conspiracy theory is some new pages projects somehow get flagged for manual review or something of that nature.

@Jack, re: [your answer](#a1911),  Hii, I was working on my project lastly. I found out that using html instead of md works fine and generates the webpage.

you'll need to ask in the community forum here: https://forum.gitlab.com/

looks like you may need to raise a ticket with GitLab then as that all looks correct from what we can see

I visited Settings > Pages and this is what it shows.

The same link which is giving us 404.

It says -  
  
> Syntax is correct. CI configuration validated, including all configuration added with the includes keyword. More information

Jack Douglas replying to निरंजन

it looks good to me. I can't check the "When it succeeds, go to Settings > Pages to view the URL where your site is now available. " step though. Did you use the CI Lint tool to check for typos?

निरंजन replying to Jack Douglas

Yes! I am also getting a 404, but I don't understand why. Therefore I shared the repo link for you to see if I have done something wrong.

Jack Douglas replying to निरंजन

I get a 404…

@Jack; thanks for [your answer](#a1911)! Sorry, I was a bit busy and hence couldn't reply on time. I tried building a website from scratch in the following repository of mine. https://gitlab.com/niranjanvikastambe/fcm. The pages section of the repository says that the website is live on - https://niranjanvikastambe.gitlab.io/fcm, but I can't see it. Am I doing something wrong?
