Structured Courses Module

When compiled with the course or default full feature set, DioxusPress provides a three-level Course → Chapter → Lesson learning experience backed by server-enforced access control.

Server-Side Entitlement Gate (Never Client-Only CSS)

Unlike static sites that hide paid text behind client-side CSS overlays, DioxusPress verifies user sessions and database entitlements (user_course_entitlements and active Pro memberships) inside Axum before reading lesson content:

• Free Preview Lessons (preview: true): Readable by anonymous visitors and indexed in /sitemap.xml for organic search discovery;
• Protected Lessons (preview: false or omitted): Unentitled requests receive only syllabus metadata and unlock prompts — the raw Markdown and lesson attachments never leave the server.

See the Frontmatter Reference for all course.yaml, _chapter.yaml, and lesson fields. Administrators can grant access manually at /admin/entitlements (course tier) or automate fulfillment via WeChat Pay, Alipay, and Stripe (payments tier).
