Cannot make getResources show the content of a single article

So, I typed some variants of the getResources function to put onto the screen the list of my artcles and they all do work:

[[!getResources? &tpl=`articleTpl` &parents=`13` &includeContent=`1` ]]

[[!getResources:default=`No results found`? &parents=`13` &tpl=`@INLINE <BR><a href="[[!~[[+id]]]]" title="[[+pagetitle]]">[[+pagetitle]] ([[+id]])</a>`]]

[[!getPage? &element=`getResources` &parents=`13` &tpl=`articleTpl` &limit=`10` &includeTVs=`1`]]

But when I click on the title of any article, I go to the main page of the site. What should I do to make my browser show me a single article?

You mean acticleTpl? Here it is:

<div class="blogPost"> 
    <div class="date">[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d %Y`]]</div> 
    <h2><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" title="[[+pagetitle]]">[[+longtitle]]</a></h2> 

    <p class="author"><strong>Author:</strong> <span class="author">[[+createdby:userinfo=`username`]]</span></p> 
    <p class="summary"><img src="[[+tv.image:phpthumbof=`w=100`]]">  [[+introtext]]</p> 
    <p class="readmore"><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><span>Read more</span></a></p> 

    <div class="clear">[[+content:ellipsis=`350`]]</div> 
</div> 
<hr/>

Hmm.... It seems to me that this articleTpt describes rather every acticle in the list created with getResources and getPage... (the 1st and the 3rd line in my initial example).

Try creating a new template with just the page title and content placeholder. If this works then you can take steps to create a new template.

So, in this command

[[!getResources? &tpl=`articleTpl` &parents=`13` &includeContent=`1` ]]

the parameter &tpl describes how every article will look in the list, right? But where should I describe what a single article must look like? (I mean, after clicking on its header in the list)

In the document/article template. getResources aggregates the document and its elements for display in one location or as a list. If you click on a link <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a> you will be brought to the resource/document and all control over its output is on the template select when editing the document.

Sorry, I still cannot understand where this template for the resource/document is described.

It is not controlled in the getResources call. It is controlled in the editor where you create/edit the content of the resource.

To change the template or a resource, click on a resource in the resource tree and the dropdown for selecting a template will be on the right below the save/close/duplicate buttons.
