Front Matter ¶

Any file that contains a YAML front matter block will be processed by Docurry as a special file. The front matter must be the first thing in the file and must take the form of valid YAML set between triple-dashed lines. Here is a basic example:

YAML---
title: My Awesome Site
description: Some not generic description.
img: An optional img for SEO
caption: Sidebar friendly name
url: http://override_url
external: true
---

Between these triple-dashed lines, you can set predefined variables (see below for a reference) or even create custom ones of your own. These variables will then be available for you to access using mustache both further down in the file and also in any layouts or includes that the page or post in question relies on.

• title and description tags will be added to the HTML as meta tags, they are useful for SEO purposes.
• caption Will be used for the sidebar. If no caption tag is set, docurry will auto generate one with the file name.
• img If set, will be used on Facebook adn Twitter meta tags if PROJECT_URL setting is set. Very useful for SEO.
• url If set, the url on the sidebar and search, will link to it.
• external If true will open link in a new tab and it will add rel="noopener noreferrer" to the <a> tag
