Working with Metadata
Metadata provides structured information about your pages and controls how they display.
What is metadata.ini?
Every folder can have a metadata.ini file that defines:
- Title (overrides automatic title extraction)
- Date (overrides folder-based date detection)
- Summary (appears in list views)
- Custom template selection
- Other custom fields
Example metadata.ini
title = "My Custom Title"
date = "2024-11-20"
summary = "A brief description that appears in lists"
[settings]
page_template = "list-grid"
show_date = false
Common Use Cases
Override automatic titles – If you want a title different from the folder name.
Set explicit dates – When the folder name doesn't include a date.
Add summaries – Give context in list views without showing full content.
Choose templates – Different sections can use different list templates.
Hide metadata – Set show_date = false to hide dates in lists.
Custom Fields
You can add any fields you want:
author = "Jane Doe"
category = "Tutorial"
tags = "metadata, configuration, tutorial"
Then access them in custom templates via $metadata['author'].
