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'].
