Posts are a kind of page located at ./src/content/posts typically
written using Markdown syntax and
with a special filename pattern.
The following examples assume that you are using a site with Spresso theme. If not, you
can create one with new:site command:
$ spress new:site example spresso
It’s easy to manually create posts but Spress provides a new:post command:
$ spress new:post
By default, the command interacts with the user to tweak the generation. The complete syntax of the command is availabe here.
---
layout: "post"
title: "Welcome"
description: "Welcome to my first post"
categories: ["news"]
tags: ["twitter", "blog"]
---
This is a post. You can mix text and HTML like this:
<a href="{{ site.url }}"/about/>About me</a>.
Uses variables in Markdown link:
[Home](<{{ site.url }}>)
Multiple tags can be added to a post using tags attribute.
The categories of a post can be set as using the categories attribute or deducted from the
directory structure. In the following example, 2015-12-01-what-is-new.md will have
news category assigned because the post is stored at news folder:
./src
|- /content
| |- /posts
| | |- 2015-12-01-my-first-post.md
| | |- /news
| | |- |- 2015-11-01-what-is-new.md
In case of you want to preserve the title extracted from the filename over the title
attribute assigned at Front matter block in permalinks you can use preserve_path_title attribute.
e.g: a post filename like: 2015-03-12-spress-is-a-static-site-generator.md
---
layout: post
title: Spress 静态网站生成器
preserve_path_title: true
categories: [Blog]
---
If you want set preserve_path_title: true as default for all your posts you need to add this attribute
to your post collection. Open the config.yml file of your site and add the following lines:
collections:
posts:
output: true
preserve_path_title: true
They are posts you’re still working on and don’t want to publish yet
To enable a draft set draft attribute to `true:
---
layout: "post"
title: "Welcome"
description: "Welcome to my first post"
categories: ["news"]
tags: ["twitter", "blog"]
draft: true
---
This is a post.
Draft posts won't be included by defatult in the compiled site. If you want
to include draft posts, use the flag --drafts with site:build command.
$ spress site:build --drafts
A post filename have a special name pattern: year-month-day-title.md (.md is the file extension).
Example of valid posts files:
This pattern of filename will adds automatically the following attributes to the item: date and title.
