!!! This plugin has been moved !!!

See: https://github.com/pelican-plugins/yaml-metadata

This plugin now lives under the pelican-plugins organization. The repo is only being kept here in order to not break existing deployments and will receive no further development.

pelican-yaml-metadata

This Pelican plugin allows articles written in Markdown to define their metadata using a YAML header. This format is compatible with other popular static site generators like Jekyll or Hugo.

It is fully backwards-compatible with the default metadata parsing.

Usage

This plugin aims to keep things simple. After installing and enabling it, any markdown files will have the option of defining metadata using a YAML header instead of the standard key/value pairs.

In order to specify metadata using YAML, simply enclose it within --- lines.

Example:

---
title: Some title
author: Some person
tags:
  - tag 1
  - tag 2
date: 2014-12-25 00:00
summary: The article summary will be __parsed__ as markdown
---

This is some article text.

If the YAML block is not found, the metadata will be parsed using the normal markdown metadata syntax.

Installation

1. Install using pip (pip install git+https://github.com/pR0Ps/pelican-yaml-metadata.git)
2. Enable the plugin in your pelicanconf.py by adding "yaml_metadata" to the PLUGINS list.
