How to create a index.xml (sitemap) for Quarto books?

[maikol-solis]

Hi!

It seems that websites create automatically an index.xml (sitemap) for indexing purposes. For example, I have this line on my website.

However, the same link isn't generated by default for books.

How could I enable this feature for them?

Best.

That link tag is actually to an RSS feed (not a sitemap). Quarto does create sitemaps at sitemap.xml in the root of your site, but only if the site-url option has been site.

Perhaps that is causing the sitemap to not be generated for your book. For example in your _quarto.yml:

book:
  title: "Book"
  author: "Jane Doe"
  date: "10/20/2022"
  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - intro.qmd
    - summary.qmd
    - references.qmd
  site-url: https://www.example.com

should result in the generation of sitemap.xml in your output directory (e.g. _book/sitemap.xml).

Thank you very much. This is exactly the answer that I was looking for.
