MarkdownMasterCMS supports a number of meta fields automatically for pages. These get generated by the server to be available for bots and crawlers.
Pulled from the description, excerpt, or first paragraph of the page.
Simple author name pulled from the author field in frontmatter.
Whatever value is set is the value that is rendered.
The canonical URL of the page generated automatically based on the site URL and page path.
Pulled from the image field in frontmatter and useful for displaying a preview of the page content in social feeds.
Generated in combination with the author field in frontmatter and the authors page type.
The author listed in the page MUST match either the title or the alias of an author in the authors/ directory.
The value provided to crawlers is the mastodon key within the socials field of the author file.
Example:
my-blog-post.md:
---
title: My Blog Post
author: Alice Smith
---
authors/alice.md:
---
title: Alice Smith
alias: alice
socials:
mastodon: https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/@alice
---
In the above example, either "alice" or "Alice Smith" would work as the author value in the page frontmatter, depending on how you'd prefer the base author meta tag to be rendered. Both will pull alice.md and retrieve the mastodon URL for the fediverse creator meta tag.
