A Jekyll plugin to make front matter optional for Markdown files. Out of the box, Jekyll requires that any markdown file have YAML front matter (key/value pairs separated by two sets of three dashes) in order to be processed and converted to HTML. While that behavior may be helpful for large, complex sites, sometimes it's easier to simply add a plain markdown file and have it render without fanfare. This plugin does just that. Any Markdown file in your site's source will be treated as a Page and rendered as HTML, even if it doesn't have YAML front matter.
Features
- You can configure this plugin in _config.yml by adding to the optional_front_matter key
- By default the original markdown files will be included as static pages in the output
- Even if the plugin is enabled (e.g., via the :jekyll_plugins group in your Gemfile) you can disable it
- Out of the box, Jekyll requires that any markdown file have YAML front matter
- Any Markdown file in your site's source will be treated as a Page and rendered as HTML, even if it doesn't have YAML front matter
