Frontmatter Reference

Content
Frontmatter

Frontmatter allows you to override global settings on a per-page basis. It must be written in YAML format at the very top of your Markdown file.

Core Metadata

Key	Type	Description
`title`	`String`	Required. Sets the HTML `<title>` and the primary page header.
`description`	`String`	Sets the meta description for SEO and search results.
`keywords`	`Array`	A list of keywords for the `<meta name="keywords">` tag.

Visibility & SEO

Key	Type	Description
`noindex`	`Boolean`	Excludes the page from the search index and search engines.
`llms`	`Boolean`	Set to `false` to exclude this page from the `llms.txt` file.
`sitemap`	`Object`	Custom sitemap settings: `priority` (0.0-1.0) and `changefreq` (e.g., `daily`).

Page Layout

Key	Type	Description
`layout`	`String`	Set to `full` to hide the Table of Contents and use the full width.
`hideTitle`	`Boolean`	If `true`, the title is hidden from the sticky top header.
`toc`	`Boolean`	Set to `false` to disable the Table of Contents entirely.
`bodyClass`	`String`	Adds a custom CSS class to the `<body>` tag of this page.

Injection Slots

Use these keys to add custom HTML/JS to specific pages without changing your global config.

customHead: Injects HTML into the <head>.
customScripts: Injects HTML at the very end of the <body>.

No-Style Mode (`noStyle: true`)

When noStyle is enabled, the docmd layout is removed. You must explicitly opt-in to components:

---
noStyle: true
components:
  meta: true      # Injects SEO tags
  favicon: true   # Injects favicon
  css: true       # Injects docmd-main.css
  theme: true     # Injects theme CSS
  highlight: true # Injects syntax highlighting
  scripts: true   # Injects docmd-main.js
  layout: true    # Injects the content-area wrapper
  sidebar: true   # Injects the navigation sidebar
  footer: true    # Injects the footer
  branding: true  # Injects the "Built with docmd" badge
---
