This documentation is also published as Markdown for efficient machine reading: the whole site is indexed at /llms.txt, and every page has a clean Markdown copy under /_llms/. These are generated from the same source and cost far fewer tokens to read than this rendered HTML.

IFrontMatter Pennington.FrontMatter

Minimum: every content page has a title. Default members provide sensible opt-out values so implementations only declare properties they actually parse from front matter.

Properties

Date DateTime?
Publication date surfaced in feeds and sitemaps. Also drives scheduled publishing: when this is set to a moment after the build clock, the page is excluded from build output (same dev-vs-build behavior as IsDraft) until the clock catches up.
Description string
Short summary used in meta descriptions, OpenGraph tags, and listings.
IsDraft bool
True when the page is a draft and should be excluded from builds.
Llms bool
True when the page should be included in llms.txt output.
Search bool
True when the page should be included in the search index.
SearchOnly bool
When true, the page is included in indexing channels (search, llms.txt) but excluded from the rendered navigation tree. Useful for FAQ entries, glossary terms, or other content that should be discoverable by search but should not clutter the sidebar.
Title string
Page title rendered in the browser tab, navigation, and OpenGraph tags.
Uid string
Stable cross-reference identifier used by xref links.
