Link parkin’: a Pelican plugin that enables YAML formatted front matter
This Pelican plugin allows articles written in Markdown to define their metadata using a YAML header. This format is compatible with other popular static site generators like Jekyll or Hugo.
It is fully backwards-compatible with the default metadata parsing.
I’m also working up another blog that uses quarto. Quarto Markdown is Pandoc Markdown which is extended to use YAML for its metadata. Eventually I’ll do some agentic coding to build a CLI tool to assist in creating new posts for either style of blog. So getting them lined up on the same format is a good thing.
