About SiteGen (Content)

Subheadline

3 ~'s is the minimum for designating and separating a YAML block, but they can be extended longer -- all that matters is that the tildes (~) are on their own line. And anything beyond that gets interpreted as Markdown!

[Markdown][markdown]!

You can even use template tags in here, for any variables you set in in the top YAML block, or in your site.yaml file: This post's title is: "About SiteGen" This file was last modified on 3/30/2015

Note that variables beginning with an underscore designate implicit metadata added by SiteGen. Some vars that are always available by default:

`title`: post title, automatically set to name of markdown file if left blank
`_site`: site.yaml values
`_date`: post 'last modified' date
`_content`: post content (only accessible from templates, not markdown)

And as you can see, you can also use mustache logic to iterate through yaml maps and lists: Links are rendered incorrectly. Bug: https://github.com/dpeek/dart-markdown/issues/35

Note how you need to use a . to access a list item, but can access map/dict keys directly. You can of course disable these markdown templating features by setting markdown_templating: true in your site.yaml file. Same ideas apply when writing your actual HTML templates. See mustache's docs for more templating info.
