templates/base-start.html and templates/base-end.html are used as the default template, for all .html files (and .html processed from .md).
when you build your site, the content of templates/base-start.html will be added before each page’s content, and templates/base-end.html after.
to not apply the template to a page, use .bare.html/.bare.md as the extension.
to add a template, add a rule to the makefile. you can use the default template as reference:
# Default template - .html (base-start.html + content + base-end.html)
$(OUTDIR)/%.html: src/%.html | $$(@D)/
cat templates/base-start.html $< templates/base-end.html > $@
as an example, to create a new template which will work on all files ending in .media.html, add the following rule to the build & template rules section:
$(OUTDIR)/%.html: src/%.media.html | $$(@D)/
cat templates/media-start.html $< templates/media-end.html > $@
don’t forget to create templates/media-start.html and templates/media-end.html
note src/%.media.html in the first line, this matches any file in src/ ending with .media.html. the output then is $(OUTDIR)/%.html, with .html instead of .media.html - we don’t want the template selector in the final output name.
to remove a template, simply delete its rule from the makefile.
for example, to delete the default template, remove the following lines:
# Default template - .html (base-start.html + content + base-end.html)
$(OUTDIR)/%.html: src/%.html | $$(@D)/
cat templates/base-start.html $< templates/base-end.html > $@
