Refer to front matter elsewhere

[Martien]

I am converting some of my Wordpress blog posts to Framework:

1. Export Wordpress Into Xml File (WP > Tools > Export).
2. Generate markdown for each post using wordpress-export-to-markdown.
3. Post process each md file (clean up with sed and friends).

Given that:

• Framework Markdown’ Front matter has a bunch of attributes.
• The WP to MD step ads a couple besides title, like: date, categories, and tags.

Wish: use these attributes elsewhere and anywhere in subsequent md files. Especially the date value, as it is the posts’s publish date.

Alternative: in post processing (step 3 above), convert the date (if present) to a proper md element (e.g. a subtitle).

Thoughts?

What do you mean by “use these attributes elsewhere”? How are you going to use them?

I’d also consider using a page loader for this.

I mean one can refer to these values later in the markdown file, like ${page.title} or ${page.date}.

And thanks for the tip of using a page loader. Considering…
