### Post
|
|
|
|
Posts are Markdown files with a mandatory metadata head.
|
|
|
|
- The `title` will be added to the web page and does not have to be reapeated in the body. It will be used in any lists of posts.
|
|
- `description` is optional. At the moment this is only used for the HTML head meta data.
|
|
- `aliases` are optional. They are used as permanent redirects to the actual blog page.
|
|
- `draft` is false by default. If set to `true` the post will not be accessible.
|
|
- `reply` optional. Will add the link to the top of the post with `rel="in-reply-to"`. For more infos see: [https://indieweb.org/reply](https://indieweb.org/reply)
|
|

### Webmentions
|
|
|
|
This feature is not yet full supported and needs a lot of manual work. Expect this to change quiet frequently and breaking existing usages.
|
|
|
|
To send webmentions use the command `owl webmention`
|
|
|
|
Retrieved webmentions have to be approved manually by changing the `approval_status` in the `incoming_webmentions.yml` file.
|
|
|
|
#### incoming_webmentions.yml
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- source: https://example.com/post
|
|
title: Example Post
|
|
approval_status: ["", "approved", "rejected"]
