Tag: templating

Retype's templating engine lets you embed dynamic content directly in your Markdown pages. Think of it as "programmable content". Templating is powered by Scriban and requires no separate build step or configuration. Write a template expression anywhere in your content and Retype evaluates it when the page is built.

Use content to query and access any page in your project from within a template expression. You can look up pages by key, search across all pages, and iterate over collections such as tags, categories, authors, blog posts, and navigation items. For page-level metadata, see Page properties. For project configuration values, see Project properties.

Retype's templating system is powered by Scriban and includes a comprehensive set of built-in functions and filters for transforming strings, working with arrays, formatting dates, performing math, processing HTML, and inspecting objects.

The include function pulls content from another file into your page. Write a block of content once and reuse it across as many pages as you like.

Use page.* to access metadata from the current page's frontmatter. These properties let you dynamically reference page values without hardcoding them. For project-level configuration, see Project properties.

Use project.* to access configuration values from your retype.yml file. This keeps your content in sync with project settings and avoids hardcoding values that might change. For page-level metadata, see Page properties.
