Questions

I'm using the reference template and noticed that all my photos that have a caption in the post's source file do not appear with a caption on my site. Is this a known issue?

Is there any way to ensure that the mobile phone experience is similar to desktops, tablets. I find the margins are completely cut off on mobile so it all looks very tight and ugly.

Hello! Using a custom template here, based on an old version of the Essay template. I'm wondering if there's a way to specify an individual post's background color using Blot metadata. I'm already using the variable bg color in my CSS, but it grabs what color is specified in the template setting. (I'm overriding this on the template's dark mode variant). body { background: {{background_color}}; } What I'd like to do is specify a color in each post's metadata, which then gets loaded in place of that CSS variable. Any help would be much appreciated!

In Obsidian I often use the vertical bar (|) to change the text used to display a link. For example, [[Internal links|custom display text replacements]] Does this not work in Blot? I’ve been using this and just realised that all my articles have been showing the link and not the text replacements replacement.

I would like to add this "Written by human not AI" badge somewhere at the foot of all of my blog posts I can't figure out how to upload a png or svg into the blog source though.

I know that {{recent_entries}} shows 30 posts but how can i have my home page only show the 10 most recent posts?

Is there a way to share an html page that is totally standalone from the rest of the site? Like I made a little webpage that is a kind of webtoy, but if I try and share it in one of my blot folders it doesn't work properly because blot renders it within the entry.html stylings etc. (which I understand cos it's rendered in the {{{html}}} block of the template). Is there a workaround to get blot to not render any other html/css/js other than what this html file is telling it to? Or would I have to host it elsewhere and link to it from my blog?

We plan to add support for merging multiple files into a single post on Blot. My question for you is, what should the syntax be? We need to indicate that a subfolder's files should be merged into a post, rather than become individual posts. Let's say you have a folder full of pictures of your trip to Italy. How should you indicate that instead of individual posts, per image, they should be merged into a single post automatically? A few options which come to mind: (Pictures from Italy) Pictures from Italy (album) Pictures from Italy -- -Pictures from Italy- {Pictures from Italy} Pictures from Italy.post Pictures from Italy > Pictures from Italy @\Pictures from Italy #Pictures from Italy # Pictures from Italy Pictures from Italy & Pictures from Italy + + Pictures from Italy A few constraints: use safe, cross-platform characters make the resulting folder good to look at make it non-language specific if possible (i.e. don't depend on english words) There's more information about multi-file posts on GitHub, but please feel free to share your thoughts here on there. I'm writing the underlying code required for the feature at the moment, and the syntax can be adjusted down the line before release.

Is it possible to set the date format of posts so they include the day of the week?

When I put the following in my template, I get the error Unclosed section "active} <div class="menu"> {{#menu}} {{#active}} <a href="{{{url}}}" class="light active">{{label}}</a> {{/active}} {{^active}} <p>hello</p> {{/active}} <a href="{{{url}}}" class="light">{{label}}</a> {{/menu}} </div>

Is there a way to show the first frame (or just any image) of a (local) video (located in the same folder as the .md file) as a preview image rather than just the play icon? This seems to work fine for external video hosted on Youtube, but does not seem to work for video stored in the same folder

For some of my entries I want to have a title, for some of them I would prefer not to have one. I modified the Blog template with {{#title}} <h1>{{title}}</h1>{{/title}} and I thought that would solve my problem. I.e. if the post didn't have a title then there would be no title shown, but Blot uses the file name as a title if there is not title in the frontmatter. I tried having an empty title, i.e. title: but then the title became "null". Is it possible to have some entries to have no title?

I've been getting this error when I try to sync Dropbox, change to a different client, or reset my folder, but this message in orange prevents from doing anything. Is there a fix?

I have tags showing on my archive page and also my main page. I'm experimenting with using tags to help me build a custom RSS feed. I would like to exclude these tags from the Popular Tags list and even from the post itself. Ideally, these tags would be internal for me to use but not visible to the user. Is this possible?

Is it possible to require a password in order to access a site, or a post.

Is there a smart way to add a discrete copyright statement (eg. C 2023 XX, all rights reserved) as a footer to all pages? I'm using Diary template. Thanks!

Is it possible to get the length of the post content? It could be used to calculate reading time, display the post in a different layout, etc . if we have a way to get the number of characters.

Is it possible to list {{#allEntries}} in reverse order—oldest at the top; newest at the bottom?

When I'm on a post, it would be nice to see other posts matching the current posts tag(s). I played with this a little in my custom theme, but couldn't figure out how to filter the entries by the matching tag(s).
