Dropdown Navbar - possible?

Is it possible to have clickable dropdown menus from the top navigation bar? Can this be currently done with the "Pages" folder concept? I tried creating a simply tree of folders within the "Pages" folder thinking it might work but it gets flattened in one long top navigation menu. David, is this possible to do. Is it template dependent? Are you considering this? I would be a nice feature because we could have more than a few .md files in a directory tree inside the "Pages" folder. Are there any suggestions? It's not a huge request but it would provide some freedom on structure. Thank you —Alex

Can we specify to use CDN for html pages. Right now it is used just for the images.

Plausible Analytics: No Snippet?

I set up Plausible Analytics on my Blot, but it never gave me a field to enter the tracking snippet. Does Blot auto generate that?

How to remove an image post?

After I removed an image from google drive, the image post is still on my blog. How can I remove an image post properly?

Can I use custom slug in metadata ?

In my blog, I use Japanese character as a title. Blot uses a title as a slug to create URL of an article. But we never use Japanese characters for URL. I know that we can specify URLs of articles in Link metadata. But I use "date and title" for Permalink format. I'd like to specify only slug instead of title on metadata of each articles. If I specify "apple" on Link metadata in an article, URL of the article should be "YYYY/MM/D/apple".

How to clear layout formatting for new paragraph?

I used the markdown layout tags to build a grid of images, but the last column formatting appears to be continuing to the following paragraph. Scroll down here to see the example: https://semeiotica.com/ The markdown code is this: {||||} ![1](/posts/crest/_cartouche.png) ![5](/posts/crest/_droplet2.png) ![8](/posts/crest/_sparc_logo.png) {||||} ![3](/posts/crest/_gate2.png) ![6](/posts/crest/_NGI_logo200.png) ![9](/posts/crest/_KitLogo_Color@4x.png) {||||} ![4](/posts/crest/_mondial.png) ![7](/posts/crest/_coclimate_logo_bl.png) ![10](/posts/crest/_ae_logo.png) {||||} ![2](/posts/crest/_g.png) ![12](/posts/crest/_worldviews.png) ![11](/posts/crest/_genocartouche.png) Is there any easy fix?

Arbitrary folder structures?

If I create some folder structures in my blog's folder for additional pages, will those pages be functional on the blog? For example, will the .md file in Evil-Plan/schemes/phase-1.md be published at /Evil-Plan/schemes/phase-1? Addendum: if so, is this an accurate list of reserved top-level folders?

"This file is not a post because it was ignored"

What is the cause of this message? It happens every once in a while that I just can't publish a file. I first suspected issues with the frontmatter, but everything seems to be in order there. Is there anything else I need to check?

Any cookies?

It seems that Blot does not set any cookies, is that correct? I'm asking because of GDPR. I would need to ask for cookie-consent if it is the case.

KaTeX server side rendering

Hey! I remember that it was possible to enable TeX server side rendering, but now I can't find this option under Publishing settings. Is this still available? Blot uses KaTeX on the server side and does not require the visitor to enable JavaScript

Citation Questions

As long as my posts were in the root directory of my site along with the .bib file used, all was well. After moving them into /Posts, the Bibliography: metadata unchanged, the two do not seem to be assoicated anymore. It works well on the individual entry page, but no longer on the index page. Which I don't mind as much, but it's still strange. Additionally, do you have a documentation somewhere, which CSL are installed and which value to set with the metadata field to get, say, AMA style?
