Add "Slug" to metadata documentation?

Not a question but just a request to have the docs updated. It appears that Slug: does the same exact thing as Link:. Was trying to use Slug: as my own metadata and found this out.

Support for video embed previews in feed?

I've been playing around with the excellent Reference template and having a lot of fun customizing it. While the blog feed is great for tagged images, I'm having a little bit of trouble getting video in the mix. I'm wondering if there's any way to get video embed thumbnails to display in the blog feed similar to image files? Right now they are treated as text posts since they are .md files with a Vimeo URL in them and some info in the file name (date, tags, etc). Ideally a mini version of the embedded player would show in the feed, similar to other templates. I'd be happy with a static thumbnail though, the .post.no-thumbnail style is a little jarring in a sea of image thumbnails. Thx! ♥Jonathan

URL-ifying Titles

I noticed that Blot replaces apostrophes with dashes when converting a title to a URL-ready slug, but only when they’re singular. For example, Apple’s Striking Short Film Ahead of International Day of People With Disabilities → https://heydingus.net/blog/2022/12/apple-s-striking-short-film-ahead-of-international-day-of-people-with-disabilities vs ‘All Consuming’ Podcast is Back → https://heydingus.net/blog/2022/12/all-consuming-podcast-is-back Would you consider making it so singular apostrophes are also ignored, as it would make the URLs more readable?

Would it be possible to use image title instead of alt text for the caption?

It appears you can set the title of an image like so![A screenshot of something](./_screenshot.png "this is a title"). I'm wondering if there could be an option to allow using the title instead of alt text for the image caption. Could be a nice convenience over putting in HTML for a caption. Or is there already a good way to set a separate caption that I'm missing?
