Easier layout selection

2 mins
yaml

You can now choose a page layout when creating new posts and pages - this provides an easy way to render your pages with different mustache templates, with varying layouts and structure.

The current layouts available are main and simple. Each layout must have a .mustache template file in .app/templates/[html]/, such as main.mustache or simple.mustache.

Layouts should not start with an underscore - as templates whose names begin with an underscore are "partials" and to be included in other templates.

The page_layout variable is available a build time, and taken from your post or pages front matter. For example, here is the YAML front matter for this post:

title:        Easier layout selection
slug:         easier-layout-selection

More layouts will be added in the future, to make it even easier to customise your pages.
