39TEMPLATING
40
41vite uses Go templating[2], and exposes two structure instances for
42rendering stuff in your template: `Cfg` and `Fm`, defined like so:
43
44    // Cfg
45    struct {
46    	Title        string            `yaml:"title"`
47    	Header       string            `yaml:"header"`
48    	DateFmt      string            `yaml:"datefmt"`
49    	SiteURL      string            `yaml:"siteurl"`
50    	Description  string            `yaml:"description"`
51    	Author       map[string]string `yaml:"author"`
52    	Footer       string            `yaml:"footer"`
53    	Prebuild     []string          `yaml:"prebuild"`
54    	Postbuild    []string          `yaml:"postbuild"`
55    	RSSPrefixURL string            `yaml:"rssprefixurl"`
56    }
57
58    // Fm
59    struct {
60        Template string
61        URL      string
62        Title    string
63        Subtitle string
64        Date     string
65        Body     string
66    }

71FEEDS
72
73vite generates Atom feeds for all documents under the `pages/blog/`
74directory.  I plan to add generation for arbitrary directories, with
75ability to configure the feed file name (defaults to feed.xml right
76now).
