## Defining taxonomies for a site
|
|
|
|
Taxonomies must be defined in the site configuration before they can be
|
|
used throughout the site. You need to provide both the plural and
|
|
singular labels for each taxonomy.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example configuration in TOML and YAML
|
|
that specifies three taxonomies (the default two, plus `series`).
|
|
|
|
Notice the format is <code><strong>singular key</strong> = "<em>plural value</em>"</code> for TOML,
|
|
or <code><strong>singular key</strong>: "<em>plural value</em>"</code> for YAML:
|
|
|
|
<table class="table">
|
|
<thead>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>config.toml excerpt:</th><th>config.yaml excerpt:</th>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</thead>
|
|
<tbody>
|
|
<tr valign="top">
|
|
<td><pre><code>[taxonomies]
|
|
tag = "tags"
|
|
category = "categories"
|
|
series = "series"
|
|
</code></pre></td>
|
|
<td><pre><code class="language-yaml">taxonomies:
|
|
tag: "tags"
|
|
category: "categories"
|
|
series: "series"
|
|
</code></pre></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</tbody>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
## Assigning taxonomy values to content
|
|
|
|
Once an taxonomy is defined at the site level, any piece of content
|
|
can be assigned to it regardless of content type or section.
|
|
|
|
Assigning content to an taxonomy is done in the front matter.
|
|
Simply create a variable with the *plural* name of the taxonomy
|
|
and assign all terms you want to apply to this content.
|
|
|
|
**taxonomy values are case insensitive**

|
|
series = [ "Go Web Dev" ]
|
