SUMMARY.MD and page meta configuration

[alisman]

I am using a file called Summary.MD to configure navigation. I think this might be leftover from gitbook. But it actually works with retype although it isn't documented anywhere. What's more, Retype doesn't process any of the meta data (frontmatter) in my page files. Any idea what's going?

Yes, the SUMMARY.md file is supported by Retype although only for GitBook backwards compatibility. In general, it's much cleaner to configure the navigation by grouping your pages within folder or using the order page config.

The SUMMARY.md functionality is not currently documented within Retype, although I'll add it to the TODO list.

Retype doesn't process any of the meta data (frontmatter) in my page files.

Which version of Retype are you using? As of the latest release (v2.3.0), Retype should merge the page frontmatter with the SUMMARY.md configuration.
