### Template examples
Here are some examples for basic templates that can be used. For an example on threading replies, see the [default template](files/templates/post.tmpl).
#### Jekyll
Template:
```md
---
layout: post
title: {{ .Post.Id }}
---
{{ .Post.Content | toMarkdown }}
```
Filename:
`{{.Post.CreatedAt | date "2006-01-02"}}-{{.Post.Id}}.md`
#### Hugo and 11ty
The default template and filename is built for Hugo as that's the static site generator that I use, but a minimum viable template that works for either can look like this:
```md
---
title: {{ .Post.Id }}
date: {{ .Post.CreatedAt | date "2006-01-02" }}
---
{{ .Post.Content | toMarkdown }}
```
Filename:
`{{.Post.CreatedAt | date "2006-01-02"}}-{{.Post.Id}}.md`
#### HTML
Template:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>{{ .Post.Id }}</title>
</head>
<body>
{{.Post.Content}}
</body>
</html>
```
Filename: `{{ .Post.Id }}.html`
#### Text only
Template:
```txt
{{ .Post.Content }}
```
Filename: `{{ .Post.Id }}.txt`
## Post media
By default, a post's media is not downloaded. Use the `--download-media` flag with a path to download a post's media. The post's original file is downloaded, and the image's id is used as the filename.
@ -298,7 +368,7 @@ For example, `--download-media=./images` saves any media to the `./images`.
Once downloaded, the media's path is available in [MediaAttachment.Path](https://pkg.go.dev/git.garrido.io/gabriel/mastodon-markdown-archive/client#MediaAttachment) as an absolute path.
Sprig's [path](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/paths.html) functions can be used in the templates to manipulate the path as necessary. For example, the [default template](https://git.hq.ggpsv.com/gabriel/mastodon-markdown-archive/src/branch/main/files/templates/post.tmpl#L25-L27) uses `osBase` to get the last element of the filepath.
