• author.email: email@address - The author email
• date: 2018-02-13 - the date the content was created
• update_date: 2018-02-13 - this will show in under the title that the page has been updated
• tags: a list of tags
• categories: Featured|Developer|SGID Blog|GPS-surveyor|Guestblog
• published: true|false

contact information

Contacts are managed in a yml file. Please do not put email addresses directly into content.

The include has a few properties:

• subject: the subject of the email link. Most of the time using page.title is good enough™

• contact: the contact in the yml file to create

• text: update this to change the default text generated

• hide-punctuation: set this to true if you would like to remove the . at the end of the text

• markdown

  {% capture contact %}{% include contact.html subject=page.title contact=site.data.contacts.agrc %}{% endcapture %}
  {{ contact }}

• html

  {% include contact.html subject=page.title contact=site.data.contacts.agrc %}
