Abstruse!

a YAML code snap from the start of Index.qmd — Mind the gaps! (notice dots are spaces and there are NO TABS)

OMG I have an RSS feed that works!

Prior to this, I had a gigantic blob that included everything ,which had been activated by:

feed: true

However, upon finding the commentary: “In YAML, you cannot have a key both as parent and has a value.”, I was able to discover that, leaving out the atomic value of the key, my gigantic blob RSS was reduced to somethnig that feed reeders can reed!

feed:
  type: partial

I hope this helps someone turn their Quarto site into a real blog where the RSS works!

What would _you_ call a shorebird with extraordinarily long legs relative to its body, if not a stilt? — A Stilt
