The markata.plugins.auto_title plugin automatically generates titles for posts that don't have a title specified in their frontmatter. It uses the filename to create a human-readable title.

Installation

This plugin is built-in and enabled by default through the 'default' plugin. If you want to be explicit, you can add it to your list of plugins:

        
hooks = [
    "markata.plugins.auto_title",
]

Uninstallation

Since this plugin is included in the default plugin set, to disable it you must explicitly add it to the disabled_hooks list if you are using the 'default' plugin:

        
disabled_hooks = [
    "markata.plugins.auto_title",
]

Configuration

This plugin requires no configuration. It automatically processes any post without a title.

Functionality

Title Generation

The plugin generates titles by:

1. Using the filename (without extension)

• python_tips_and_tricks.md becomes "Python Tips And Tricks"

Frontmatter Override

You can always override the automatic title by specifying one in frontmatter:

        
---
title: My Custom Title
---

Registered Attributes
