TOML Frontmatter
TOML frontmatter uses a +++-delimited TOML block as the metadata of a Markdown document, a TOML alternative to YAML frontmatter.
Purpose
To use TOML's strict types and syntax in Markdown metadata, avoiding YAML's implicit type inference.
Mechanism
The file starts with +++ opening a TOML block, a second +++ closes it, and the Markdown body follows. Hugo supports TOML frontmatter, parsed as a TOML object.
Use cases
- Hugo content metadata
- Strictly typed frontmatter
- Markdown document headers
