I added some configuration to this Hugo site allow access to the raw Markdown versions of posts.
This enables you to hit URLs such as this to get the raw markdown of this post.
You can find the same Raw link at the bottom of all my posts as well.
This addition was made possible with the follow config changes
[outputs]
# ...
page = ["HTML", "Markdown"]
[mediaTypes]
[mediaTypes."text/markdown"]
suffixes = ["md"]
[outputFormats]
[outputFormats.Markdown]
mediaType = "text/markdown"
isPlainText = true
isHTML = false
baseName = "index"
rel = "alternate"
which rebuilds the original post markdown according to the definition in layouts/_default/single.md
{{ $params := slice }}
{{- range $key, $value := .Params -}}
{{- if $value -}}
{{ $params = $params | append (printf "%s: %v" $key $value) }}
{{- end -}}
{{- end -}}
---
{{ range $param := $params }}{{ $param }}
{{ end }}---
{{ .RawContent }}
With everything setup, I ran hugo and validated that the .md files were correctly created in the public folder.
For example:
❯ tree public/til/hugo/raw-markdown-pages
public/til/hugo/raw-markdown-pages
├── images
│ └── raw-markdown-pages.png
├── index.html
├── index.md
├── raw-markdown-pages
│ ├── index.html
│ └── index.md
└── raw-markdown-pages.png
This approach also allows me to easily view the content from my site via curl
