The fields are stuck there with their old values until a full rebuild. Seems +to me ymlfront should just clear out all of the `{ymlfront}` pagestate before parsing the new +stuff - including in the case where the new page has no ymlfront section at all. + +I discovered another slightly-different-but-related issue where simply _changing_ a field value +in the YAML section doesn't always cause the generated HTML to be updated. Oddly, ikiwiki will +_say_ it's building the page, but when you look at the HTML output, it's the old content. + +Could this involve some clever optimization where ikiwiki looks at the content (that's left over +after ymlfront stripped out the YAML) and sees it hasn't changed? Does ymlfront need to do +something more to indicate there is a change? Does the _template_ need to somehow be declared +to depend on more stuff? + +As I said, the log does have a line for 'building' the page, so whatever optimization is happening +must come later than the determination of what pages to 'build'. + +I'm mentioning it here because I'm not sure whether this or the issue on github will be seen +first - there's a pretty old one open there. This seems to be quite +potentially useful stuff that never quite got finished - is [[KathrynAndersen]] still +interested? -- [[jcflack]] + +---- +Previous discussion re: delimiters + Now that I have implemented a \[[!ymlfront ...]] directive, I would like to remove support for the old "---" delimited format, because * it is fragile (easily breakable) |
