Front Matter

Front Matter is a Visual Studio Code extension that manages a static site’s content from dashboards inside the editor. The dashboards cover content, data and media files, and a taxonomy dashboard manages tags and categories. The content stays in the folders the static site generator defines, and the extension is pointed at them by registering content folders. The extension also supports content in multiple languages. It is installed from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace, as the getting-started guide describes, and it runs on the developer’s machine within the editor.

The project is maintained by Elio Struyf and published under the MIT license.
