Permalinks are the output path for your pages and posts. They allow you to structure the directories of your source code differently from the directories in your output.

By default we infer the permalink from the filename.

# Front Matter

The simplest way to change a permalink is using the front matter permalink.

For example, you might have a Markdown page on your site located at ./pages/sub_folder/hello.md and you want the output url to be /about In the front matter of the page you should set:

---
permalink: /about
---

# Global

Setting a permalink using the front matter permalink for every page on your site is no fun. Luckily, Saber lets you set the permalink structure globally in your config file.

To set a global permalink, you use the permalink variable in saber-config.yml. You can use placeholders to modify the output. For example:

# Default values:
permalinks:
  post: /:year/:month/:day/:slug.html
  page: /:slug.html

Note that placeholders like :year and :month are parsed from the page attribute createdAt which can be any valid date value like: 2015-02-31, it defaults to the creation time of your page.

# Placeholders
