I see hexo builds paths by convention of the file layout. Though I wish to organize files differently. Is there a way to set paths manually in page files?
E.g.
source/abt.md:
title: About me
path: '/about/me/'
Actually, it's possible using the --path option:
hexo new page --path about/me/index "About me"
this will create source/about/me/index.md file with the following front matter:
---
title: About me
date: 2019-04-04 23:51:44
---
The --path option is not documented, but it is listed when using hexo help new.
By the way, the help for hexo new command states:
Usage: hexo new [layout] <title>
This means that the path is automatically defined from the title. Using --path option simply allows to specify it manually.
Note that not giving a title on the command line creates a post. For instance:
hexo new page --path foo/bar
will create _posts/foo/bar.md with front matter title set to page. It's not a bug: the layout is optional, while the title is not.
