also, with collections, can i create “sub collections”: food > vegetables > lettuce? or can it only go one level deep (ie. food > vegetables)?

so, i started looking at collections, but it seems i have to maintain the list by both adding the collections to the config.yml AND the actual collections

there are plugins for this: https://github.com/avillafiorita/jekyll-datapage_gen, but i’m not sure i can use plugins.

preferably i’d like to just create a data file and have jekyll generate the html. if i could set permalink: frontmatter in each datafile in order to specify where the html file should be generated, that would have been perfect.

data files looked good, but i soon realized i have to both create a data file an and md file to output the links

i don’t want to have to maintain two different files per document/directory of links.

i’d like to create a directory of link lists in different subfolders, preferably using csv or some other easily manageable format.

thanks. when you said "for example, a categories index pages plugin would provide example". did you refer to something like a category generation plugin?

perhaps i'm overthinking this. i'm not sure what the pro of datafiles would be. perhaps i should just create a directory structure with an md file for each category and just skip the data file part

jaybe: what would the contents of that reusable index.html be like? just to get a picture

i'm thinking, jekyll always generates files/directories to the _site folder. the question is, can it generate them from data files. can it create multiple .html files or directories in the _site directory from data files?

not that i could use a data file to organize a hierarchy and, at site generation, have jekyll create a file system hierarchy of directories and .html files
