+ [2017-06-12T08:55:24Z] eightfold also, with collections, can i create “sub collections”: food > vegetables > lettuce? or can it only go one level deep (ie. food > vegetables)?
+ [2017-06-12T08:30:26Z] eightfold 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
+ [2017-06-12T08:29:12Z] eightfold there are plugins for this: https://github.com/avillafiorita/jekyll-datapage_gen, but i’m not sure i can use plugins.
+ [2017-06-12T08:27:39Z] eightfold 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.
+ [2017-06-12T08:25:57Z] eightfold data files looked good, but i soon realized i have to both create a data file an and md file to output the links
+ [2017-06-12T08:25:18Z] eightfold i don’t want to have to maintain two different files per document/directory of links.
+ [2017-06-12T08:23:57Z] eightfold i’d like to create a directory of link lists in different subfolders, preferably using csv or some other easily manageable format.
+ [2017-02-17T21:25:20Z] eightfold that's _a lot_ of sub categories
+ [2017-02-17T21:23:00Z] eightfold here's google's forgotten directory https://web.archive.org/web/20110120182400/http://directory.google.com
+ [2017-02-17T21:19:40Z] eightfold thanks. when you said "for example, a categories index pages plugin would provide example". did you refer to something like a category generation plugin?
+ [2017-02-17T20:48:34Z] eightfold 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
+ [2017-02-17T20:41:50Z] eightfold jaybe: what would the contents of that reusable index.html be like? just to get a picture
+ [2017-02-17T20:38:26Z] eightfold so, a plugin it is.
+ [2017-02-17T20:37:32Z] eightfold 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?
+ [2017-02-17T20:32:56Z] eightfold 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
