Set default yaml front matter

[rosikand]

Hello,

Say I want to have the same base YAML front matter for all posts in /posts which is linked to a listing page.

For example, something like this:

---
format: 
  html: default
  pdf: default
  docx: default
---

How can I set this to be the default without having to explicitly type it out for all .md/.qmd files in /posts?

You should have a look at project basics about shared metadata :https://quarto.org/docs/projects/quarto-projects.html#shared-metadata

You can have shared metadata for all qmd file under a subdirectory
