Description

In creating a website project, my _quarto.yml file looks like so:

project:
  type: website

website:
  title: "website title"
  navbar:
    left:
      - href: index.qmd
        text: Home
      - about.qmd

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    css: styles.css
    toc: true

And my index.qmd file is this:

---
title: "index title"
---

This is a Quarto website.

To learn more about Quarto websites visit <https://quarto.org/docs/websites>.

{{< meta website.title >}}

However, the output I get is this:

Question: I was expecting "website title" to be there instead of "index title" (according to the Quarto documentation here). So, what is happening?

It appears this is caused by 6a88ffc intended to fix #3797.

@dragonstyle Do you think there is a way to get the meta shortcode to work while still fixing the citeproc issue? To note this fix introduced a regression in Quarto, as it's not documented you no longer can access website metadata via the shortcode (as far as I know and looked in the documentation).

PS: @dense-set you don't need to reference your questions everywhere and ping people to get an answer, that's a bit rude if I may. To note, the average response time in the last two months is less than 12 hours while 0 question was left without a response (~150 questions).

I sincerely apologise if I came off as rude. But:
It had already been more than 2 days (four times the avg time) that this post had any activity, before I finally pinged you. And of all, I pinged you in particular because you were really kind and prompt with all the discussions in the past. (And in asking, I had also mentioned that I’d understand if you are currently not looking in this domain of issues.)

[mcanouil]

No worries.
FYI, the answer here required to spend more time (time I did not have this week) and to have access to a computer to check if it ever worked and find where it stopped.

But: It had already been more than 2 days (four times the avg time) that this post had any activity

To note, my point was not to state "we give a response under all circumstances in less than 12 hours".
My point was, you can usually expect quick responses but it's not quick, no worries because, as I said, over the last 200 questions, none had zero responses, so be a bit patient.

Okay, I will keep this in mind for the next time. :-)
