If you don’t use tags you can disable generating them like explained here. Then they won’t appear in the site map as well.
I don’t know what kind of page the en-us.html one is, but you might want to disable its generation as well.
If disableKinds is too coarse (disables also other similar taxonomy / list pages you want to keep), maybe ignoring the specific file that generates it would help
If you still need help, please link to your website source code or a small example that reproduces your issue
by the way, i should have mentioned I have a custom sitemap.xml layout!
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
{{ range .Data.Pages }}{{ if ne .Params.sitemap_exclude true }}
<url>
<loc>{{ .Permalink }}</loc>{{ if not .Lastmod.IsZero }}
<lastmod>{{ safeHTML ( .Lastmod.Format "2006-01-02T15:04:05-07:00" ) }}</lastmod>{{ end }}{{ with .Sitemap.ChangeFreq }}
<changefreq>{{ . }}</changefreq>{{ end }}{{ if ge .Sitemap.Priority 0.0 }}
<priority>{{ .Sitemap.Priority }}</priority>{{ end }}{{ if .IsTranslated }}{{ range .Translations }}
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
hreflang="{{ .Lang }}"
href="{{ .Permalink }}"
/>{{ end }}
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
hreflang="{{ .Lang }}"
href="{{ .Permalink }}"
/>{{ end }}
</url>
{{ end }}{{ end }}
</urlset>
You should make a small project and share the code for it. I can’t make sense of your sitemap, I’d have to build a site and add content to it, and I don’t know if you do something special, and I hope this all explains why we recommend share a repo, per Requesting Help.
