How to create a static html page that has partials?

I’d also like to be able to create some ‘static’ content, that is, .html files that also make use of the partial templates I’ve created. My use case is that I want a ‘/projects.html’ page that will also use my sidebar partial.

Thanks!

That’s the post Michael mentioned, in particular, use this comment in the thread:


it worked for me.

Basically, you put static pages into /content/, add front matter and state layout. Then create the actual layouts and they will connect to static content pages, giving you all the power of templates, within static HTML’s.

The unintuitive part is how exactly to set up the front matter on static HTML’s in /content/, and how to prepare the custom layout files for them. Happy hacking!
