Continuing the conversation from https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/492.
I get the need to make things work out of the box. I’m curious why there is not an option to have pretty URLs without the trailing slash, like it was mentioned beforehand. It’s certainly not “erroneous.” If I have a file:
# /content/about.md
we could just as easily generate a file like:
# /public/about.html
and that would make the link
/about
make total sense, because it’s not a directory.
Jekyll currently lets you generate files both ways by setting the style of the permalink in the config.
Would love to keep the ball rolling on a config option for more flexibility here. I personally hate not having full control over my URLs.
