Non-HTML pages and feeds

A page can produce any text format. Keep the extra extension in the file name, set its content type and preamble, and turn layouts off:

// articles/feed.xml.jsx
data({
  preamble: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>',
  contentType: "application/rss+xml",
  layout: "",
});
<rss version="2.0">
  <channel>
    <title>{siteTitle}</title>
    <link>{page.siteURL}</link>
    {pages("articles/**").reverse().map(post =>
      <item>
        <title>{post.title}</title>
        <link>{`${page.siteURL}${post.path}`}</link>
        <guid>{`${page.siteURL}${post.path}`}</guid>
        <pubDate>{new Date(post.date).toUTCString()}</pubDate>
        <description>{raw(`<![CDATA[${post.body}]]>`)}</description>
      </item>
    )}
  </channel>
</rss>

This builds _public/articles/feed.xml. Because escaping is on, titles with & produce valid XML.

Non-HTML pages don't get extra outputs , aren't counted as backlink sources, and their aliases serve a copy of the content instead of a redirect stub.
