### home
+
+Displays recent posts. Rendered to `index.html`.
+
+- {{.Site}} *Site*
+- {{.Posts}} *Posts* all posts on site, reverse chronological order
+
### post
+
+Template that gets rendered to create individual post pages
+
+- {{.Site}} *Site*
+- {{.Post}} *Post* the individual post the page is for
+
### archive
+
+Lists all posts, showing only titles and links. Rendered to `archive.html`
+
+- {{.Site}} *Site*
+- {{.Posts}} *Posts* all posts, reverse chronological order
+
### rss
+Displays recent posts as RSS 2.0 XML. Rendered to `rss.xml`
+
+- {{.Site}} *Site*
+- {{.Posts}} *Posts* all posts, reverse chronological order
+
## Advanced Features
### paged template
+If present renders paged archives (15 posts per page) to `page/%d.html`
+
+See archive/paged.go for details. Used to create an "infinite scroll" style archive. Details/options/implementation may change.
+
### Permalink and filename formatter
+Permalink (URLs for individual posts) can be customized. This part is *meh* and subject to change.
+
+| String | Value | Example |
+|--------|----------|---------|
+| %Y | Year | 2017 |
+| %M | Month | 04 |
+| %D | Day | 14 |
+| %F | Filename | foo |
+| %T | Title | bar |
+
+Filenames and titles will be "cleaned" of characters unsuitable for links. Extension will be removed from the Filename.
+
### Filters
+Arbitrary regular expressions can be executed on each post to create domain-specific and site-specific modifications.
+
+Here are the real world examples of regular expressions that filter each post on my personal site -
+
+```yaml
+filters:
+ - s: <photo id="(.+)">
+ r: <div class="photo"><img src="/img/$1" /></div>
+ - s: <segue />
+ r: <p class="segue">&middot; &middot; &middot;</p>
+ - s: <youtube id="(.+)">
+ r: <p class="video"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1"><img src="/img/$1.jpg" /></a></p>
+ - s: "amazon:(.+)"
+ r: "http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/$1/decommodify-20/"
+```
