Making blog post source files available with 11ty

You can now view the source file for any blog post on my site by replacing the trailing slash with .txt in the URL. For example, the source file for this post is available here. You can also replace the trailing slash with the original file extension of the source. Most of my blog posts are composed in Markdown, so the extension will usually be .md, but my setup also supports the occasional .ojs (for Observable notebooks) or .html post. But .txt will always work.

I love the idea of static site generators (sometimes known as SSGs or SSBs – static site builders). They eschew the complexity of modern CMSes such as Wordpress. Instead of server-side code and databases, a static site generator is a script that, when run, transforms a folder of text files and templates into HTML.
