Draft left out

A page says draft: true, written on the page or handed down from its folder’s index.md as pages.draft: true, so it isn’t built.

What you’ll see

note  Draft left out: `content/post-1.md`
  Run with `--drafts` to build it as if published.

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac says so

A draft is left out of everything: it has no page of its own, and no folder, tag, series or feed lists it. Statac names every page it leaves out, so a page marked as a draft and forgotten never goes missing without a word. statac check shows each draft, and statac build counts them. This can’t be quietened, because it leaves a page out.

How to fix it

Nothing is wrong: this is what draft: true asks for. When the page is ready, take the line out, or write draft: false.

To see drafts while you write them, run statac serve, which shows them and marks each one. statac build --drafts builds them as if published, and says how many it included.

Example

content/post-1.md:

---
title: Post 1
draft: true
---

Published, with the line taken out:

---
title: Post 1
---

Its name
