Fun with Eleventy images

I’m currently working on two sites that both require handling images in Markdown files. That probably makes you think: “Why write about an official Eleventy plugin?” The issue is that I want to use images in a different opinionated way than the opinionated way the plugin was changed to in 2021.

Enriching Eleventy data

Almost two years ago I wrote about how I got started with Eleventy. I wrapped up the post by indicating that I’d write a follow-up explaining how I’d combined data with the front matter and content. And… then I forgot about it.

In the time since then, the project I used as an example had partially been moved back to a PHP application since I needed to capture and search data while not behind a computer. How I’d combined the data still turned out to be useful in the other projects I eventually migrated to Eleventy though.
