With Eleventy[1], you can set
permalink: false
in the metadata of a page (the stuff right at the beginning of a page) to prevent the page from being written to disk.
Why would you want this? One reason is that you have a one-page website where different topic pages like "our mission", "what we provide" etc. should only be included into the index page, so they can be viewed there, but pages should not be written to disk as separate HTML files.
Here’s how to do that in Pelican: Just set
:status: skip
in your metadata.

Note

If you look quite sharply at the code example above, you will recognize that the
line is indented a bit more than usual.
Why?
Well, if you just write I already described that phenomenon here. |
This feature is brand-new, it works with Pelican 4.10.1, but not yet with Pelican 4.9.1.
This also works (by accident) with Pelican 4.9.1, but only because Pelican says[2]:
I don’t know what :status: skip means, so I will skip the page.
Here’s the documentation (in section Skip Posts): https://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/content.html.
