Adding tags

Use tags to categorise posts and make it easier for readers to browse content on your site.

The GOV.UK Eleventy Plugin lets you use tags to categorise pages. Each post can display its list of tags, which link to a page that lists other posts with the same tag. Follow these instructions to enable this feature.

Create a page that lists all tags used

To include a list of all tags used on your website, create a page that uses the tags layout:

---
layout: tags
title: Tags
permalink: "/tags/"
---

You can see an example of a tag index on this website.

Create a page for each tag

To generate a page for each tag used on your website, create a page that uses the tag layout and paginates collections.tags data:

---
layout: tag
pagination:
  addAllPagesToCollections: true
  alias: tag
  data: collections.tags
  size: 1
permalink: "/tags/{{ tag | slug }}/"
eleventyComputed:
  title: "Posts tagged ‘{{ tag }}’"
eleventyNavigation:
  parent: Tags
---

You can see an example tag page on this website.
