## Markdown and machine discovery

Every indexable page has a Markdown twin with YAML front matter (title, description, canonical url, language, publisher, licence):
- File: the page URL + `index.md`, e.g. https://eipane.com/kallio-arga-para-pote/index.md , https://eipane.com/index.md , https://eipane.com/api/index.md , https://eipane.com/en/kallio-arga-para-pote/index.md
- Alias: the page path + `.md`, e.g. https://eipane.com/kallio-arga-para-pote.md
- Content negotiation: request the normal page URL with `Accept: text/markdown`
HTML pages link to their twin with `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` and an HTTP `Link` header. Twins are `noindex` and point back to the HTML page with `rel="canonical"`; cite the HTML URL. Pages marked noindex (unverified quotations) have no twin.
