Frontmatter Reference
Frontmatter is the YAML block at the top of a markdown or MDX page. Prestige reads it for page metadata and uses it when building the document title, description, sidebar labels, and extra head tags.

Frontmatter object
title
Type: string
Required page title. Prestige uses it to generate the browser title as {title} | {siteTitle}.
description
Type: string
Optional page description. When set, Prestige adds it as the page meta[name="description"].
label
Type: string
Optional sidebar label for the page. This is especially useful for autogenerated navigation where you want a label different from the file name.
head
Type: ContentHeadFrontmatter
Optional extra head configuration. Use it to append custom meta tags, links, styles, or scripts to a page.
ContentHeadFrontmatter
The head object is forwarded into the TanStack Router route head() result for that page.
meta
Type: Array<Record<string, any>>
Additional meta entries appended after Prestige's generated title and description metadata. Use this for Open Graph, Twitter, robots, and similar tags.
links
Type: Array<Record<string, any>>
Additional link entries for the page head, such as canonical URLs, alternate links, icons, or stylesheets.
styles
Type: Array<Record<string, any>>
Additional inline style descriptors for the route head.
scripts
Type: Array<Record<string, any>>
Additional script descriptors for the route head.
Notes
titleis the only required frontmatter field.- If
labelis omitted, Prestige falls back to the configured collection label or the file basename when it needs a sidebar label. head.metais merged with Prestige's generated metadata, so the built-in title and description handling still runs first.
