Design controls

Central site settings
Publication name, tagline, default byline, navigation, sections and contact email live in src/site.config.ts.
Homepage sections
Lead with the latest or a featured story, and set how many headlines and feed stories appear; 0 hides a section.
Journal grouping
Group the Journal archive by month or by year.
Colours, fonts and layout
Set palette, serif and sans stacks, reading and page widths, and cover and feed photo crops.
Stories as Markdown/MDX
Frontmatter sets standfirst, date, section, tags, cover, caption, author and featured; MDX adds a pull quote component.
Scheduling and visibility
Future-dated stories and drafts stay out of production builds; unlisted and noindex flags control listings and exports.
Search and discovery settings
Indexing, verification, llms.txt, IndexNow and GA4 with consent are off until you enable them.
