Media: photos, video, music

Project Broadsheet includes structured content types for photo galleries, embedded video, and music playlists. Each has a dedicated template and data model.

Beyond articles, reviews, and the library, Project Broadsheet supports three dedicated media types: photo galleries, embedded video, and music playlists. Each has its own folder, front-matter schema, and layout, so readers can browse them as first-class content rather than attachments to articles.

Photo gallery

An optional description of the shoot.

The /photos/ index lets readers filter by category, license, or source. Each gallery page shows every image in order with caption, alt text, and metadata.

Video

Videos live at src/content/videos/{slug}.md:

---
layout: layouts/video.njk

Description in Markdown, shown below the embedded player.

Supported providers: youtube, vimeo, self-hosted (with a video_src field pointing to an MP4). Transcripts are optional but improve accessibility and SEO.

Music

Music lives at src/content/music/{slug}.md:

---
layout: layouts/music.njk
title: "Reading soundtrack: autumn edition"
date: 2026-10-01
tracks:
  - title: "Clair de Lune"
    composer: "Claude Debussy"
    url: "https://example.com/track-1.mp3"
    duration: "5:10"
  - title: "Gymnopédie No. 1"
    composer: "Erik Satie"
    url: "https://example.com/track-2.mp3"
    duration: "3:24"

The music layout includes a persistent mini-player in the corner; switching pages doesn't stop playback. YouTube URLs work as a fallback if you don't have self-hosted audio.

What to do next
