23+There is an option in Hakyll to produce pretty URL's, which is disabled by
24+default because it can be confusing when you're first introduced to Hakyll.
26+It can be enabled this way:
30+import Text.Hakyll.Hakyll
32+myHakyllConfiguration :: HakyllConfiguration
33+myHakyllConfiguration = defaultHakyllConfiguration
34+ { enableIndexUrl = True
37+main = hakyllWithConfiguration HakyllConfiguration $ do
41+The effect will be that the internal `toUrl` function will behave differently.
44+- `about.html` will be rendered to `about/index.html`.
45+- `posts/2010-02-16-a-post.markdown` will be rendered to
46+ `posts/2010-02-16-a-post/index.html`.
47+- However, `index.markdown` will still be rendered to `index.html`. Likewise,
48+ `posts/index.html` would be rendered to `posts.index.html`.
50+The benefit of this is simply prettier URL's. That is, if you consider
51+`example.com/about` prettier than `example.com/about.html`.
