How to add a Sitemap with all your content in Eleventy 11ty

To add a sitemap with all your content in Eleventy (11ty), you can follow these steps:

1. Create a sitemap.md file in your project. This file will be used to generate the sitemap.
2. Add the following front matter and shortcode to the sitemap.md file:

---
permalink: /sitemap.xml
layout: null
eleventyExcludeFromCollections: true
---

{% sitemap collections.all %}

More details on the above template:

• permalink: /sitemap.xml: This sets the output path for the sitemap, so it will be accessible at https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml.
• layout: null: No layout is applied to the sitemap file, ensuring it outputs only the raw XML.
• eleventyExcludeFromCollections: true: This prevents the sitemap file from being included in any Eleventy collections.
• {% sitemap collections.all %}: This shortcode generates the sitemap based on all content in your Eleventy collections.

By adding this file, Eleventy will automatically generate a sitemap for all your content, which is essential for SEO and helping search engines index your site.
