Combine features of blog and docs pages?

[ghost]

Is there an easy way to combine features of blog and docs pages?

I'm building a personal portfolio style site, and what I really need is a combo of the two. For example, it'd be great to have from blog defaults things like:

• date of publishing
• tags
• index of recent posts
• index of tags
  and from docs defaults things like:
• sidebar
• table of contents
• versioning

I don't specifically need all of this, but I think it'd a powerful in general to be able to combine all/most features at will. I see that docs do have tags, but I can't find a way to easily cross-use other features.

Anyone know a way?

A brief follow up: I noticed in the plugin-cotent-blog docs there's a hide_table_of_contents with false as the default. But this doesn't seem to be implemented, since a blog post without that set to true (e.g. in the starter project) doesn't have a table of contents. Strange.

Partly solved, for the case of table of contents in a blog post. None of the examples in the started project have any headers, so no table of contents appears! When you add headers, it shows up :)

Plugins are independant and don't see each others code, so one feature of a plugin is not usable in another.

If you need sidebar and versioning, you probably want docs.

Displaying a date of publishing can be added by using a custom frontmatter and swizzle

We could add a docs flat list view page and you'd be able to preset it as "recent docs" if you really want to.

In any case, what you are looking for is something custom. We do blog, we do docs, not a custom mix in between. Be prepared to write some code to handle your specific use-case
