title: Description
tags:
- plugin/transformer
---
This plugin generates descriptions that are used as metadata for the HTML `head`, the [[RSS Feed]] and in [[folder and tag listings]] if there is no main body content, the description is used as the text between the title and the listing.
If the frontmatter contains a `description` property, it is used (see [[authoring content#Syntax]]). Otherwise, the plugin will do its best to use the first few sentences of the content to reach the target description length.
> [!note]
> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[Configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
- `descriptionLength`: the maximum length of the generated description. Default is 150 characters. The cut off happens after the first _sentence_ that ends after the given length.
