Export content as Markdown & HTML for any platform.
Not every publishing workflow runs through WordPress or webhooks. Newsmill exports pipeline content as clean Markdown and HTML files with structured frontmatter — ready for Hugo, Gatsby, Astro, Jekyll, or any system that consumes structured content files.
Overview
Newsmill's export feature produces clean Markdown files with YAML frontmatter containing article metadata: title, date, author, category, tags, excerpt, source URL, and any custom fields from your pipeline template. The body content uses standard CommonMark Markdown that renders correctly in any parser.
HTML export provides the same content in semantic HTML with clean class names. No inline styles, no framework-specific markup — just well-structured HTML elements that your CSS can style. Both formats include the same frontmatter metadata, making it easy to ingest into any content management system.
For teams using Git-based publishing workflows, exports can flow into your content repository and CI/CD pipeline, fitting editorial review processes built on Git branching and code review.
Setup guide
Select Markdown or HTML as the output format for a pipeline. Markdown suits static site generators and Git-based workflows; HTML suits systems that accept HTML content blocks.
Choose which metadata appears in the frontmatter — title, date, author, category, tags, excerpt, and any custom fields your site expects.
Download exports from your dashboard, sync them to a Git repository, or deliver them to your build pipeline — whatever fits your workflow.
Point your static site generator or CMS at the exported content. New articles flow in automatically, ready for your existing build and review process.
Advanced configuration & troubleshooting
Static site generators: Markdown and HTML exports work with Hugo, Gatsby, Astro, Jekyll, and other generators that consume content with frontmatter — for end-to-end automation from news source to published static site.
Git and CI/CD: Exports fit Git-based publishing and CI/CD pipelines, so new content can flow straight into your existing build, review, and deploy process.
Bulk export: Publishing in batches? Export a range of articles at once for batch import into any platform.
Custom frontmatter: If your platform expects specific fields — canonical URL, OpenGraph image, reading time — configure the frontmatter to include them, populated automatically from article metadata.
