Google search seems to take website/ and website/index.html as two different pages and thinks one is a duplicate and therefore could not index it. And all page links in the sitemap file are with the /index.html . Add a element with the attribute rel="canonical" to the section of duplicate pages, pointing to the canonical page. My question is how to do that in Quarto? Any thoughts will be appreciated. |

Thank you for the detailed instruction. I have the sitemap setup and also added it to the robots.tex file. However, there are pages that still have indexing problems. More general question: is there a way to add user-defined code or contents to the section? |

Interesting. @dragonstyle we should probably look into this from our own quarto.org website to see if we can observe the same.

As of today, I have the same issue with Google Search Console. A simple hack to add a canonical (and to solve this issue) is to use metadata and the metadata.html HTML Partials ExampleSet in the yaml front mater of your document $if(canonical)$<link rel="canonical" href="$canonical$" />$endif$ |

I was also having similar issues with page indexing from Google Search Console. It seems like the fix is to add rel="canonical" tags to each canonical page's html header. Automatically add rel="canonical" link tags to pagesI wrote this python script add-canonicals.py which reads page urls from the sitemap and then adds the correct canonical link tag in the html header of each page. You can automatically run the script after rendering by adding it to the root of your project and adding it as a post-render command in your |
