Usage

By default all non-hidden folders/pages/entries will be scanned and included in the sitemap. It adds the URL of the folder/page/entry, adds the last modification time(lastmod) and based on how long the last change is made, sets the change frequency(changefreq) accordingly and adds the weight of the page(priority). The priority can be set between 0 and 1 and is by default 0.5. If you want to change the priority for a page, you can add the variable priority: 0.6 to the YAML prematter of the markdown file.
