Attachments

Each page in Lektor can have attachments appended. These files are stored directly in the page folder and become available publicly.

Attachment Types

For the most part Lektor does not care much about what types your attachments are but it will specially handle some. In particular image formats supported by browsers have special support for automatic thumbnailing and accessing basic image data.

The following file formats are specially handled:

Type	Extensions
Image	.jpg .jpeg .gif .png
Video	.avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .wmv, .ogv
Audio	.mp3, .wav, .ogg

Metadata

Attachments can also be given metadata. For this you need to create a lektor content file with the same name as the attachment but with .lr added as extra extension:

File	Metadata file
sunset.jpeg	sunset.jpeg.lr
code.py	code.py.lr

Attachments can be given a default model or a model can be explicitly given in the metadata content file with the _model field.

Here is a basic example:

_model: image
