description: A modular toolkit offering automatically injected favicons for
links, set of universal filters, Markdown processors, and predefined 11ty
config with reusable npm scripts. Its unique "symlink-first" approach
streamlines 11ty development by managing all essential dependencies through a
single, maintainable package, also powering Sveleven starter.

A collection of helpful utilities and filters for Eleventy (11ty) including:

**⚡️ Zero-Config-ish Experience**: You can symlink a pre-configured `eleventy.config.js`  to get best-practice defaults (Markdown-it anchors, YAML support, TOC, etc.) or just use it as a standard plugin.

**🛠 Reusable Build Workflows**: Includes a `do`  folder setup via npm workspaces. This keeps your build/stage/start scripts separate from your project config and easily updatable via the package.

**✍️ Markup Power-ups**:

* `autoLinkFavicons` : My personal favorite—automatically adds site icons to plain URL links, making resource lists look premium instantly.
* `mdAutoRawTags` : Automatically wraps Nunjucks/Liquid syntax in `{% raw %}`  so you can write documentation about templating without everything breaking.
* `mdAutoNl2br` : Finally adds support for line breaks in Markdown tables using `\n`  sequences.

**🧩 Smart Template Filters**:

* `fetch` : A unified filter to grab content from remote URLs (with automatic caching via u/11ty`/eleventy-fetch` ) or local files.
* `section` : It lets you split a single Markdown file into named sections (using HTML comments) so you can pull specific parts into different areas of your layout.
* `attr_set`  & `attr_concat` : Easily manipulate objects and arrays inside `.njk`  or `.liquid`  templates without needing custom shortcodes.
* `merge` : A clean way to combine configuration objects or arrays directly in your templates.
