blogdown `title` won't display on rendered `

I created an _index.Rmd file in my blogdown /*/content/ directory and the body of the _index.Rmd file looks like this:

---

title: "Home"

date: "2016-05-05T21:48:51-07:00"

---



```{r setup, include=FALSE}

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

```



Welcome to the home page of this blogdown site.

I would expect to see a "Home" title heading but nothing appears. I presume this is an intentional design choice. I can understand why, but in my case I want the title that I specify in the YAML to showup on the rendered _index.html file. How do I achieve this goal?

According to author's R series book you would adjust title in the config.toml file.

The TOML in my config.toml does specify title = "Home", but that only changes the title on Chrome tab (or Firefox tab). It does not insert the "Home" title on my _index.html file.

I believe it is advised not to touch the rendered .html files. Possibly some GO language process runs to render titles, footers, sidebars, etc. per theme. If you get your rendered output, why do you need to see it in .html file?

Hmmm...so About shows up (not on tab but on top of web page) but not Home And both have same R markdown? I will circle back testing on my blogdown setup. Possibly a special mapping takes place with index pages.

In this case, embed raw html code for the title, then you can specify the font-size & stuff. for example, <h2 id="title" style=" font-size: 2em; ">Put Your super fancy home title here</h2>

This is because the index (main) page has special treatment with this theme. How you can change this is go to themes/(yourtheme)/layouts/index.html. It would look something like:

{{ partial "header.html" . }}



<main class="content">



  <div class="list">

     {{ range (.Paginate ((where .Data.Pages "Type" "post").GroupByDate "2006")).PageGroups }}    

  <h2 class="list-title">{{ .Key }}</h2>

    {{ range .Pages }}



    {{ partial "list-item.html" . }}



    {{ end }}

    {{ end }}

  </div>  



  {{ partial "pagination.html" . }}



</main>



{{ partial "footer.html" . }}

Now you can edit this file to add the desired title in many ways, for example if you want the same style as a post title would have you could add between the <main class="content"> and <div class="list>:

<h1 class="article-title">Home</h1>

If you want to source the title from the .Rmd file, you would do:

<h1 class="article-title">{{ .Title }}</h1>

Now after rebuilding the site the title will appear on the homepage.
