## Machine-readable

- Markdown twin: append `.md` to the URL of any guide, place, event, news item, topic archive or region archive, or to /about, /faq and /privacy. https://sardinia.blog/<slug>.md returns the same content as the HTML page in Markdown, with YAML frontmatter carrying the title, canonical URL, locale, dates, author, taxonomy and coordinates, in every language. Requesting an ordinary page URL with `Accept: text/markdown` returns the same thing. The listing pages (/blog, /news, /events, /places, /regions, /authors) and the climate pages have no twin.
- [Full content index](https://sardinia.blog/llms-full.txt): every published page on the site with a one-line description
- [Sitemap](https://sardinia.blog/sitemap.xml): all published content with last-modified dates and hreflang alternates
- [RSS feed](https://sardinia.blog/feed.xml): the 30 most recent guides
- Calendar: every event page has an iCalendar file at https://sardinia.blog/events/<slug>/event.ics
- Languages: English is unprefixed. French, Italian, German and Dutch live under /fr, /it, /de, /nl. Slugs are translated rather than shared, so a locale URL cannot be derived from the English one; sitemap.xml lists every one of them with hreflang.
