The markdown formatter runs flexmark over every *.md in the tree, including the Doxia sources under src/site/markdown. Those pages open with a YAML front matter block carrying the page title, author and date, and flexmark rewrites the fence that closes it, so the metadata is lost and the page falls back to its first heading for a title. The excludes list also nested <excludes> inside itself where a single <exclude> was meant.

The markdown formatter runs flexmark over every
*.mdin the tree, including the Doxia sources undersrc/site/markdown. Those pages open with a YAML front matter block carrying the page title, author and date:flexmark reformats that: it inserts a blank line after the opening fence, de-indents the author list, and rewrites the closing
---as a longer run of dashes. The block is then no longer front matter, so the page loses its<meta name="author">and takes its<title>from the first heading instead of the document title.This came up while restoring metadata that was dropped when the Maven and Plexus site pages were converted from APT to Markdown — the converted pages cannot keep their metadata in a project that inherits this configuration.
Verified against modello with the parent installed locally:
spotless:checkpasses, and the built site regains its author meta tags and the correct page title.The excludes list also nested
<excludes>inside itself where a single<exclude>was meant.
