Adding a header to the home page

Hi there!

I need to add a certain <link> element inside the <head> section of my homepage, but I couldn't find out how it works. For the time being I've added the header in the EXTRA_HEAD_DATA variable in my conf.py, and while it works, it is adding the header to all pages of my site. That's not a huge issue, but it would be nicer if the header was in the homepage only (and it would avoid having to rebuild the whole site whenever that link changes!).

I think there is some way to customize the header for individual pages, but in this case I don't even have a source index.md file to work with, because the index is auto-generated by Nikola. Is there any way I can achieve the goal?

Ciao,

Alberto

You could create a template just for that page and add a extra_head block in it.

Yes, I though of creating a template for my page, but how do I apply it? I don't have a source page to apply it to, given that the index is auto-generated.

Hmmm. Good point. You could redo the one for all the indexes, but that's overkill.

I suspect there is no reasonable way to do it.

An unreasonable way is to replace the template for indexes and add logic inside it to only add the <link> for a single page :-(
