This file contains:

Website metadata (title, description, domain)
Page structure with descriptions and keywords
Instructions for accessing page content in Markdown format

Example llms.txt Output

## LLM-Optimized Content Access

This site provides LLM-friendly Markdown output for all pages:

### Markdown Format
Append `.md` to any page URL to get plain Markdown with YAML frontmatter.
- **Example:** `https://example.com/page-slug.md`

### Multi-Language Access
Use language-specific URL prefixes with the `.md` suffix:
- **Default language:** `https://example.com/page.md`
- **English:** `https://example.com/en/page.md`

Accessing Markdown Content

Append .md to any page URL to get the content as clean Markdown with YAML frontmatter.

https://example.com/about.md

Example Markdown Output

---
title: "About Us"
description: "Learn about our company history and values."
language: en
date: 2026-01-31
canonical: "/about"
format: markdown
generator: "TYPO3 LLMs.txt Extension"
---

# About Us

> Learn about our company history and values.

## Our History

Our company was founded in 1985...

## Our Values

- Quality and reliability
- Fair and transparent prices
- Personal consultation

The YAML frontmatter contains:

title: Page title
description: Page description (from LLM or SEO settings)
language: ISO language code
date: Last modification date
canonical: Canonical URL path
format: Output format (always "markdown")
generator: Extension identifier

Accessing the Root Page

For the root/home page, use:

https://example.com/index.html.md

Or simply:

https://example.com/.md

Multi-Language Access

Access page content in different languages using the language URL prefix with the .md suffix:

# German (default language)
https://example.com/ueber-uns.md

# English
https://example.com/en/about.md

# French
https://example.com/fr/a-propos.md

The extension automatically:

Detects the language from the URL prefix
Loads the translated page content
Sets the correct language in the YAML frontmatter

Caching

The extension uses smart caching for optimal performance:

llms.txt: Cached and regenerated when TYPO3 cache is cleared
Markdown output: Cached for 24 hours per page/language combination

To force regeneration:

vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush

Or in DDEV:

ddev typo3 cache:flush

Content Filtering

The Markdown output is automatically cleaned for better LLM consumption:

Removed elements:

Scripts and styles
Navigation and footer elements
Sidebar content
Bootstrap accessibility spans (visually-hidden)
Empty anchor tags (<a id="c1"></a>)

Preserved elements:

Main content text
Headings and structure
Lists and tables
Images (converted to Markdown syntax)
Links (converted to absolute URLs)
