Usage
Sections
Section titled “Sections”Sections in /llms.txt come from Starlight’s sidebar:
- Each top-level sidebar group becomes an H2 section, using its label and order.
- Nested groups are flattened into that section, and pages follow sidebar order.
- Manual and autogenerated entries are both supported.
- Published pages outside those groups, including standalone top-level links and pages hidden from the sidebar, appear
under
fallbackSection, sorted by URL. - External links are not included, empty sections are omitted, and a page linked more than once is listed only in its first matching group.
- Without sidebar groups, all pages appear in the fallback section.
Every published page is included in the /llms.txt sitemap, even if they aren’t in the sidebar.
