Collection: Default Settings & Template

This allows you to customize the defaults used in Collections, as well as the Buttons which generate the code in the Editor.

These defaults can always be overridden when using a Collection. Simply add the option you need.

Defaults

default_source - set your default source for Collections: posts, pages, documentation
default_post_type - set your default post_type for Collections: article, podcast, video, all
default_order - set your default order for Collections: date, date-asc, title, filename - using filename allows you to create a specific order, e.g. (01-first-post, 02-second-post) by editing the names of the files.
default_limit - set your default limit - any number or all
default_template - list, links, compact, full,
items_per_page - this sets the number of items when show_more: true is in the Collection. These apply to items in pagination.

This button drops a collection template into your Markdown. This is where that template lives.
