# Frontmatter Config
Frontmatter enables page based configuration. In every markdown file, you can use frontmatter config to override site-level or theme-level config options. Also, there are config options which you can only define in frontmatter.
Example usage:
```md
---
title: Docs with VitePress
editLink: true
---
```
You can access frontmatter data via the `$frontmatter` global in Vue expressions:
```md
{{ $frontmatter.title }}
```
## title
- Type: `string`
Title for the page. It's same as [config.title](./site-config#title), and it overrides the site-level config.
```yaml
---
title: VitePress
---
```
## titleTemplate
- Type: `string | boolean`
The suffix for the title. It's same as [config.titleTemplate](./site-config#titletemplate), and it overrides the site-level config.
```yaml
---
title: VitePress
titleTemplate: Vite & Vue powered static site generator
---
```
## description
- Type: `string`
Description for the page. It's same as [config.description](./site-config#description), and it overrides the site-level config.
```yaml

```
## head
- Type: `HeadConfig[]`
Specify extra head tags to be injected for the current page. Will be appended after head tags injected by site-level config.
```yaml
---
head:
- - meta
- name: description

content: super duper SEO
---
```
```ts
type HeadConfig =

```
## Default Theme Only
