This sample website contains published posts with meaningful categories and tags. Meerkat Markdown for AI Visibility can use this content to build an llms.txt index. Start on the plugin settings page, review the available controls, and create your first export using Generate Files Now.<\\\/p>\\n
All articles are demonstration content. Compare the WordPress post list with the generated index to see how content length, post type, and taxonomy exclusions affect the result. You can edit a sample post and regenerate the file to inspect the updated output.<\\\/p>\\nHTML\\n ),\\n array(\\n 'slug' => 'meerkat-llms-index',\\n 'title' => 'How the llms.txt Content Index Works',\\n 'category' => 'meerkat-guides',\\n 'tags' => array( 'llms-txt', 'ai-visibility' ),\\n 'content' => <<<'HTML'\\n
The llms.txt file presents selected public content in a compact, text-based format. A typical entry includes a post title, its address, and an excerpt of the content. The plugin uses WordPress queries and respects the settings chosen by the site administrator.<\\\/p>\\n
In the demo, this article should be included in the index because it is published, longer than fifteen words, and does not use an excluded category or tag. Open llms.txt after generating it, then change the word count or sorting option and compare the results.<\\\/p>\\nHTML\\n ),\\n array(\\n 'slug' => 'meerkat-exclusion-settings',\\n 'title' => 'Configure Category and Tag Exclusions',\\n 'category' => 'meerkat-settings',\\n 'tags' => array( 'configuration', 'llms-txt' ),\\n 'content' => <<<'HTML'\\n
Some public articles should stay out of a machine-readable export. Meerkat lets you exclude content by post ID, category, or tag without unpublishing the original article. This is useful for announcements, temporary campaigns, and other content that is not relevant to your primary knowledge index.<\\\/p>\\n
The demo includes a separate post in an excluded category and another post with an excluded tag. Both remain visible in the WordPress Posts screen, but should not appear in the generated llms.txt file. Toggle either checkbox in the plugin settings to test the difference.<\\\/p>\\nHTML\\n ),\\n array(\\n 'slug' => 'meerkat-dynamic-markdown',\\n 'title' => 'Dynamic Markdown URLs and Sitemap Options',\\n 'category' => 'meerkat-features',\\n 'tags' => array( 'dynamic-markdown', 'markdown' ),\\n 'content' => <<<'HTML'\\n
Besides creating an llms.txt index, the plugin can optionally expose Markdown representations of public posts and pages. These endpoints use publication and exclusion rules so that private or password-protected material does not become public merely because a Markdown URL was requested.<\\\/p>\\n
To explore this feature, enable Generate .md-files on the settings screen, save your changes, and follow a Markdown link from the generated index. The output is intended for text consumers rather than regular browser navigation. A separate Markdown sitemap option is available for compatible installations.<\\\/p>\\nHTML\\n ),\\n array(\\n 'slug' => 'meerkat-excluded-by-category',\\n 'title' => 'Demo: Excluded by Category',\\n 'category' => 'meerkat-excluded',\\n 'tags' => array( 'ai-visibility' ),\\n 'content' => <<<'HTML'\\n
This post is intentionally assigned to the Meerkat Excluded Category. The category is selected in the plugin exclusion settings when the preview starts. As a result, the post should be absent from the llms.txt export even though its publication status is public.<\\\/p>\\n
Remove the category checkbox, save the settings, and generate the export again to verify that the post becomes eligible. Restore the checkbox afterwards to test the excluded state. The WordPress post itself remains published throughout the demonstration.<\\\/p>\\nHTML\\n ),\\n array(\\n 'slug' => 'meerkat-excluded-by-tag',\\n 'title' => 'Demo: Excluded by Tag',\\n 'category' => 'meerkat-guides',\\n 'tags' => array( 'exclude-meerkat-tag' ),\\n 'content' => <<<'HTML'\\n
This published demo article carries the Exclude Meerkat Tag label. The matching tag is checked in the plugin settings from the start. The tag exclusion should remove this article from the generated llms.txt file without changing the visibility of the original WordPress post.<\\\/p>\\n
Clear the tag checkbox and regenerate the index to see the article included. Then select the tag again and regenerate to confirm it disappears. This example uses a different category than the category exclusion test, so the two controls can be examined independently.<\\\/p>\\nHTML\\n ),\\n array(\\n 'slug' => 'meerkat-too-short-to-export',\\n 'title' => 'Demo: Too Short for llms.txt',\\n 'category' => 'meerkat-guides',\\n 'tags' => array( 'configuration' ),\\n 'content' => '

Meerkat Markdown for AI Visibility collects URLs using WordPress queries and generates an llms.txt file (short for \u201cLarge Language Models\u201d) in the website\u2019s root directory \u2014 optionally providing dynamic .md files \u2014 to help AI-based systems better understand and make use of the site\u2019s content. The llms.txt is stored in the root directory. You can configure the number of URLs, set a minimum word count, and exclude specific categories or tags. File generation can be triggered manually or scheduled to run automatically.<\/p>\n\n
