This makes content accessible not just for humans and screen readers, but also for AI systems that consume and process web content. Features -------- [](#features) - Converts any TYPO3 page to Markdown on-the-fly via content negotiation - Works automatically with your existing page templates - no TypoScript configuration needed - Extracts content from `` element (or `` as fallback) - Automatic `` tag for Markdown discovery - Strips navigation, header, footer, and other non-content elements - Includes page metadata (title, dates, description, categories) as YAML front matter Installation ------------ [](#installation) Use `composer req b13/ai-bots-love-markdown` or install it via TYPO3's Extension Manager. After installation, add the site set to your site configuration: ``` dependencies: - b13/ai-bots-love-markdown ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) ### Site Settings [](#site-settings) The extension provides two settings that can be configured per site (both enabled by default): SettingDefaultDescription`ai_bots_love_markdown.enableContentNegotiation``true`Enable content negotiation via `Accept: text/markdown` header`ai_bots_love_markdown.enableDiscoveryTag``true`Add `` tag to HTML pages for Markdown discoveryTo override these settings, add them to your site's `settings.yaml`: ``` ai_bots_love_markdown: enableContentNegotiation: true enableDiscoveryTag: false ``` Currently, the suffix `/ai-bots-love.md` is hardcoded on purpose. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Access Methods [](#access-methods) 1. **Accept header**: Request any page with `Accept: text/markdown` header ``` curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://example.com/my-page/ ``` 2. **URL suffix**: Append `/ai-bots-love.md` to any page URL ``` https://example.com/ai-bots-love.md ``` ### Output Format [](#output-format) The extension outputs Markdown with YAML front matter, extracting metadata from HTML meta tags with fallback to TYPO3 page record data: ``` --- title: "From og:title > > page record" url: "From canonical URL > request URL" description: "From og:description > meta description > page record" image: "From og:image (if present)" author: "From meta author > page record" date: 2024-01-15 modified: 2024-01-20 keywords: - From meta keywords categories: - From TYPO3 categories type: "From og:type (if present)" site: "From og:site_name (if present)" locale: "From og:locale (if present)" --- # Page Title Content converted to Markdown... ``` **Metadata Priority:** - `title`: og:title → `` tag → page record - `url`: canonical link → request URL - `description`: og:description → meta description → page record - `image`: og:image (if present) - `author`: meta author → page record - `date`/`modified`: page record (crdate/tstamp) - `keywords`: meta keywords (if present) - `categories`: TYPO3 sys\_category (from database) ### Auto-Discovery [](#auto-discovery) The extension automatically adds a `` tag to all HTML pages for Markdown discovery: ``` ``` ### Opt-in Behavior [](#opt-in-behavior) Pages are only converted to Markdown if they contain the `` tag. This means: - Pages without the site set enabled won't be converted - You can disable conversion for specific pages by disabling the discovery tag Technical Details ----------------- [](#technical-details) ### How It Works [](#how-it-works) 1. A PSR-15 middleware intercepts requests with `Accept: text/markdown` header or `/ai-bots-love.md` suffix 2. The normal page rendering proceeds (your existing templates, TypoScript, etc.) 3. The middleware checks if the response contains the markdown alternate link tag 4. If present, it extracts `` content (or `` as fallback) 5. The HTML is converted to Markdown using league/html-to-markdown 6. Navigation, header, footer, and other non-content elements are stripped 7. Page metadata is added as YAML front matter ### Response Headers [](#response-headers) The Markdown response includes: - `Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8` - `X-Robots-Tag: noindex` (to prevent indexing of Markdown version) ### Best Practices for Templates [](#best-practices-for-templates) For best results, wrap your main content in a `` element: ``` ... ... ... ``` License ------- [](#license) The extension is licensed under GPL v2+, same as the TYPO3 Core. Background & Authors ------------------------ [](#background--authors) This extension was created by b13 GmbH in 2026 to enable AI systems to better consume website content. As AI crawlers become increasingly important for content discovery and processing, providing a clean Markdown representation helps ensure your content is accurately understood and indexed by AI systems.
