"permalink": "/talking-about-music/{% if title %}{{title | slug}}{% endif %}{% if subject and title %}-{% endif %}{% if subject %}{{subject|slug}}{% endif %}/",
This monstrosity allows me to format the page url differently depending on if I’ve put one of these in the metadata:
A proper title for the page (example: Cursed Runes in the Form of a Song)
An album or track that the page is about (example: American War by Pitbull)
Both!
Keeping these separate allows me to specify different things when rendering the pages, but also makes horrors of verbosity like this necessary. (For context if you’re not familiar with 11ty & nunjucks, this would normally be as simple as permalink: /talking-about-music/{{ title | slug }}/)
