(remember to declare the X·H·T·M·L namespace!), and you should give it
a `@lang` attribute as well. An example is provided.
-The `@data-shrine-header` and `@data-shrine-footer` attributes on the
-root elements of your pages specify the names of the header and footer
-to use on the page. You can use headers and footers to supply page
-navigation, branding, and so forth. For each header and footer you
-specify, you will need to create a corresponding `$-header.xml` or
-`$-footer.xml` (where `$` is the header/footer name) which provides
-the contents. These files should be placed in *this* (repository root)
-directory, not in `sources/`.

+## Advanced Features
+
+### Slots
+
+You can use the `@slot` attribute with a few special values to insert
+content in various places :—
+
+- `@slot="shrine-head"` will place the content into the `<head>` of
+ the resulting document. This is especially useful for `<title>`,
+ `<meta>`, and `<style>` elements.
+
+- For `shrine-header` and `shrine-footer`, there are `-before` and
+ `-after` slot names which will place content into the beginning or
+ ending of the shrine header or footer, respectively.
+
+- You can define your own slots with `<slot>` in templates, headers,
+ and footers; this will enable a corresponding `@slot` name beginning
+ with `shrine-template-slot-`, `shrine-header-slot-` or
+ `shrine-footer-slot`, respectively.
+
+### Microdata
+
+You can use the H·T·M·L `@itemprop` attribute to define metadata for
+your site pages. The following values are supported :—
+
+- `shrine-title`: The title of the page.
+
+- `shrine-id`: A persistent, globally‐unique identifier for the page.
+
+- `shrine-updated`: The datetime that the page was last updated.
+
+Multiple values for a single `@itemprop` are not currently supported.
+Where possible, X·M·L markup will be preserved when accessing metadata
+values.
+
+### Atom Feeds
Any `.atom` files you provide will automatically be filled out with
`<id>`s, `<updated>` values, and other necessary information before
`make` to allow the X·S·L·T to transform relative links into absolute
ones.
-It is recommended that :—
-
-- You do *not* provide your own `<id>`s and rely on the generated ones
- (which will be an `oai:` URI derived from the file path).
-
-- You *do* manually provide `<updated>` times for individual entries
- (although not the feed as a whole); otherwise every entry will be
- marked as updated every time the feed is generated.
-
-- All `<link rel="alternate">` elements in `<entry>` elements use a
- relative `@href` with a leading slash. This should point to the
- *final* location of the entry (within, but not including, `public/`).
-
There’s an example `feed.atom` provided so you can see what this
- feature might look like in practice.

- If you delete files from `sources/`, the corresponding files in
`public/` will **not** be deleted and will need to be manually
removed. An easy way to ensure that there are no outdated files in
