This template contains all the possible metadata you can add to a post, and some sample markdown for the content (see [full markdown guide](/guide/using-markdown/)).

You don’t have to use this template, but it may be helpful.

To use it, create a new subfolder for your post, add an `index.md` file in the subfolder and copy in template below.

All metadata is optional except for the title and date. Delete any lines you do not need.

```markdown { .nhsuk-code--button }
