raw.tt Template
raw.tt is the “total control” page template: whatever you type in the page body is emitted verbatim as the built HTML file. No head, no header, no footer, no theme CSS, no theme wrapper — you author the complete document.
When to choose it
- A page that should be your markup, your document: self-styled HTML shells, please-and-thank-you pages whose presentation is hand-built, tracking-only redirect pages, anything that must not inherit theme structure.
- Not for fragments. The body must be the full HTML — doctype,
<head>,<body>— exactly as it will ship. Just that body, and nothing else, becomes the page.
What still applies inside
{{block:name}}shortcodes resolve normally — you can assemble content from library blocks inside your hand-written markup.- Global and per-page head/body snippets inject only when your markup contains
</head>/</body>tags — a verification/analytics tag needs those anchors present, since insertion loops over those regions.
What explicitly does not apply
- Breadcrumbs, featured image, stacks areas, and password gating: raw pages bypass themed features by design (
raw.ttstates that in its own header). The related editor fields still exist; they just don’t render.
Selection and behavior
- Opt in per page from the template dropdown (it’s among the auto-discovered non-partial templates).
- The page still builds per language and occupies its normal URL/slug position; the built output is whatever you wrote.
Safety
Raw output satisfies the same build checks as every other page — broken links, accessibility, and other pre-promotion quality signals are scanned; a raw page failing a promote-following check still blocks (like any other content). No graces beyond the standard pipeline.
