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.tt states 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.
