blogdown_template() creates YAML based on your blogdown theme archetypes. blogdown is based on Hugo, which supports many custom themes. Each theme uses YAML in a different way. However, many come with archetypes that define the YAML or TOML. To find out which types your theme has, use blogdown_archetypes() to see what's available. Use blogdown_template() to specify the archetype and it will convert the template to YAML that you can use in your post.
