can I write docs pages with starlight without providing a frontmatter title but it being inferred by the filename?

Hi @molten matrix. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

No — Starlight requires a title in frontmatter for every docs page.

The frontmatter reference explicitly marks title as required: “You must provide a title for every page.” [Frontmatter fields] Starlight does not document any behavior to infer the title from the filename if you omit it, and the authoring guide also states that “Every page must include at least a title.” [Authoring content]

So, for src/content/docs/... pages, you should always include:

---
title: My page title
---

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
