+### `defaultPlatform`

+- Purpose: Override the initial platform selection for a page. If this frontmatter is omitted, then the platform-specific content matching the reader's operating system is shown by default. This behavior can be changed for individual pages, for which a manual selection is more reasonable. For example, most GitHub Actions runners use Linux and their operating system is independent of the reader's operating system.

-The platform-specific content matching the reader's operating system shows by default. You can override this behavior for individual Markdown files with the `defaultPlatform` frontmatter (such as for pages about GitHub Actions runners, which mostly use Linux):
-
-```

-title: …
-versions: …
-defaultPlatform: linux

+You can define a default platform in the frontmatter, see the [content README](../content/README.md#defaultplatform).
