404.html appearing in sitemap.xml

[henrywright]

I have a 404.html file in my root. When I view the contents of sitemap.xml, I see:

...
<url>
<loc>https://example.com/404.html</loc>
</url>
...

Should this page be excluded from the sitemap?

@henrywright You can add sitemap: false in the front matter of the file to exclude unwanted pages from the sitemap manually.

Thanks for the info.

I can't imagine a case where you'd want the 404 in the sitemap... I'm thinking this should be excluded by default.

Any objection to auto-excluding where page.url == '/404.html'? If so, is anyone interested in creating a pull request to implement this?
