Sometimes the directory structure where a post resides doesn't reflect the desired URL path for the given post.
Directory location:
/posts/my-post.md
Desired URL:
mysite.com/my-post/
In URL parlance, all of /posts/my-post is considered the "path". We can think of /posts/ as the "base path" for URL that's used by default. Therefore, we can introduce a basePath property to pages, which would then override everything before the file name in the resulting URL.
basePath should also work in _data.yaml so that it applies to all content within a directory subtree.
