Concepts

Big ideas

The layout structure changed with Hugo 1.46. Here is a breakdown: https://gohugo.io/templates/new-templatesystem-overview/. Notable changes include the following:

• layouts/_default/ directory is removed, and all layouts files go in the layouts/.
• layouts/index.html is now layouts/home.html

• An archetype is a content template for a markdown page. A layout page is an HTML page that is generated from a markdown page. You need to associate a layout page with markdown pages generated from an archetype. For example, layouts/<file>.html is used for all pages.

  The home page is different–it generates layouts/index.html with content in content/_index.md.

• layouts/baseof.html is the skeleton for all layout files–the “base of” all files. It contains partials that define the head, header, main, etc.

• The default context for a layout page is the Page context (.).

• Partial functions take a filename and a context.
