Hugo

This blog is generated using Hugo and so far I like it. Hugo is a framework for building websites, a static site generator (SSG). The abundance of themes can be a little overwhelming.

Hugo Functions

 Posted on July 29, 2023  |  

Go templates are lightweight but extensible. Go itself supplies built-in functions, including comparison operators and other basic tools. These are listed in the Go template documentation. Hugo has added additional functions to the basic template logic.

Hugo New Content

 Posted on July 27, 2023  |  

Can I bypass ‘hugo new content’?

I use VS Code as my IDE of choice. Often, when starting a new page (or post) for Hugo, I would like to copy a current page and modify the copy rather than starting from an empty new page. I can do that easily from within the IDE without having to access a command line to issue a command like hugo new folder/folder2/folder3/filename.md

Why can’t I just create a .md file using VS in any subfolder of the content folder?

Draft True

 Posted on July 27, 2023  |  

In my setup hugo new filename creates a file with front matter that says draft: true

When ready to publish I had been changing the true to false draft: false I discovered today that removing the ‘draft: true’ line entirely has the same effect with less typing required.
