Hugo version 0.60.1 or higher is required. View the Hugo releases and download the binary for your OS.

Logo

Favicons

Upload your image to RealFaviconGenerator then copy-paste the generated favicon files under static.

Shortcodes

See the full list of supported shortcodes.

Syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting is provided by Prism. See this markdown code fences example.

Disable toc for a blog post

Blog posts that have two or more subheadings (<h2>s) automatically get a table of contents. To disable this set toc to false. For example:

---
title: "My page with a few headings"
toc: false
---

Localization

The strings in the templates of this theme can be localized. Make a copy of <THEME_BASE_FOLDER>/i18n/en.yaml to <YOUR_SITE_FOLDER>/i18n/<YOUR_SITE_LANGUAGE>.yaml, and translate one by one, changing the translation field.

Here is a tutorial that goes more in depth about this.

Custom css

Instead of copying the theme's css file to your own installation and modifying this large file, you can provide a list of css files that will be loaded after the theme's one. This enables you to override individual style while getting theme updates when they come.

Please see the params section of the example site config.yaml for more details.

Getting help

If you run into an issue that isn't answered by this documentation or the exampleSite, then visit the Hugo forum. The folks there are helpful and friendly. Before asking your question, be sure to read the requesting help guidelines.
