Get started with Hugo

Install Hugo.

For Homebrew on Mac:
```
$ brew install hugo
```
Create a site:
```
$ hugo new site yourproject
```
Create a post:
```
$ cd yourproject
$ hugo new my-post.md
```

See Hugo's quick start guide for more information.

Install

Customize

Include

If this file exists in the site	It is included at
`partials/paige/body-first.html`	The beginning of the body tag
`partials/paige/body-last.html`	The end of the body tag
`partials/paige/footer-first.html`	The beginning of the footer tag
`partials/paige/footer-last.html`	The end of the footer tag
`partials/paige/head-first.html`	The beginning of the head tag
`partials/paige/head-last.html`	The end of the head tag
`partials/paige/header-first.html`	The beginning of the header tag
`partials/paige/header-last.html`	The end of the header tag
`partials/paige/main-first.html`	The beginning of the main tag
`partials/paige/main-last.html`	The end of the main tag

Override

Most code is in partial templates that are included by the default layouts. Elements can be added, changed, or removed easily by overriding the corresponding default layout or partial template.

For example, the default layouts home.html, list.html, single.html, taxonomy.html, and term.html include the partial template paige/article.html. paige/article.html includes the partial templates paige/metadata.html, paige/toc.html, and paige/content.html. To change the page title for those default layouts, change paige/metadata.html. To change the page title for single.html, replace the use of paige/article.html in single.html with the use of paige/metadata.html, paige/toc.html, and paige/content.html, then replace that use of paige/metadata.html with your own design.

Define

These optional CSS classes can be defined how you want:

.paige-draft: Applied to the title of draft pages in the list and term default layouts.
.paige-expired: Applied to the title of expired pages in the list and term default layouts.
.paige-future: Applied to the title of future pages in the list and term default layouts.
.paige-modified: Applied to the title of modified pages in the list and term default layouts.
.paige-published: Applied to the title of published pages in the list and term default layouts.
.paige-unpublished: Applied to the title of unpublished (draft, expired, future) pages in the list and term default layouts.

Design

The HTML author is the page authors, if any.

The HTML description is the page description, if any.

The HTML keywords is a union of the page keywords, tags, and categories, if any.

The HTML title is the page title, followed by a middle dot, followed by the site title. If one is missing, the other is used without the middle dot. For the home page, the title is the page title, if any, or the site title otherwise.

The HTML body can have a header, a body, and a footer. The header has the menu, if any; the page title, if any; the page description, if any; the page authors, if any; and the page date, if any. The body has the page content, if any. The footer has the copyright notice, if any; and the theme link, if any.

The page title and description can be Markdown. Markup is stripped for HTML and RSS titles.

The page title is displayed in an h1 tag, so page content headers must start with h2.

The page date is the publish date, if any.

Implementation

Bootstrap 5.3.0-alpha1 CSS and JavaScript and Bootstrap Icons 1.10.3 are used unless overridden.

Hugo names, HTML names, CSS names, and JavaScript names that begin with "paige" capitalized in any way are reserved.
