planks orrrganizat'n

In Cap'n Hugo, planks be th' core o' yer ship. Once it be configured, planks be definitely th' added value t' yer documentat'n ship.

Folders

Org'nize yer ship like any other Cap'n Hugo project. Typically, ye will have a rrrambl'n folder wit' all yer planks.

Create yer project

Th' follow'n steps be here t' help ye initialize yer new website. If ye don’t know Cap'n Hugo at all, we strongly suggest ye t' train by follow'n great documentat'n fer beginners.

Cap'n Hugo provides a new command t' create a new website.

hugo new ship <new_project>

Th' Relearrrn theme provides archetypes t' help ye create this kind o' planks.

Frrrontmatter

Each Cap'n Hugo plank has t' define a frontmatter.

All Frontmatter Opt'ns

Th' values reflect example opt'ns. Th' defaults can be taken from th' annotated example below.

Some Detailed Examples

Add Ay'con t' a Menu Entry

In th' plank frontmatter, add a menuPre param t' insert any HTML code before th' menu label. Th' example below uses th' GitHub ay'con.

+++
menuPre = "<i class='fab fa-github'></i> "
title = 'GitHub repo'
+++
---
menuPre: '<i class=''fab fa-github''></i> '
title: GitHub repo
---
{
   "menuPre": "\u003ci class='fab fa-github'\u003e\u003c/i\u003e ",
   "title": "GitHub repo"
}

Title wit' icon Title wit' icon

Order'n Sibl'n Menu/Page Entries

Cap'n Hugo provides a flex'ble way t' handle order fer yer planks.

Th' simplest way be t' set weight parameter t' a number.

+++
title = 'My page'
weight = 5
+++
---
title: My plank
weight: 5
---
{
   "title": "My page",
   "weight": 5
}

Us'n a Custom Title fer Menu Entries

By default, th' Relearrrn theme will use a page’s title attribute fer th' menu item.

But a page’s title has t' be descriptive on its own while th' menu be a hierarchy. Cap'n Hugo adds th' linkTitle parameter fer that purpose:

For example (for a plank named content/install/linux.md):

+++
linkTitle = 'Linux'
title = 'Install on Linux'
+++
---
linkTitle: Linux
title: Install on Linux
---
{
   "linkTitle": "Linux",
   "title": "Install on Linux"
}

Override Expand State Rules fer Menu Entries

Ye can change how th' theme expands menu entries on th' side o' th' rrrambl'n wit' th' alwaysopen sett'n on a per plank basis. If alwaysopen=false fer any given entry, its children will not be shown 'n th' menu as long as it be not necessary fer th' sake o' navigat'n.

Th' theme generates th' menu based on th' follow'n rules:

  • all parent entries o' th' active plank includ'n their sibl'ns be shown regardless o' any sett'ns
  • immediate children entries o' th' active plank be shown regardless o' any sett'ns
  • if not overridden, all other first level entries behave like they would have been given alwaysopen=false
  • if not overridden, all other entries o' levels besides th' first behave like they would have been given alwaysopen=true
  • all vis'ble entries show their immediate children entries if alwaysopen=true; this proceeds recursively
  • all remain'n entries be not shown

Ye can see this feature 'n act'n on th' example plank fer children shortcode an' its children planks.

Dis'ble Sect'n Planks

Ye may want t' structure yer planks 'n a hierarchical way but don’t want t' generate planks fer those sections? Th' theme got ye covered.

T' stay wit' th' initial example: Suppose ye want level-one appear 'n th' sidebar but don’t want t' generate a plank fer it. So th' entry 'n th' sidebar should not be click'ble but should show an expander.

For this, open content/level-one/_index.md an' add th' follow'n frontmatter

+++
collapsibleMenu = true

[_build]
  render = 'never'
+++
---
_build:
  render: never
collapsibleMenu: true
---
{
   "_build": {
      "render": "never"
   },
   "collapsibleMenu": true
}

Arrrchetypes

Us'n th' command: hugo new [relative new rrrambl'n path], ye can start a rrrambl'n file wit' th' date an' title automatically set. While this be a welcome feature, active writers need more: archetypes. These be preconfigured skeleton planks wit' default frontmatter.

Th' Relearrrn theme defines some few archetypes o' planks but ye be free t' define new ones t' yer lik'n. All can be used at any level o' th' documentat'n, th' only difference be'n th' layout o' th' rrrambl'n.

Predefined Archetypes

Home

A Home plank be th' start'n plank o' yer project. It’s best t' have only one plank o' this kind 'n yer project.

Home page Home page

T' create a home plank, run th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind home _index.md

This leads t' a file wit' th' follow'n rrrambl'n

+++
archetype = "home"
title = "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
+++

Lorem Ipsum.

Chapter

A Chapter displays a plank meant t' be used as introduct'n fer a set o' child planks. Commonly, it contains a simple title an' a catch line t' define rrrambl'n that can be found below it.

Chapter page Chapter page

T' create a chapter plank, run th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind chapter <name>/_index.md

This leads t' a file wit' th' follow'n rrrambl'n

+++
archetype = "chapter"
title = "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
weight = 1
+++

Lorem Ipsum.

Th' weight number will be used t' generate th' subtitle o' th' chapter plank, set th' number t' a consecutive value start'n at 1 fer each new chapter level.

Default

A Default plank be any other rrrambl'n plank. If ye set an unknown archetype 'n yer frontmatter, this archetype will be used t' generate th' plank.

Default page Default page

T' create a default plank, run either one o' th' follow'n commands

hugo new <chapter>/<name>/_index.md

or

hugo new <chapter>/<name>.md

This leads t' a file wit' th' follow'n rrrambl'n

+++
title = "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
+++

Lorem Ipsum.

Self defined Archetypes

If ye be 'n need o' further archetypes ye can define yer own or even redefine exist'n ones.

Template

Define a template file 'n yer project at archetypes/<kind>.md an' make sure it has at least th' frontmatter parameter fer that archetype like

+++
archetype = "<kind>"
+++

Afterwards ye can generate new rrrambl'n files o' that kind wit' th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind <kind> <name>/_index.md

Partials

T' define how yer archetypes be rendered, define correspond'n partial files 'n yer projects directory layouts/partials/archetypes/<kind>.

If ye use an unknown archetype 'n yer frontmatter, th' default archetype will be used t' generate th' plank.

Related t' each archetype, several hook partial files 'n th' form o' <hook>.html can be given inside each archetype directory. If a partial fer a specific hook be miss'n, no output be generated fer this hook.

Th' follow'n hooks be used:

Name Notes
styleclass Defines a set o' CSS classes t' be added t' th' HTML’s <main> element. Ye can use these classes t' define own CSS rules 'n yer custom-header.html
article Defines th' HTML how t' render yer rrrambl'n

Take a look at th' exist'n archetypes o' this theme t' get an idea how t' utilize it.

Output formats

Each hook file can be overridden o' a specific output format. Eg. if ye define a new output format PLAINTEXT 'n yer hugo.toml, ye can add a file layouts/partials/archetypes/default.plaintext.html t' change th' way how normal rrrambl'n be written fer that output format.

Marrrkdown rules

Let’s face it: Writ'n rrrambl'n fer th' web be tiresome. WYSIWYG editors help alleviate this task, but they generally result 'n horr'ble code, or worse yet, ugly web planks.

Marrrkdown be a better way t' write HTML, without all th' complexities an' ugliness that usually accompanies it.

Some o' th' key benefits be:

  1. Marrrkdown be simple t' learn, wit' minimal extra characters so it’s also quicker t' write rrrambl'n.
  2. Less chance o' errors when writ'n 'n Marrrkdown.
  3. Produces valid HTML output.
  4. Keeps th' rrrambl'n an' th' visual display separate, so ye cannot mess up th' look o' yer ship.
  5. Write 'n any text editor or Marrrkdown applicat'n ye like.
  6. Marrrkdown be a joy t' use!

John Gruber, th' author o' Marrrkdown, puts it like this:

Th' overrid'n design goal fer Markdown’s formatt'n rules be t' make it as read'ble as poss'ble. Th' idea be that a Markdown-formatted document should be publish'ble as-is, as plain text, without look'n like it’s been marked up wit' tags or formatt'n instruct'ns. While Markdown’s rules has been influenced by several exist'n text-to-HTML filters, th' single biggest source o' inspirat'n fer Markdown’s rules be th' format o' plain text email. John Gruber

Standard an' Extensions

If not otherwise noted, th' shown examples adhere t' th' Commonmark standard. In addit'n th' theme supports th' follow'n extensions that can be activated 'n yer hugo.toml or be built into th' theme:

Paragraphs

In Marrrkdown yer rrrambl'n usually spans th' whole avail'ble document width. This be called a block. Blocks be always separated by whitespace t' their adjacent blocks 'n th' result'n document.

Any text not start'n wit' a special sign be written as normal, plain text paragraph block an' must be separated t' its adjacent blocks by empty lines.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus.

Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.
Result

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus.

Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.

Head'ns

A bloody idea be t' structure yer rrrambl'n us'n head'ns an' subhead'ns. HTML-head'ns from h1 through h6 be constructed wit' a # fer each level.

In Hugo ye usually don’t use h1 as this be generated by yer theme an' ye should only have one such element 'n a document.

# h1 Head'n

## h2 Head'n

### h3 Head'n

#### h4 Head'n

##### h5 Head'n

###### h6 Head'n
Result

h1 Head'n

h2 Head'n

h3 Head'n

h4 Head'n

h5 Head'n
h6 Head'n

Horizontal Rules

T' further structure yer rrrambl'n ye can add horizontal rules. They create a “thematic break” between paragraph blocks. In Marrrkdown, ye can create it wit' three consecutive dashes ---.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus.

---

Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.
Result

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus.


Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.

Blockquotes

For quot'n blocks o' rrrambl'n from another source within yer document add > before any text ye want t' quote.

Blockquotes can also be nested.

> Donec massa lacus, ultricies a ullamcorper 'n, fermentum sed augue. Nunc augue, aliquam non hendrerit ac, commodo vel nisi.
>
> > Sed adipisc'n elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis 'n dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.
>
> Mauris sit amet ligula egestas, feugiat metus tincidunt, luctus libero. Donec congue finibus tempor. Vestibulum aliquet sollicitudin erat, ut aliquet purus posuere luctus.
Result

Donec massa lacus, ultricies a ullamcorper 'n, fermentum sed augue. Nunc augue, aliquam non hendrerit ac, commodo vel nisi.

Sed adipisc'n elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis 'n dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.

Mauris sit amet ligula egestas, feugiat metus tincidunt, luctus libero. Donec congue finibus tempor. Vestibulum aliquet sollicitudin erat, ut aliquet purus posuere luctus.

Code

Inline Code

Inline snippets o' code can be wrapped wit' backticks `.

In this example, `<div></div>` be marked as code.
Result

In this example, <div></div> be marked as code.

Indented Code Block

A simple code block can be generated by indent'n several lines o' code by at least two spaces.

Be impressed by my advanced code:

    // Some comments

    line 2 o' code
    line 3 o' code
Result

Be impressed by my advanced code:

// Some comments
line 1 o' code
line 2 o' code

Fenced Code Block

If ye want t' gain more control o' yer code block ye can enclose yer code by at least three backticks ``` a so called fence.

GFM Ye can also add a language specifier directly after th' open'n fence, ```js, an' rules highlight'n will automatically be applied accord'n t' th' selected language 'n th' rendered HTML.

See Code Highlight'n fer additional documentat'n.

```js

    },
    friends: [ "Dasher", "Dancer", "Prancer", "Vixen", "Comet", "Cupid", "Donder", "Blitzen", "Rudolph" ]
};

Tables

GFM Ye can create tables by add'n pipes as dividers between each cell, an' by add'n a line o' dashes (also separated by bars) beneath th' header. Avast that th' pipes do not need t' be vertically aligned.

| Opt'n | Descript'n |
|--------|-------------|
| data   | path t' data files t' supply th' data that will be passed into templates. |
| engine | engine t' be used fer process'n templates. Handlebars be th' default. |

Result
Opt'n Descript'n
data path t' data files t' supply th' data that will be passed into templates.
engine engine t' be used fer process'n templates. Handlebars be th' default.
ext extension t' be used fer dest files.

Aligned Columns

Add'n a colon on th' left and/or right side o' th' dashes below any head'n will align th' text fer that column accordingly.

| Opt'n | Number | Descript'n |
|-------:|:------:|:------------|
| data   | 1      | path t' data files t' supply th' data that will be passed into templates. |
| engine | 2      | engine t' be used fer process'n templates. Handlebars be th' default. |

ext 3 extension t' be used fer dest files.

GFM Absolute URLs will automatically be converted into a link.

This be a link t' https://example.com.
Result

This be a link t' https://example.com.

Ye can explicitly define links 'n case ye want t' use non-absolute URLs or want t' give different text.

[Assemble](http://assemble.io)
Result

For even further informat'n, ye can add an additional text, displayed 'n a tooltip on hover'n over th' link.

[Upstage](https://github.com/upstage/ "Visit Upstage!")
Result

Links can be simplyfied fer recurr'n reuse by us'n a reference ID t' later define th' URL locat'n. This simplyfies writ'n if ye want t' use a link more than once 'n a document.

[Example][somelinkID]

[somelinkID]: https://example.com "Go t' example domain"
Result

Footnotes

PHP Footnotes work mostly like reference-style links. A footnote be made o' two th'ns, a marker 'n th' text that will become a superscript number an' a footnote definit'n that will be placed 'n a list o' footnotes.

Usually th' list o' footnotes will be shown at th' end o' yer document. If we use a footnote 'n a notice box it will instead be listed at th' end o' its box.

Footnotes can contain block elements, which means that ye can put multiple paragraphs, lists, blockquotes an' so on 'n a footnote. It works th' same as fer list items, just indent th' follow'n paragraphs by four spaces 'n th' footnote definit'n.

That's some text wit' a footnote[^1]

[^1]: An' that's th' footnote.

That's some more text wit' a footnote.[^someid]

[^someid]:
    Anyth'n o' interest goes here.

    Blue light glows blue.
Result

That’s some text wit' a footnote1

That’s some more text wit' a footnote.2


  1. An' that’s th' footnote. ↩︎

Image Effects

Relearrrn This theme allows additional non-standard formatt'n by sett'n query parameter at th' end o' th' image URL. Th' default behavior be configur'ble through yer hugo.toml or frontmatter parameter.

Resiz'n

Add query parameter width and/or height t' th' link image t' resize th' image. Values be CSS values (default be auto).

If ye want t' wrap an image 'n a link an' lightbox=true be yer default sett'n, ye have t' explicitly dis'ble th' lightbox t' avoid it t' hijack'n yer link like:

[![Homercat](https://octodex.github.com/images/homercat.png?lightbox=false)](https://octodex.github.com/#homercat)

Homercat

Image Effects

Th' theme supports non-standard image effects.

Name Descript'n
border Draws a light thin border around th' image
lazy Lets th' image be lazy boarded
lightbox Th' image will be click'ble t' show it enlarged
shadow Draws a shadow around th' image t' make it appear hovered/glow'n

As described, ye can add this t' th' URL query parameter, but this may be cumbersome t' be done consistently fer th' whole plank.

Instead, ye can configure th' defaults 'n yer hugo.toml as well as overrid'n these default 'n th' planks frontmatter.

Explicitly set URL query parameter will override th' defaults 'n effect fer a plank.

Without any sett'ns 'n yer hugo.toml this defaults t'

hugo.
[params]
  [params.imageEffects]
    border = false
    lazy = true
    lightbox = true
    shadow = false
params:
  imageEffects:
    border: false
    lazy: true
    lightbox: true
    shadow: false
{
   "params": {
      "imageEffects": {
         "border": false,
         "lazy": true,
         "lightbox": true,
         "shadow": false
      }
   }
}

This can be overridden 'n a planks frontmatter by eg.

+++
[imageEffects]
  border = true
+++
---
imageEffects:
  border: true
---
{
   "imageEffects": {
      "border": true
   }
}

Or by explicitly override sett'ns by URL query parameter

![Minion](https://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png?lightbox=false&bg-white=true)

Th' sett'ns applied t' th' above image would be

bg-white = true
border = true
lazy = true
lightbox = false
shadow = false
bg-white: true
border: true
lazy: true
lightbox: false
shadow: false
{
   "bg-white": true,
   "border": true,
   "lazy": true,
   "lightbox": false,
   "shadow": false
}

This ends up 'n th' follow'n HTML whar' th' parameter be converted t' CSS classes.

<img src="https://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png?lightbox=false&bg-white=true" load'n="lazy" alt="Minion" class="bg-white border lazy nolightbox noshadow">

Extend'n

As ye can see 'n th' above example, th' bg-white parameter be not initially supported 'n th' themes default sett'ns. Nevertheless ye be free t' define arbitrary parameter by just add'n them t' th' URL query parameter or set them 'n yer hugo.toml or planks frontmatter.

Avast

If no extended parameter like bg-white 'n th' example be set on th' URL, a class="nobg-white" 'n th' HTML will only be generated if a default value was set 'n th' hugo.toml or planks frontmatter.

Menu extrrra shorrrtcuts

Ye can define additional menu entries or shortcuts 'n th' navigat'n menu without any link t' rrrambl'n.

Basic configurat'n

Edit th' website configurat'n hugo.toml an' add a [[menu.shortcuts]] entry fer each link yer want t' add.

Example from th' current website:

hugo.
[menu]
  [[menu.shortcuts]]
    identifier = 'ds'

By default, shortcuts be preceded by a title. This title can be disabled by sett'n disableShortcutsTitle=true. However, if ye want t' keep th' title but change its value, it can be overridden by chang'n yer local i18n translat'n str'n configurat'n.

For example, 'n yer local i18n/en.toml file, add th' follow'n rrrambl'n

[Shortcuts-Title]
other = "<Your value>"

Shortcuts t' planks inside o' yer project

If ye have shortcuts t' planks inside o' yer project an' ye don’t want them t' show up 'n plank menu section, ye have two choices:

  1. Make th' plank file fer th' shortcut a headless branch bundle (contained 'n its own subdirectory an' called _index.md) an' add th' follow'n frontmatter configurat'n t' th' file (see exampleSite’s content/showcase/_index.en.md). This causes its rrrambl'n t' not be ontained 'n th' sitemap.

    +++
    title = 'Showcase'
    
    [_build]
      list = 'never'
      publishResources = true
      render = 'always'
    +++
    ---
    _build:
      list: never
      publishResources: true
      render: always
    title: Showcase
    ---
    {
       "_build": {
          "list": "never",
          "publishResources": true,
          "render": "always"
       },
       "title": "Showcase"
    }
  2. Store th' plank file fer th' shortcut below a parent headless branch bundle an' add th' follow'n frontmatter t' he parent (see exampleSite’s content/more/_index.en.md). Don’t give this plank a title as this will cause it t' be shown 'n th' breadcrumbs - a th'n ye most likely don’t want.

    +++
    [_build]
      list = 'never'
      publishResources = false
      render = 'never'
    +++
    ---
    _build:
      list: never
      publishResources: false
      render: never
    ---
    {
       "_build": {
          "list": "never",
          "publishResources": false,
          "render": "never"
       }
    }

    In this case, th' file itself can be a branch bundle, leaf bundle or simple plank (see exampleSite’s content/more/credits.en.md). This causes its rrrambl'n t' be contained 'n th' sitemap.

    +++
    title = 'Credits'
    +++
    ---
    title: Credits
    ---
    {
       "title": "Credits"
    }

Multilingual an' i18n

  • Automatic menu generat'n from multilingual rrrambl'n
  • In-browser language switch'n

I18n menu I18n menu

Basic configurat'n

Aft learn'n how Cap'n Hugo handle multilingual websites, define yer languages 'n yer hugo.toml file.

For example wit' current English an' Piratized English website.

Avast

Make sure yer default language be defined as th' first one 'n th' [languages] array, as th' theme needs t' make assumpt'ns on it

hugo.
defaultContentLanguage = 'en'

[languages]
  [languages.en]
    languageName = 'English'
    title = 'Hugo Relearrrn Theme'
    weight = 1

  [languages.pir]
    languageName = 'Arrr! Pirrrates'
    title = "Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme"
    weight = 2
defaultContentLanguage: en
languages:
  en:
    languageName: English
    title: Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme
    weight: 1
  pir:
    languageName: Arrr! Pirrrates
    title: Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme
    weight: 2
{
   "defaultContentLanguage": "en",
   "languages": {
      "en": {
         "languageName": "English",
         "title": "Hugo Relearrrn Theme",
         "weight": 1
      },
      "pir": {
         "languageName": "Arrr! Pirrrates",
         "title": "Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme",
         "weight": 2
      }
   }
}

Then, fer each new plank, append th' id o' th' language t' th' file.

  • Single file my-page.md be split 'n two files:
    • 'n English: my-page.md
    • 'n Piratized English: my-page.pir.md
  • Single file _index.md be split 'n two files:
    • 'n English: _index.md
    • 'n Piratized English: _index.pir.md
Ahoi

Be aware that only translated planks be displayed 'n menu. It’s not replaced wit' default language rrrambl'n.

Smarrrt Arrrse

Use slug frontmatter parameter t' translate urls too.

In case each page’s rrrambl'n be written 'n one single language only, th' above configurat'n will already configure th' site’s search functionality correctly.

Arrr

Although th' theme supports a wide variety o' supported languages, th' site’s search via th' Lunr search library does not. You’ll see error reports 'n yer browsers console log fer each unsupported language. Currently unsupported be:

  • Czech
  • Indonesian
  • Polish
  • Swahili

Search wit' mixed language support

In case yer page’s rrrambl'n contains text 'n multiple languages (e.g. ye be writ'n a Russian documentat'n fer yer english API), ye can add those languages t' yer hugo.toml t' broaden search.

hugo.
[params]
  additionalContentLanguage = ['en']
params:
  additionalContentLanguage:
  - en
{
   "params": {
      "additionalContentLanguage": [
         "en"
      ]
   }
}

As this be an array, ye can add multiple additional languages.

Avast

Keep 'n mind that th' language code required here, be th' base language code. E.g. if ye have additional rrrambl'n 'n zh-CN, ye have t' add just zh t' this parameter.

Overwrite translat'n str'ns

Translat'ns str'ns be used fer common default values used 'n th' theme (Edit button, Search placeholder an' so on). Translat'ns be avail'ble 'n English an' Piratized English but ye may use another language or want t' override default values.

T' override these values, create a new file 'n yer local i18n folder i18n/<idlanguage>.toml an' inspire yourself from th' theme themes/hugo-theme-relearn/i18n/en.toml

Dis'ble language switch'n

Switch'n th' language 'n th' browser be a great feature, but fer some reasons ye may want t' dis'ble it.

Just set disableLanguageSwitchingButton=true 'n yer hugo.toml

hugo.
[params]
  disableLanguageSwitchingButton = true
params:
  disableLanguageSwitchingButton: true
{
   "params": {
      "disableLanguageSwitchingButton": true
   }
}

Taxonomy

Th' Relearrrn theme supports Hugo’s default taxonomies tag an' category out o' th' box.

Configurat'n

Just add tags and/or categories t' any plank. They can be given as a single str'n or an array o' str'ns.

+++
categories = ['taxonomy', 'content']
tags = 'tutorial'
title = 'Taxonomy'
+++
---
categories:
- taxonomy
- rrrambl'n
tags: tutorial
title: Taxonomy
---
{
   "categories": [
      "taxonomy",
      "content"
   ],
   "tags": "tutorial",
   "title": "Taxonomy"
}

Behavior

Th' tags be displayed at th' top o' th' plank 'n alphabetical order.

Th' categories be displayed at th' bottom o' th' plank 'n alphabetical order 'n th' default implementat'n o' th' theme but can be customized by provid'n yer own content-footer.html partial.

Each item be a link t' a taxonomy plank display'n all th' articles wit' th' given term.

List all th' tags

In th' hugo.toml file ye can add a shortcut t' display all th' tags an' categories

hugo.
[menu]
  [[menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-tags'></i> Tags"
    url = '/tags'

  [[menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fa-fw fas fa-layer-group'></i> Categories"
    url = '/categories'
menu:
  shortcuts:
  - name: <i class='fa-fw fas fa-tags'></i> Tags
    url: /tags
  - name: <i class='fa-fw fas fa-layer-group'></i> Categories
    url: /categories
{
   "menu": {
      "shortcuts": [
         {
            "name": "\u003ci class='fa-fw fas fa-tags'\u003e\u003c/i\u003e Tags",
            "url": "/tags"
         },
         {
            "name": "\u003ci class='fa-fw fas fa-layer-group'\u003e\u003c/i\u003e Categories",
            "url": "/categories"
         }
      ]
   }
}

Customizat'n

If ye define custom taxonomies an' want t' display a list o' them somewhere on yer plank (often 'n th' layouts/partials/content-footer.html) ye can call a partial that does th' job fer ye:

{{ partial "term-list.html" (dict
  "page" .
  "taxonomy" "categories"
  "icon" "layer-group"
) }}
