<p>In <strong>Hugo</strong>, pages are the core of your site. Once it is configured, pages are definitely the added value to your documentation site.</p>
<h2 id="folders">Folders</h2>
<p>Organize your site like <a href="https://gohugo.io/content/organization/" target="_blank">any other Hugo project</a>. Typically, you will have a <em>content</em> folder with all your pages.</p>

<h2 id="create-your-project">Create your project</h2>
<p>The following steps are here to help you initialize your new website. If you don’t know Hugo at all, we strongly suggest you to train by following <a href="https://gohugo.io/overview/quickstart/" target="_blank">great documentation for beginners</a>.</p>
<p>Hugo provides a <code>new</code> command to create a new website.</p>
<div class="wrap-code highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell"><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo new site <new_project></span></span></code></pre></div><p>The Relearn theme provides <a href="../../cont/archetypes/">archetypes</a> to help you create this kind of pages.</p>
<h2 id="frontmatter-configuration">Frontmatter Configuration</h2>
<p>Each Hugo page has to define a <a href="https://gohugo.io/content/front-matter/" target="_blank">frontmatter</a> in <em>toml</em>, <em>yaml</em> or <em>json</em>. This site will use <em>toml</em> in all cases.</p>
<p>The Relearn theme uses the following parameters on top of Hugo ones:</p>

<h3 id="ordering-sibling-menupage-entries">Ordering sibling menu/page entries</h3>
<p>Hugo provides a <a href="https://gohugo.io/content/ordering/" target="_blank">flexible way</a> to handle order for your pages.</p>
<p>The simplest way is to set <code>weight</code> parameter to a number.</p>
<div class="wrap-code highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-toml" data-lang="toml"><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="err">+++</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="nx">title</span> <span class="p">=</span> <span class="s2">"My page"</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="nx">weight</span> <span class="p">=</span> <span class="mi">5</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="err">+++</span></span></span></code></pre></div><h3 id="using-a-custom-title-for-menu-entries">Using a custom title for menu entries</h3>
<p>By default, the Relearn theme will use a page’s <code>title</code> attribute for the menu item (or <code>linkTitle</code> if defined).</p>
<p>But a page’s title has to be descriptive on its own while the menu is a hierarchy.
We’ve added the <code>menuTitle</code> parameter for that purpose:</p>
<p>For example (for a page named <code>content/install/linux.md</code>):</p>
<div class="wrap-code highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-toml" data-lang="toml"><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="err">+++</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="nx">title</span> <span class="p">=</span> <span class="s2">"Install on Linux"</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="nx">menuTitle</span> <span class="p">=</span> <span class="s2">"Linux"</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="err">+++</span></span></span></code></pre></div><h3 id="override-expand-state-rules-for-menu-entries">Override expand state rules for menu entries</h3>
<p>You can change how the theme expands menu entries on the side of the content with the <code>alwaysopen</code> setting on a per page basis. If <code>alwaysopen=false</code> for any given entry, its children will not be shown in the menu as long as it is not necessary for the sake of navigation.</p>
<p>The theme generates the menu based on the following rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>all parent entries of the active page including their siblings are shown regardless of any settings</li>
<li>immediate children entries of the active page are shown regardless of any settings</li>
<li>if not overridden, all other first level entries behave like they would have been given <code>alwaysopen=false</code></li>
<li>if not overridden, all other entries of levels besides the first behave like they would have been given <code>alwaysopen=true</code></li>
<li>all visible entries show their immediate children entries if <code>alwaysopen=true</code>; this proceeds recursively</li>
<li>all remaining entries are not shown</li>
</ul>
<p>You can see this feature in action on the example page for <a href="../../shortcodes/children/">children shortcode</a> and its children pages.</p>
<h2 id="disable-section-pages">Disable Section Pages</h2>
<p>You may want to structure your pages in a hierachical way but don’t want to generate pages for those sections? The theme got you covered.</p>
<p>To stay with the initial example: Suppose you want <code>level-one</code> appear in the sidebar but don’t want to generate a page for it. So the entry in the sidebar should not be clickable but should show an expander.</p>
<p>For this, open <code>content/level-one/_index.md</code> and add the following frontmatter</p>
<div class="wrap-code highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-toml" data-lang="toml"><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="nx">collapsibleMenu</span> <span class="p">=</span> <span class="kc">true</span> <span class="c"># this adds the expander to the menu entry if not already set in your config.toml</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="p">[</span><span class="nx">_build</span><span class="p">]</span>
</span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"> <span class="nx">render</span> <span class="p">=</span> <span class="s2">"never"</span> <span class="c"># no page will be generated so the page does not have a url</span></span></span></code></pre></div>
