Front Matter Reference
Every Hugo page must have front matter.
In addition to Hugo’s standard front matter, the Relearn theme offers extras settings listed here.
Throughout the documentation, theme-specific front matter is marked with a Front Matter badge.
Add theme front matter directly to the root of your page’s front matter. For example:
+++
math = true
+++
---
math: true
---
{
"math": true
}

# meta tag, social media meta information for the opengraph protocol and
# twitter cards.
