This page explains how to show custom taxonomies on your pages.

For more details, check the official docs on setting up custom taxonomies and using them in your content.

Default Behavior

The Relearn theme automatically shows Hugo's default taxonomies tags and categories out of the box.

• Tags appear at the top of the page in alphabetical order in form of baggage tags.
• Categories appear at the bottom of the page in alphabetical order as a list prefixed with an icon.

Each item links to a page showing all articles with that term.

Setting Up Custom Taxonomies

To add custom taxonomies, update your hugo.toml file. You also have to add the default taxonomies if you want to use them.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}} [taxonomies] category = 'categories' mycustomtag = 'mycustomtags' tag = 'tags' {{< /multiconfig >}}

Showing Custom Taxonomies

To display your custom taxonomy terms, add this to your page (usually in layouts/partials/content-footer.html):

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