5.14.0 (2023-05-19)
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The taxonomy pages received some love in this release, making them better leverage available screen space and adding translation support for the taxonomy names.
Hugo's default taxonmies
tags
andcategories
are already contained in the theme's i18n files. If you have self-defined taxonomies, you can add translations by adding them to your own i18n files. If you don't provide translations, the singualar and plural forms are taken as configured in yourconfig.toml
. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} To give you more flexibility in customizing your article layout a new partial
content-header.html
is introduced.This came out of the requirement to customize the position of article tags, which by default are displayed above the title. A second requirement was to also show additional taxonomies not supported by the theme natively. While Hugo supports tags and categories by default, the theme only displays tags.
So how to adjust the position of tags starting from the theme's default where tags are only shown above the title?
- Hide tags above title: Overwrite
content-header.html
with an empty file. - Show tags between title and content: Overwrite
heading-post.html
and add{{- partial "tags.html" . }}
to it. - Show tags below content: Overwrite
content-footer.html
and add{{- partial "tags.html" . }}
to it.
- Hide tags above title: Overwrite
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The new parameter
breadcrumbSeparator
is now available in yourconfig.toml
to change the - well - separator of the breadcrumb items. An appropriate default is in place if you do not configure anything.
5.13.0 (2023-05-17)
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The
swagger
shortcode was deprecated in favor for the [openapi
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/openapi" %}}). You don't need to change anything yet as the old name will be used as a fallback. It is planned to remove theswagger
shortcode in the next major release.Additionally, the implemantion of this shortcode was switched from RapiDoc to SwaggerUI.
5.12.0 (2023-05-04)
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} In the effort to comply with WCAG standards, the implementation of the collapsible menu was changed (again). While Internet Explorer 11 has issues in displaying it, the functionality still works.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Support for the great VSCode Front Matter extension which provides on-premise CMS capabilties to Hugo.
The theme provides Front Matter snippets for its shortcodes. Currently only English and German is supported. Put a reference into your
frontmatter.json
like this{ ... "frontMatter.extends": [ "./vscode-frontmatter/snippets.en.json" ] ... }
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Support for languages that are written right to left (like Arabic) is now complete and extended to the menu, the top navigation bar and print. You can experience this in the [pirate translation]({{%relref path="basics/migration" lang="pir" %}}). This feature is not available in Internet Explorer 11.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The scrollbars are now colored according to their variant color scheme to better fit into the visuals.
5.11.0 (2023-02-07)
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The theme removed the popular jQuery library from its distribution.
In case you made changes to the theme that are dependend on this library you can place a copy of jQuery into your
static/js
directory and load it from your ownlayouts/partials/custom-header.html
like this:<script src="{{"js/jquery.min.js"| relURL}}" defer></script>
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} [Mermaid]({{% relref "shortcodes/mermaid#parameter" %}}) diagrams can now be configured for pan and zoom on site-, page-level or individually for each graph.
The default setting of
on
, in effect since 1.1.0, changed back tooff
as there was interference with scrolling on mobile and big pages. -
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The theme is now capable to visually [adapt to your OS's light/dark mode setting]({{%relref "basics/customization/#adjust-to-os-settings" %}}).
This is also the new default setting if you haven't configured
themeVariant
in yourconfig.toml
.Additionally you can configure the variants to be taken for light/dark mode with the new
themeVariantAuto
parameter.This is not supported for Internet Explorer 11, which still displays in the
relearn-light
variant. -
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The JavaScript code for handling image lightboxes (provided by Featherlight) was replaced by a CSS-only solution.
This also changed the [lightbox effects]({{% relref "cont/markdown#lightbox" %}}) parameter from
featherlight=false
tolightbox=false
. Nevertheless you don't need to change anything as the old name will be used as a fallback. -
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} In the effort to comply with WCAG standards, the implementation of the [
expand
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/expand" %}}) was changed. While Internet Explorer 11 has issues in displaying it, the functionality still works. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Translation for Czech. This language is not supported for search.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} GitHub releases are also now tagged for the main version (eg.
1.2.x
), major version (eg.1.x
) and the latest (justx
) release making it easier for you to pin the theme to a certain version.
5.10.0 (2023-01-25)
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The [
attachments
]({{% relref "shortcodes/attachments" %}}), [badge
]({{% relref "shortcodes/badge" %}}), [button
]({{% relref "shortcodes/button" %}}) and [notice
]({{% relref "shortcodes/notice" %}}) shortcodes have a new parametercolor
to set arbitrary CSS color values.Additionally the
--ACCENT-color
brand color introduced in version 5.8.0 is now supported with these shortcodes.
5.9.0 (2022-12-23)
-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} With this version it is now possible to not only have sections on the first menu level but also pages.
It was later discovered, that this causes pages only meant to be displayed in the
More
section of the menu and stored directly inside yourcontent
directory to now show up in the menu aswell.To get rid of this undesired behavior you have two choices:
-
Make the page file for the
More
section a headless branch bundle (contained in its own subdirectory and called_index.md
) and add the following frontmatter configuration to the file (see exampleSite'scontent/showcase
). This causes its content to not be contained in the sitemap.[_build] render = "never" list = "never" publishResources = false
-
Store the page file for the
More
section below a parent headless branch bundle and add the following frontmatter to the parent. In this case, the file itself can be a branch bundle, leaf bundle or simple page (see exampleSite'scontent/more/
andcontent/more/credits
). This causes its content to be contained in the sitemap.[_build] render = "always" list = "never" publishResources = true
-
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The required folder name for the [
attachments
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/attachments" %}}) was changed for leaf bundles.Previously, the attachments for leaf bundles in non-multilang setups were required to be in a
files
subdirectory. For page bundles and leaf bundles in multilang setups they were always required to be in a_index.<LANGCODE>.files
orindex.<LANGCODE>.files
subdirectory accordingly.This added unnessessary complexity. So attachments for leaf bundles in non-multilang setups can now also reside in a
index.files
directory. Although the oldfiles
directory is now deprecated, if both directories are present, only the oldfiles
directory will be used for compatiblity. -
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} Absolute links prefixed with
http://
orhttps://
are now opened in a separate browser tab.You can revert back to the old behavior by defining
externalLinkTarget="_self"
in theparams
section of yourconfig.toml
. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The theme now supports Hugo's module system.
5.8.0 (2022-12-08)
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The new [
badge
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/badge" %}}) is now available to add highly configurable markers to your content as you can see it on this page. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The new [
icon
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/icon" %}}) simplyfies the usage of icons. This can even be combined with also newbadge
shortcode. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The theme now supports some of GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) syntax and Hugo Markdown extensions, namely [task lists]({{% relref "cont/markdown#tasks" %}}), [defintion lists]({{% relref "cont/markdown#defintions" %}}) and [footnotes]({{% relref "cont/markdown#footnotes" %}}).
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} A new color
--ACCENT-color
was introduced which is used for highlightning search results on the page. In case you simply don't care, you don't need to change anything in your variant stylesheet as the oldyellow
color is still used as default.
5.7.0 (2022-11-29)
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The Korean language translation for this theme is now available with the language code
ko
. Formerly the country codekr
was used instead. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The [
button
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/button" %}}) can now also be used as a real button inside of HTML forms - although this is a pretty rare use case. The documentation was updated accordingly. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The search now supports the Korean language.
5.6.0 (2022-11-18)
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} This release introduces an additional dedicated search page. On this page, displayed search results have more space making it easier scanning thru large number of results.
To activate this feature, you need to [configure it]({{% relref "basics/configuration#activate-dedicated-search-page" %}}) in your
config.toml
as a new outputformatSEARCHPAGE
for the home page. If you don't configure it, no dedicated search page will be accessible and the theme works as before.You can access the search page by either clicking on the magnifier glass or pressing enter inside of the search box.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Keyboard handling for the TOC and search was improved.
Pressing
CTRL+ALT+t
now will not only toggle the TOC overlay but also places the focus to the first heading on opening. Subsequently this makes it possible to easily select headings by using theTAB
key.The search received its own brand new keyboard shortcut
CTRL+ALT+f
. This will focus the cursor inside of the the search box so you can immediately start your search by typing. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} You are now able to turn off the generation of generator meta tags in your HTML head to hide the used versions of Hugo and this theme.
To [configure this]({{% relref "basics/configuration#global-site-parameters" %}}) in your
config.toml
make sure to set Hugo'sdisableHugoGeneratorInject=true
and also[params] disableGeneratorVersion=true
, otherwise Hugo will generate a meta tag into your home page automagically. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Creation of your project gets a little bit faster with this release.
This addresses increased build time with the 5.x releases. The theme now heavily caches partial results leading to improved performance. To further increase performance, unnecessary parts of the page are now skipped for creation of the print output (eg. menus, navigation bar, etc.).
5.5.0 (2022-11-06)
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The way images are processed has changed. Now images are lazy loaded by default which speeds up page load on slow networks and/or big pages and also the print preview.
For that the JavaScript code to handle the [lightbox and image effects]({{% relref "cont/markdown#further-image-formatting" %}}) on the client side was removed in favour for static generation of those effects on the server.
If you have used HTML directly in your Markdown files, this now has the downside that it doesn't respect the effect query parameter anymore. In this case you have to migrate all your HTML
img
URLs manually to the respective HTML attributes.Old New <img src="pic.png?width=20vw&classes=shadow,border">
<img src="pic.png" style="width:20vw;" class="shadow border">
5.4.0 (2022-11-01)
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} [With the proper settings]({{% relref "basics/configuration#serving-your-page-from-the-filesystem" %}}) in your
config.toml
your page is now servable from the local file system usingfile://
URLs.Please note that the searchbox will only work for this if you reconfigure your outputformat for the homepage in your
config.toml
fromJSON
toSEARCH
. The now deprecatedJSON
outputformat still works as before, so there is no need to reconfigure your installation if it is only served fromhttp://
orhttps://
. -
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The [
button
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/button" %}}) has a new parametertarget
to set the destination frame/window for the URL to open. If not given, it defaults to a new window/tab for external URLs or is not set at all for internal URLs. Previously even internal URLs where opened in a new window/tab. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The [
math
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/math" %}}) and [mermaid
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/mermaid" %}}) now also support thealign
parameter if codefence syntax is used. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Support for languages that are written right to left (like Arabic). This is only implemented for the content area but not the navigation sidebar. This feature is not available in Internet Explorer 11.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Translation for Finnish (Suomi).
5.3.0 (2022-10-07)
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} In the effort to comply with WCAG standards, the implementation of the collapsible menu was changed. The functionality of the new implementation does not work with old browsers (Internet Explorer 11).
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} [Image formatting]({{% relref "cont/markdown#add-css-classes" %}}) has two new classes to align images to the
left
orright
. Additionally, the already existinginline
option is now documented. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Printing for the [
swagger
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/openapi" %}}) was optimized to expand sections that are usually closed in interactive mode. This requires [print support]({{%relref "basics/configuration#activate-print-support" %}}) to be configured.
5.2.0 (2022-08-03)
- {{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} If you've set
collapsibleMenu = true
in yourconfig.toml
, the menu will be expanded if a search term is found in a collapsed submenu. The menu will return to its initial collapse state once the search term does not match any submenus.
5.1.0 (2022-07-15)
-
{{% badge color="fuchsia" icon="fab fa-hackerrank" title=" " %}}0.95.0{{% /badge %}} This release requires a newer Hugo version.
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} Because the print preview URLs were non deterministic for normal pages in comparison to page bundles, this is now changed. Each print preview is now accessible by adding a
index.print.html
to the default URL.You can revert this behavior by overwriting the PRINT output format setting in your
config.toml
to:[outputFormats] [outputFormats.PRINT] name= "PRINT" baseName = "index" path = "_print" isHTML = true mediaType = 'text/html' permalinkable = false
5.0.0 (2022-07-05)
-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} The theme changed how JavaScript and CSS dependencies are loaded to provide a better performance. In case you've added own JavaScript code that depends on the themes jQuery implementation, you have to put it into a separate
*.js
file (if not already) and add thedefer
keyword to thescript
element. Eg.<script defer src="myscript.js"></script>
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The way [archetypes]({{% relref "cont/archetypes" %}}) are used to generate output has changed. The new systems allows you, to redefine existing archetypes or even generate your own ones.
Your existing markdown files will still work like before and therefore you don't need to change anything after the upgrade. Nevertheless, it is recommended to adapt your existing markdown files to the new way as follows:
-
for your home page, add the frontmatter parameter
archetype = "home"
and remove the leading heading -
for all files containing the deprecated frontmatter parameter
chapter = true
, replace it witharchetype = "chapter"
and remove the leading headings
-
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The frontmatter options
pre
/post
were renamed tomenuPre
/menuPost
. The old options will still be used if the new options aren't set. Therefore you don't need to change anything after the upgrade. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Adding new partials
heading-pre.html
/heading-post.html
and according frontmatter optionsheadingPre
/headingPost
to modify the way your page`s main heading gets styled. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The new shortcode

-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} The second parameter for the [
include
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/include" %}}) was switched in meaning and was renamed fromshowfirstheading
tohidefirstheading
. If you haven't used this parameter in your shortcode, the default behavior hasn't changed and you don't need to change anything.If you've used the second boolean parameter, you have to rename it and invert its value to achieve the same behavior.
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} Previously, if the [
tabs
shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/tabs" %}}) could not find a tab item because, the tabs ended up empty. Now the first tab is selected instead. -
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} The
landingPageURL
was removed fromconfig.toml
. You can safely remove this as well from your configuration as it is not used anymore. The theme will detect the landing page URL automatically. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} All shortcodes can now be also called from your partials. Examples for this are added to the documentation of each shortcode.
4.1.0 (2022-06-12)
- {{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} While fixing issues with the search functionality for non Latin languages, you can now [configure to have multiple languages on a single page]({{% relref "cont/i18n/#search-with-mixed-language-support" %}}).
4.0.0 (2022-06-05)
-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} The
custom_css
config parameter was removed from the configuration. If used in an existing installation, it can be achieved by overriding thecustom-header.html
template in a much more generic manner. -
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} Because anchor hover color was not configurable without introducing more complexity to the variant stylesheets, we decided to remove
--MAIN-ANCHOR-color
instead. You don't need to change anything in your custom color stylesheet as the anchors now get their colors from--MAIN-LINK-color
and--MAIN-ANCHOR-HOVER-color
respectively. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} All shortcodes now support named parameter. The positional parameter are still supported but will not be enhanced with new features, so you don't need to change anything in your installation.
This applies to [
expand
]({{% relref "shortcodes/expand" %}}), [include
]({{% relref "shortcodes/include" %}}), [notice
]({{% relref "shortcodes/notice" %}}) and [siteparam
]({{% relref "shortcodes/siteparam" %}}). -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The [
button
]({{% relref "shortcodes/button" %}}) shortcode received some love and now has a parameter for the color style similar to other shortcodes. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} New colors
--PRIMARY-color
and--SECONDARY-color
were added to provide easier modification of your custom style. Shortcodes with a color style can now haveprimary
orsecondary
as additional values.These two colors are the default for other, more specific color variables. You don't need to change anything in your existing custom color stylesheets as those variables get reasonable default values.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Translation for Polish. This language is not supported for search.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The documentation for all shortcodes were revised.
3.4.0 (2022-04-03)
-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} If you had previously overwritten the
custom-footer.html
partial to add visual elements below the content of your page, you have to move this content to the new partialcontent-footer.html
.custom-footer.html
was never meant to contain HTML other than additional styles and JavaScript. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} If you prefer expandable/collapsible menu items, you can now set
collapsibleMenu=true
in yourconfig.toml
. This will add arrows to all menu items that contain sub menus. The menu will expand/collapse without navigation if you click on an arrow. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} You can activate [print support]({{%relref "basics/configuration#activate-print-support" %}}) in your

-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} In this release the Mermaid JavaScript library will only be loaded on demand if the page contains a Mermaid shortcode or is using Mermaid codefences. This changes the behavior of
disableMermaid
config option as follows: If a Mermaid shortcode or codefence is found, the option will be ignored and Mermaid will be loaded regardlessly.The option is still useful in case you are using scripting to set up your graph. In this case no shortcode or codefence is involved and the library is not loaded by default. In this case you can set
disableMermaid=false
in your frontmatter to force the library to be loaded. See the [theme variant generator]({{%relref "basics/generator" %}}) of the exampleSite for an example. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} Additional color variant variable

3.0.0 (2022-02-22)
-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} We made changes to the menu footer. If you have your
menu-footer.html
[partial overridden]({{%relref "basics/customization" %}}), you may have to review the styling (eg. margins/paddings) in your partial. For a reference take a look into themenu-footer.html
partial that is coming with the exampleSite.This change was made to allow your own menu footer to be placed right after the so called prefooter that comes with the theme (containing the language switch and Clear history functionality).
-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} We have changed the default colors from the original Learn theme (the purple menu header) to the Relearn defaults (the light green menu header) as used in the official documentation.
This change will only affect your installation if you've not set the
themeVariant
parameter in yourconfig.toml
. [If you still want to use the Learn color variant]({{%relref "basics/customization/#theme-variant" %}}), you have to explicitly setthemeVariant="learn"
in yourconfig.toml
.Note, that this will also affect your site if viewed with Internet Explorer 11 but in this case it can not be reconfigured as Internet Explorer does not support CSS variables.
-
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} Due to a bug, that we couldn't fix in a general manner for color variants, we decided to remove
--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-ICONS-color
and introduced--MENU-SEARCH-color
instead. You don't need to change anything in your custom color stylesheet as the old name will be used as a fallback. -
{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} For consistency reasons, we renamed
--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-color
to--MENU-SEARCH-BORDER-color
. You don't need to change anything in your custom color stylesheet as the old name will be used as a fallback. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} With this release you are now capable to define your own dark mode variants.
To make this possible, we have introduced a lot more color variables you can use in [your color variants]({{%relref "basics/customization/#theme-variant" %}}). Your old variants will still work and don't need to be changed as appropriate fallback values are used by the theme. Nevertheless, the new colors allow for much more customization.
To see what's now possible, see the new variants
relearn-dark

that are coming with this release. -
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} To make the creation of new variants easier for you, we've added a new interactive [theme variant generator]({{%relref "basics/generator" %}}). This feature will not work with Internet Explorer 11.
-
{{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} You can now configure multiple color variants in your
config.toml
. In this case, the first variant is the default chosen on first view and a variant switch will be shown in the menu footer. See the [documentation]({{%relref "basics/customization/#multiple-variants" %}}) for configuration.Note, that the new variant switch will not work with Internet Explorer 11 as it does not support CSS variables. Therefore, the variant switcher will not be displayed with Internet Explorer 11.
2.9.0 (2021-11-19)
-
{{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Breaking{{% /badge %}} This release removes the themes implementation of
ref
/relref
in favor for Hugos standard implementation. This is because of inconsistencies with the themes implementation. In advantage, your project becomes standard compliant and exchanging this theme in your project to some other theme will be effortless.In a standard compliant form you must not link to the
*.md
file but to its logical name. You'll see, referencing other pages becomes much easier. All three types result in the same reference:Type Non-Standard Standard Branch bundle basics/configuration/_index.md
basics/configuration
Leaf bundle basics/configuration/index.md
basics/configuration
Page basics/configuration.md
basics/configuration
If you've linked from a page of one language to a page of another language, conversion is a bit more difficult but Hugo got you covered as well.
Also, the old themes implementation allowed refs to non-existing content. This will cause Hugos implementation to show the error below and abort the generation. If your project relies on this old behavior, you can reconfigure the error handling of Hugos implementation.
In the best case your usage of the old implementation is already standard compliant and you don't need to change anything. You'll notice this very easily once you've started
hugo server
after an upgrade and no errors are written to the console.You may see errors on the console after the update in the form:
ERROR 2021/11/19 22:29:10 [en] REF_NOT_FOUND: Ref "basics/configuration/_index.md": "hugo-theme-relearn\exampleSite\content\_index.en.md:19:22": page not found
In this case, you must apply one of two options:
-
Start up a text editor with regular expression support for search and replace. Apply the following conversions in the given order on all
*.md
files. This is the recommended choice.Type Search Replace by Branch bundle (ref\s+"[^"]*)/_index\.md"
$1"
Leaf bundle (ref\s+"[^"]*)/index\.md"
$1"
Page (ref\s+"[^"]*)\.md"
$1"
-
Copy the old implementation files
theme/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/shortcode/ref.html
andtheme/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/shortcode/relref.html
to your own projectslayouts/shortcode/ref.html
andlayouts/shortcode/relref.html
respectively. This is not recommended as your project will still rely on non-standard behavior afterwards.

{{% badge style="note" title=" " %}}Change{{% /badge %}} Although never officially documented, this release removes the font
