A page is displayed by exactly one page design and represented by Hugo's reserved type front matter.
The Relearn theme offers the page designs home, chapter, and default but you can define further custom page designs.
Regardless of shipped or custom page design, you are using them in the same way.
-
If you have an archetype file, you can just do
hugo new --kind chapter chapter1/_index.md -
If you are creating your Markdown files manually, you can achieve the same by just setting
type='chapter'in the front matter.
Your resulting Markdown file needs to have at least the type front matter set to the value of the page design

Predefined Designs
Home
A Home page is the starting page of your project. It's best to have only one page of this kind in your project.
To create a home page, run the following command
hugo new --kind home _index.md
Chapter
A Chapter displays a page meant to be used as introduction for a set of child pages.
Commonly, it contains a title front matter and a short description in the content.
To create a chapter page, run the following command
hugo new --kind chapter chapter1/_index.md
If a numerical weight front matter is set, it will be used to generate the subtitle of the chapter page. Set the number to a consecutive value starting at 1 for each new chapter on the same directory level.
Default
A Default page is any other content page.
To create a default page, run either one of the following commands
hugo new chapter1/page1/_index.md
or
hugo new chapter1/page1.md
