This page shows you how customize your templates to display custom taxonomies on your pages.

See the official documentation on how to configure custom taxnomies and how to use them in your page's front matter.

Standard Behavior

The Relearn theme displays Hugo's default taxonomies tag and category out of the box.

The tags are displayed at the top of the page in alphabetical order.

The categories are displayed at the bottom of the page in alphabetical order.

Each item is a link to a taxonomy page displaying all the articles with the given term.

Configuration

To add custom taxnomies, you have to configure them in your hugo.toml and also have to add the default taxonomies if you want to use them.

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

Customization

You can display the terms of your custom taxonomy somewhere in your page (often in the layouts/partials/content-footer.html) by calling a partial that does the job for you

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