Hugo `0.20.2` adds support for plain text partials included into `HTML` templates. This was a side-effect of the big new [Custom Output Format](https://gohugo.io/extras/output-formats/) feature in `0.20`, and while the change was intentional and there was an ongoing discussion about fixing it in [#3273](//github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3273), it did break some themes. There were valid workarounds for these themes, but we might as well get it right.
The most obvious use case for this is inline `CSS` styles, which you now can do without having to name your partials with a `html` suffix.
A simple example:
In `layouts/partials/mystyles.css`:
body {
background-color: {{ .Param "colors.main" }}
}
Then in `config.toml` (note that by using the `.Param` lookup func, we can override the color in a pages front matter if we want):
[params]
[params.colors]
main = "green"
text = "blue"
And then in `layouts/partials/head.html` (or the partial used to include the head section into your layout):
<head>
<style type="text/css">
{{ partial "mystyles.css" . | safeCSS }}
</style>
</head>
Of course, `0.20` also made it super-easy to create external `CSS` stylesheets based on your site and page configuration. A simple example:
Add “CSS” to your home pages `outputs` list, create the template `/layouts/index.css` using Go template syntax for the dynamic parts, and then include it into your `HTML` template with:
{{ with .OutputFormats.Get "css" }}
<link rel="{{ .Rel }}" type="{{ .MediaType.Type }}" href="{{ .Permalink | safeURL }}">
{{ end }}`
