Hugo uses the excellent golang html/template library for its template engine.
|
2013-08-17 12:34:25 +00:00
|
|
|
It is an extremely lightweight engine that provides a very small amount of
|
|
|
|
logic. In our experience that it is just the right amount of logic to be able
|
|
|
|
to create a good static website
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are new to go's templates the [go template primer](/layout/go-templates)
|
|
|
|
is a great place to start.
|
|
|

|
|
