**.Kind** What *kind* of page is this: is one of *page, home, section, taxonomy or taxonomyTerm.* There are also *RSS, sitemap, robotsTXT and 404*, but these will only available during rendering of that kind of page, and not available in any of the `Pages` collections.<br>
**.Lang** Language taken from the language extension notation.<br>
**.Permalink** The Permanent link for this page.<br>
**.Prev** Pointer to the previous content (based on pub date).<br>
**.PrevInSection** Pointer to the previous content within the same section (based on pub date). For example, `{{if .PrevInSection}}{{.PrevInSection.Permalink}}{{end}}`.<br>
**.PublishDate** The date the content is published on.<br>
**.RSSLink** Link to the taxonomies' RSS link.<br>
**.Ref** Returns the permalink for a given reference. Example: `.Ref "sample.md"`. See [cross-references]({{% ref "extras/crossreferences.md" %}}). Does not handle in-page fragments correctly.<br>
**.RelRef** Returns the relative permalink for a given reference. Example: `RelRef "sample.md"`. See [cross-references]({{% ref "extras/crossreferences.md" %}}). Does not handle in-page fragments.<br>
**.Summary** A generated summary of the content for easily showing a snippet in a summary view. Note that the breakpoint can be set manually by inserting <code><!--more--></code> at the appropriate place in the content page. See [Summaries](/content/summaries/) for more details.<br>
**.TableOfContents** The rendered table of contents for this content.<br>
**.Title** The title for this page.<br>
**.Translations** A list of translated versions of the current page. See [Multilingual]({{< relref "content/multilingual.md" >}}) for more info.<br>
**.Truncated** A boolean, `true` if the `.Summary` is truncated. Useful for showing a "Read more..." link only if necessary. See [Summaries](/content/summaries/) for more details.<br>
**.Type** The content [type](/content/types/) (e.g. post).<br>
**.URL** The relative URL for this page. Note that if `URL` is set directly in frontmatter, that URL is returned as-is.<br>
**.UniqueID** The MD5-checksum of the page's filename<br>
**.Weight** Assigned weight (in the front matter) to this content, used in sorting.<br>
**.WordCount** The number of words in the content.<br>
This is particularly useful for the introduction of user defined fields in content files. For example, a Hugo website on book reviews could have in the front matter of <code>/content/review/book01.md</code>
Which would then be accessible to a template at `/themes/yourtheme/layouts/review/single.html` through `.Params.affiliatelink` and `.Params.recommendedby`, respectively. Two common situations where these could be introduced are as a value of a certain attribute (like `href=""` below) or by itself to be displayed. Sample syntaxes include:
In Hugo you can declare params both for the site and the individual page. A common use case is to have a general value for the site and a more specific value for some of the pages (i.e. an image).
[Taxonomy Terms](/templates/terms/) pages are of the type `Page` and have the following additional variables. These are available in `layouts/_defaults/terms.html` for example.
The **.Site.Taxonomies** variable holds all taxonomies defines site-wide. It is a map of the taxonomy name to a list of its values. For example: "tags" -> ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]. Each value, though, is not a string but rather a [Taxonomy variable](#the-taxonomy-variable).
#### The Taxonomy variable
The Taxonomy variable, available as **.Site.Taxonomies.tags** for example, contains the list of tags (values) and, for each of those, their corresponding content pages.
**.Site.Taxonomies** The [taxonomies](/taxonomies/usage/) for the entire site. Replaces the now-obsolete `.Site.Indexes` since v0.11. Also see section [Taxonomies elsewhere](#taxonomies-elsewhere).<br>
**.Site.Pages** Array of all content ordered by Date, newest first. Replaces the now-deprecated `.Site.Recent` starting v0.13. This array contains only the pages in the current language.<br>
**.Site.AllPages** Array of all pages regardless of their translation.<br>
**.Site.Params** A container holding the values from the `params` section of your site configuration file. For example, a TOML config file might look like this:
**.Site.LanguageCode** A string representing the language as defined in the site configuration. This is mostly used to populate the RSS feeds with the right language code.<br>
**.Site.LastChange** A string representing the date/time of the most recent change to your site, based on the [`date` variable]({{< ref "content/front-matter.md#required-variables" >}}) in the front matter of your content pages.<br>
**.Site.IsMultiLingual** Whether there are more than one language in this site.<br> See [Multilingual]({{< relref "content/multilingual.md" >}}) for more info.<br>
**.Site.Language** This indicates which language you are currently rendering the website for. This is an object with the attributes set in your language definition in your site config.<br>
**.Site.Language.Lang** The language code of the current locale, e.g. `en`.<br>
**.Site.Language.Weight** The weight that defines the order in the `.Site.Languages` list.<br>
**.Site.Language.LanguageName** The full language name, e.g. `English`.<br>
**.Site.LanguagePrefix** This can be used to prefix theURLs with whats needed to point to the correct language. It will even work when only one language defined. See also the functions [absLangURL and relLangURL]({{< relref "templates/functions.md#abslangurl-rellangurl" >}}).<br>
**.Site.Languages** An ordered list (ordered by defined weight) of languages.<br>
**.Hugo.Generator** Meta tag for the version of Hugo that generated the site. Highly recommended to be included by default in all theme headers so we can start to track the usage and popularity of Hugo. Unlike other variables it outputs a **complete** HTML tag, e.g. `<meta name="generator" content="Hugo 0.15" />`<br>
