Hugo uses the excellent Go html/template library for its template engine.
|
|||
|
It is an extremely lightweight engine that provides a very small amount of
|
|||
|
logic. In our experience it is just the right amount of logic to be able
|
|||
|
to create a good static website.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
While Hugo has a number of different template roles, most complete
|
|||
|
websites can be built using just a small number of template files.
|
|||
|
Please don’t be afraid of the variety of different template roles. They
|
|||
|
enable Hugo to build very complicated sites. Most sites will only
|
|||
|
need to create a [/layouts/\_default/single.html](/templates/content/) & [/layouts/\_default/list.html](/templates/list/)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you are new to Go's templates, the [Go Template Primer](/layout/go-templates/)
|
|||
|
is a great place to start.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you are familiar with Go’s templates, Hugo provides some [additional
|
|||
|
template functions](/templates/functions/) and [variables](/templates/variables/) you will want to be familiar
|
|||
|
with.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Primary Template roles
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
