The front matter is one of the features that gives Hugo it's strength. It enables
|
|
|
|
|
you to include the meta data of the content right with it. Hugo supports a few
|
|
|
|
|
different formats. The main format supported is JSON. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
"Title": "spf13-vim 3.0 release and new website",
|
|
|
|
|
"Description": "spf13-vim is a cross platform distribution of vim plugins and resources for Vim.",
|
|
|
|
|
"Tags": [ ".vimrc", "plugins", "spf13-vim", "vim" ],
|
|
|
|
|
"Pubdate": "2012-04-06",
|
|
|
|
|
"Categories": [ "Development", "VIM" ],
|
|
|
|
|
"Slug": "spf13-vim-3-0-release-and-new-website"
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
