The above _newsletter type archetype_ illustrates the possibilities: The full Hugo `.Site` and all of Hugo's template funcs can be used in the archetype file.
## Directory based archetypes
Since Hugo `0.49` you can use complete directories as archetype templates. Given this archetype directory:
```bash
archetypes
├── default.md
└── post-bundle
├── bio.md
├── images
│ └── featured.jpg
└── index.md
```
```bash
hugo new --kind post-bundle post/my-post
```
Will create a new folder in `/content/post/my-post` with the same set of files as in the `post-bundle` archetypes folder. All content files (`index.md` etc.) can contain template logic, and will receive the correct `.Site` for the content's language.
