This was a side-effect of the big new [Custom Output Format](https://gohugo.io/extras/output-formats/) feature in `0.20`, and while the change was intentional and there was an ongoing discussion about fixing it in [#3273](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3273), it did break some themes. There were valid workarounds for these themes, but we might as well get it right. The most obvious use case for this is inline `CSS` styles, which you now can do without having to name your partials with a `html` suffix. A simple example: In `layouts/partials/mystyles.css`: body { background-color: {{ .Param "colors.main" }} } Then in `config.toml` (note that by using the `.Param` lookup func, we can override the color in a page’s front matter if we want): {{< code-toggle file="config" >}} [params] [params.colors] main = "green" text = "blue" {{< /code-toggle >}} And then in `layouts/partials/head.html` (or the partial used to include the head section into your layout): Of course, `0.20` also made it super-easy to create external `CSS` stylesheets based on your site and page configuration. A simple example: Add “CSS” to your home page’s `outputs` list, create the template `/layouts/index.css` using Go template syntax for the dynamic parts, and then include it into your `HTML` template with: {{ with .OutputFormats.Get "css" }} {{ end }}`
