.File.LogicalName

the name of the content file that represents a page (e.g., foo.en.md)

.File.TranslationBaseName

the filename without extension or optional language identifier (e.g., foo)

.File.ContentBaseName

is a either TranslationBaseName or name of containing folder if file is a leaf bundle.

.File.BaseFileName

the filename without extension (e.g., foo.en)

.File.Ext

the file extension of the content file (e.g., md); this can also be called using .File.Extension as well. Note that it is only the extension without ..

.File.Lang

the language associated with the given file if Hugo's Multilingual features are enabled (e.g., en)

.File.Dir

given the path content/posts/dir1/dir2/, the relative directory path of the content file will be returned (e.g., posts/dir1/dir2/). Note that the path separator (\ or /) could be dependent on the operating system.

.File.UniqueID
