## Configure Markup
{{< new-in "0.60.0" >}}
See [Goldmark](#goldmark) for settings related to the default Markdown handler in Hugo.
Below are all markup related configuration in Hugo with their default settings:
{{< code-toggle config="markup" />}}
**See each section below for details.**
### Goldmark
[Goldmark](https://github.com/yuin/goldmark/) is from Hugo 0.60 the default library used for Markdown. It's fast, it's [CommonMark](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/) compliant and it's very flexible. Note that the feature set of Goldmark vs Blackfriday isn't the same; you gain a lot but also lose some, but we will work to bridge any gap in the upcoming Hugo versions.
This is the default configuration:
{{< code-toggle config="markup.goldmark" />}}
Some settings explained:
unsafe
: By default, Goldmark does not render raw HTMLs and potentially dangerous links. If you have lots of inline HTML and/or JavaScript, you may need to turn this on.
typographer
: This extension substitutes punctuations with typographic entities like [smartypants](https://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/).
autoHeadingIDType ("github") {{< new-in "0.62.2" >}}
: The strategy used for creating auto IDs (anchor names). Available types are `github`, `github-ascii` and `blackfriday`. `github` produces GitHub-compatible IDs, `github-ascii` will drop any non-Ascii characters after accent normalization, and `blackfriday` will make the IDs work as with [Blackfriday](#blackfriday), the default Markdown engine before Hugo 0.60. Note that if Goldmark is your default Markdown engine, this is also the strategy used in the [anchorize](/functions/anchorize/) template func.
### Blackfriday
[Blackfriday](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) was Hugo's default Markdown rendering engine, now replaced with Goldmark. But you can still use it: Just set `defaultMarkdownHandler` to `blackfriday` in your top level `markup` config.
This is the default config:
{{< code-toggle config="markup.blackFriday" />}}
### Highlight
This is the default `highlight` configuration. Note that some of these settings can be set per code block, see [Syntax Highlighting](/content-management/syntax-highlighting/).
{{< code-toggle config="markup.highlight" />}}
For `style`, see these galleries:
* [Short snippets](https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/all.html)
* [Long snippets](https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/longer/all.html)
For CSS, see [Generate Syntax Highlighter CSS](/content-management/syntax-highlighting/#generate-syntax-highlighter-css).
### Table Of Contents
{{< code-toggle config="markup.tableOfContents" />}}
These settings only works for the Goldmark renderer:
startLevel
: The heading level, values starting at 1 (`h1`), to start render the table of contents.
endLevel
: The heading level, inclusive, to stop render the table of contents.
ordered
: Whether or not to generate an ordered list instead of an unordered list.
## Markdown Render Hooks
{{< new-in "0.62.0" >}}
Note that this is only supported with the [Goldmark](#goldmark) renderer.
These Render Hooks allow custom templates to render links and images from markdown.
You can do this by creating templates with base names `render-link` and/or `render-image` inside `layouts/_default/_markup`.
You can define [Output-Format-](/templates/output-formats) and [language-](/content-management/multilingual/)specific templates if needed.[^hooktemplate] Your `layouts` folder may look like this:
```bash
layouts
└── _default
└── _markup
├── render-image.html
├── render-image.rss.xml
└── render-link.html
```
Some use cases for the above:
* Resolve link references using `.GetPage`. This would make links portable as you could translate `./my-post.md` (and similar constructs that would work on GitHub) into `/blog/2019/01/01/my-post/` etc.
* Add `target=_blank` to external links.
* Resolve and [process](/content-management/image-processing/) images.
### Render Hook Templates
Both `render-link` and `render-image` templates will receive this context:
Page
: The [Page](/variables/page/) being rendered.
Destination
: The URL.
Title
: The title attribute.
Text
: The rendered (HTML) link text.
PlainText
: The plain variant of the above.
#### Link with title Markdown example :
```md
[Text](https://www.gohugo.io "Title")
```
Here is a code example for how the render-link.html template could look:
{{< code file="layouts/_default/_markup/render-link.html" >}}
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}"{{ with .Title}} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }}{{ if strings.HasPrefix .Destination "http" }} target="_blank"{{ end }}>{{ .Text | safeHTML }}</a>
{{< /code >}}
#### Image Markdown example:
```md
![Text](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/c38c7334cc3f23585738e40334284fddcaf03d5e/2e17c/images/hugo-logo-wide.svg "Title")
```
Here is a code example for how the render-image.html template could look:
{{< code file="layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html" >}}
<p class="md__image">
<img src="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}" alt="{{ .Text }}" {{ with .Title}} title="{{ . }}"{{ end }} />
</p>
{{< /code >}}
[^hooktemplate]: It's currently only possible to have one set of render hook templates, e.g. not per `Type` or `Section`. We may consider that in a future version.
