Site Variables Site Variables Many, but not all, site-wide variables are defined in your site's configuration. However, Hugo provides a number of built-in variables for convenient access to global values in your templates. 2017-02-01 2017-02-01 2017-02-01

The .Site.Params Variable

.Site.Params is a container holding the values from the params section of your site configuration.

Example: .Site.Params

The following config.toml defines a site-wide param for description:

baseURL = "http://yoursite.example.com/"

[params]
  description = "Tesla's Awesome Hugo Site"
  author = "Nikola Tesla"

You can use .Site.Params in a partial template to call the default site description:

{{< code file="layouts/partials/head.html" >}}

{{< /code >}}
