They are stored in a reserved Front Matter object named `_build` with the following defaults:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
_build:
|
|
render: always
|
|
list: always
|
|
publishResources: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### render
|
|
If `always`, the page will be treated as a published page, holding its dedicated output files (`index.html`, etc...) and permalink.
|
|
|
|
{{< new-in "0.76.0" >}} We extended this property from a boolean to an enum in Hugo 0.76.0. Valid values are:
|
|
|
|
never
|
|
: The page will not be included in any page collection.
|
|
|
|
always (default)
|
|
: The page will be rendered to disk and get a `RelPermalink` etc.
|
|
|
|
link
|
|
: The page will be not be rendered to disk, but will get a `RelPermalink`.
|
|
|
|
#### list
|
|
|
|
Note that we extended this property from a boolean to an enum in Hugo 0.68.0.
|
|
|
|
Valid values are:
|
|
|
|
never
|
|
: The page will not be included in any page collection.
|
|
|
|
always (default)
|
|
: The page will be included in all page collections, e.g. `site.RegularPages`, `$page.Pages`.
|
|
|
|
local
|
|
: The page will be included in any _local_ page collection, e.g. `$page.RegularPages`, `$page.Pages`. One use case for this would be to create fully navigable, but headless content sections. {{< new-in "0.68.0" >}}
|
|
|
|
If true, the page will be treated as part of the project's collections and, when appropriate, returned by Hugo's listing methods (`.Pages`, `.RegularPages` etc...).
|
|
|
|
#### publishResources
|
|
|
|
If set to true the [Bundle's Resources]({{< relref "content-management/page-bundles" >}}) will be published.
|
|
Setting this to false will still publish Resources on demand (when a resource's `.Permalink` or `.RelPermalink` is invoked from the templates) but will skip the others.
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
Any page, regardless of their build options, will always be available using the [`.GetPage`]({{< relref "functions/GetPage" >}}) methods.

### Illustrative use cases
|
|
|
|
#### Not publishing a page
|
|
Project needs a "Who We Are" content file for Front Matter and body to be used by the homepage but nowhere else.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# content/who-we-are.md`
|
|
title: Who we are
|
|
_build:
|
|
list: false
|
|
render: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{/* layouts/index.html */}}
|
|
<section id="who-we-are">
|
|
{{ with site.GetPage "who-we-are" }}
|
|
{{ .Content }}
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
</section>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Listing pages without publishing them
|
|
|
|
Website needs to showcase a few of the hundred "testimonials" available as content files without publishing any of them.
|
|
|
|
To avoid setting the build options on every testimonials, one can use [`cascade`]({{< relref "/content-management/front-matter#front-matter-cascade" >}}) on the testimonial section's content file.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
#content/testimonials/_index.md
|
|
title: Testimonials
|
|
# section build options:
|
|
_build:
|
|
render: true
|
|
# children build options with cascade
|
|
cascade:
|
|
_build:
|
|
render: false
|
|
list: true # default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{/* layouts/_defaults/testimonials.html */}}
|
|
<section id="testimonials">
|
|
{{ range first 5 .Pages }}
|
|
<blockquote cite="{{ .Params.cite }}">
|
|
{{ .Content }}
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
</section>
