Content Sections Sections Hugo generates a **section tree** that matches your content. 2017-02-01 2017-02-01 2017-02-01

Nested Sections

The sections can be nested as deeply as you need.

blog
├── funny-cats
│   └── kittens
│       └── _index.md
└── tech
    └── _index.md

The important part to understand is, that to make the section tree fully navigational, at least the lower-most section needs a content file. (e.g. _index.md).

{{% note %}} When we talk about a section in correlation with template selection, it is currently always the root section only (/blog/funny/mypost/ => blog).

It is currently not possible to add a specific layout for one of the sub-sections. {{% /note %}}

Example: Breadcrumb Navigation

With the available section variables and methods you can build powerful navigation. One common example would be a partial to show Breadcrumb navigation:

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

    {{ template "breadcrumbnav" (dict "p1" . "p2" .) }}
{{ define "breadcrumbnav" }} {{ if .p1.Parent }} {{ template "breadcrumbnav" (dict "p1" .p1.Parent "p2" .p2 ) }} {{ else if not .p1.IsHome }} {{ template "breadcrumbnav" (dict "p1" .p1.Site.Home "p2" .p2 ) }} {{ end }} {{ .p1.Title }} {{ end }} {{< /code >}}

Section Page Variables and Methods

Also see Page Variables.

{{< readfile file="/content/readfiles/sectionvars.md" markdown="true" >}}

Content Section Lists

Hugo will automatically create pages for each section root that list all of the content in that section. See the documentation on section templates for details on customizing the way these pages are rendered.

Content Section vs Content Type

By default, everything created within a section will use the content type that matches the root section name. For example, Hugo will assume that posts/post-1.md has a posts content type. If you are using an archetype for your posts section, Hugo will generate front matter according to what it finds in archetypes/posts.md.
