Phil Pennock 438c219892 Add canonifyurls config option.
Be able to inhibit AbsURL canonicalization of content, on a site
configuration basis. Advantages of being able to inhibit this include
making it easier to rendering on other hostnames, and being able to
include resources on http or https depending on how this page was
retrieved, avoiding mixed-mode client complaints without adding latency
for plain http.

Configuration 40

The directory structure and templates provide the majority of the configuration for a site. In fact a config file isn't even needed for many websites since the defaults used follow commonly used patterns.

Hugo expects to find the config file in the root of the source directory and will look there first for a config.yaml file. If none is present it will then look for a config.json file, followed by a config.toml file.

Please note the field names must be all lowercase

Examples

The following is an example of a yaml config file with the default values: {{% highlight yaml %}}

contentdir: "content" layoutdir: "layouts" publishdir: "public" builddrafts: false indexes: category: "categories" tag: "tags" baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/" canonifyurls: true ... {{% /highlight %}}

The following is an example of a json config file with the default values:

{{% highlight json %}} { "contentdir": "content", "layoutdir": "layouts", "publishdir": "public", "builddrafts": false, "indexes": { "category": "categories", "tag": "tags" }, "baseurl": "http://yoursite.example.com/" "canonifyurls": true } {{% /highlight %}}

The following is an example of a toml config file with the default values:

contentdir = "content"
layoutdir = "layouts"
publishdir = "public"
builddrafts = false
baseurl = "http://yoursite.example.com/"
canonifyurls = true
[indexes]
   category = "categories"
   tag = "tags"

Here is a yaml configuration file which sets a few more options

{{% highlight yaml %}}

baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/" title: "Yoyodyne Widget Blogging" permalinks: post: /:year/:month/:title/ params: Subtitle: "Spinning the cogs in the widgets" AuthorName: "John Doe" GitHubUser: "spf13" ListOfFoo: - "foo1" - "foo2" SidebarRecentLimit: 5 ... {{% /highlight %}}
