The following is a list of page-level variables. Many of these will be defined in the front matter, derived from file location, or extracted from the content itself.

{{% note ".Scratch" %}} See .Scratch for page-scoped, writable variables. {{% /note %}}

Page Variables

.AlternativeOutputFormats

.Content
the content itself, defined below the front matter.
.Data

.Description
the description for the page.
.Dir
the path of the folder containing this content file. The path is relative to the content folder.
.Draft
a boolean, true if the content is marked as a draft in the front matter.
.ExpiryDate
the date on which the content is scheduled to expire; .ExpiryDate pulls from the expirydate field in a content's front matter. See also .PublishDate, .Date, and .Lastmod.
.File
filesystem-related data for this content file. See also File Variables.
.FuzzyWordCount
the approximate number of words in the content.
.Hugo
see Hugo Variables.
.IsHome

.IsNode
always false for regular content pages.
.IsPage
always true for regular content pages.
.IsTranslated
true if there are translations to display.
.Keywords
the meta keywords for the content.
.Kind
the page's kind. Possible return values are page, home, section, taxonomy, or taxonomyTerm. Note that there are also RSS, sitemap, robotsTXT, and 404 kinds, but these are only available during the rendering of each of these respective page's kind and therefore not available in any of the Pages collections.
.Lang
language taken from the language extension notation.
.Language
a language object that points to the language's definition in the site config.
.Lastmod
the date the content was last modified. .Lastmod pulls from the lastmod field in a content's front matter.
  • If lastmod is not set, and .GitInfo feature is disabled, the front matter date field will be used.
  • If lastmod is not set, and .GitInfo feature is enabled, .GitInfo.AuthorDate will be used instead.

See also .ExpiryDate, .Date, .PublishDate, and .GitInfo.

.LinkTitle
access when creating links to the content. If set, Hugo will use the linktitle from the front matter before title.
.Next
pointer to the following content (based on the publishdate field in front matter).
.NextInSection
pointer to the following content within the same section (based on publishdate field in front matter).
.OutputFormats
contains all formats, including the current format, for a given page. Can be combined the with .Get function to grab a specific format. (See Output Formats.)
.Pages
a collection of associated pages. This value will be nil for regular content pages. .Pages is an alias for .Data.Pages.
.Permalink
the Permanent link for this page; see Permalinks
.Plain
the Page content stripped of HTML tags and presented as a string.
.PlainWords
the Page content stripped of HTML as a []string using Go's strings.Fields to split .Plain into a slice.

.PrevInSection
Pointer to the previous content within the same section (based on publishdate in front matter). For example, {{if .PrevInSection}}{{.PrevInSection.Permalink}}{{end}}.
.PublishDate
the date on which the content was or will be published; .Publishdate pulls from the publishdate field in a content's front matter. See also .ExpiryDate, .Date, and .Lastmod.
.RSSLink
link to the taxonomies' RSS link.
.RawContent
raw markdown content without the front matter. Useful with remarkjs.com
.ReadingTime
the estimated time, in minutes, it takes to read the content.
.Ref

.RelPermalink
the relative permanent link for this page.
.RelRef
returns the relative permalink for a given reference (e.g., RelRef "sample.md"). .RelRef does not handle in-page fragments correctly. See Cross References.

.WordCount
the number of words in the content.

Section Variables and Methods

Also see Sections.

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

Page-level Params

Any other value defined in the front matter in a content file, including taxonomies, will be made available as part of the .Params variable.

---
title: My First Post
date: 2017-02-20T15:26:23-06:00
categories: [one]
tags: [two,three,four]

With the above front matter, the tags and categories taxonomies are accessible via the following:

  • .Params.tags
  • .Params.categories

{{% note "Casing of Params" %}} Page-level .Params are only accessible in lowercase. {{% /note %}}

The .Params variable is particularly useful for the introduction of user-defined front matter fields in content files. For example, a Hugo website on book reviews could have the following front matter in /content/review/book01.md:

---
...
affiliatelink: "http://www.my-book-link.here"
recommendedby: "My Mother"
...
---

These fields would then be accessible to the /themes/yourtheme/layouts/review/single.html template through .Params.affiliatelink and .Params.recommendedby, respectively.

Two common situations where this type of front matter field could be introduced is as a value of a certain attribute like href="" or by itself to be displayed as text to the website's visitors.

{{< code file="/themes/yourtheme/layouts/review/single.html" >}}

Buy this book

It was recommended by {{ .Params.recommendedby }}.

{{< /code >}}

This template would render as follows, assuming you've set uglyURLs to false in your site config:

{{< output file="yourbaseurl/review/book01/index.html" >}}

Buy this book

It was recommended by my Mother.

{{< /output >}}

{{% note %}} See Archetypes for consistency of Params across pieces of content. {{% /note %}}

The .Param Method

In Hugo, you can declare params in individual pages and globally for your entire website. A common use case is to have a general value for the site param and a more specific value for some of the pages (i.e., a header image):

{{ $.Param "header_image" }}

The .Param method provides a way to resolve a single value according to it's definition in a page parameter (i.e. in the content's front matter) or a site parameter (i.e., in your config).

Access Nested Fields in Front Matter

When front matter contains nested fields like the following:

---
author:
  given_name: John
  family_name: Feminella
  display_name: John Feminella
---

.Param can access these fields by concatenating the field names together with a dot:

{{ $.Param "author.display_name" }}

If your front matter contains a top-level key that is ambiguous with a nested key, as in the following case:

---
favorites.flavor: vanilla
favorites:
  flavor: chocolate
---

The top-level key will be preferred. Therefore, the following method, when applied to the previous example, will print vanilla and not chocolate:

{{ $.Param "favorites.flavor" }}
=> vanilla
