In practice, it's very convenient to split out common template portions into a
|
||
partial template that can be included anywhere. As you create the rest of your
|
||
templates, you will include templates from the /layout/partials directory, or from arbitrary subdirectories like /layout/partials/post/tag.
|
||
|
||
Partials are especially important for themes as it gives users an opportunity
|
||
to overwrite just a small part of your theme, while maintaining future compatibility.
|
||
|
||
Theme developers may want to include a few partials with empty HTML
|
||
files in the theme just so end users have an easy place to inject their
|
||
customized content.
|
||
|
||
I've found it helpful to include a header and footer template in
|
||
partials so I can include those in all the full page layouts. There is
|
||
nothing special about header.html and footer.html other than they seem
|
||
like good names to use for inclusion in your other templates.
|
||
|
||
▾ layouts/
|
||
▾ partials/
|
||
header.html
|
||
footer.html
|
||
|
||
By ensuring that we only reference [variables](/layout/variables/)
|
||
used for both nodes and pages, we can use the same partials for both.
|
||
|
||
## Partial vs Template
|
||
|
||
Version v0.12 of Hugo introduced the `partial` call inside the template system.
|
||
This is a change to the way partials were handled previously inside the
|
||
template system. In earlier versions, Hugo didn’t treat partials specially, and
|
||
you could include a partial template with the `template` call in the standard
|
||
template language.
|
||
|
||
With the addition of the theme system in v0.11, it became apparent that a theme
|
||
& override aware partial was needed.
|
||
|
||
When using Hugo v0.12 and above, please use the `partial` call (and leave out
|
||
the “partial/” path). The old approach would still work, but wouldn’t benefit from
|
||
the ability to have users override the partial theme file with local layouts.
|
||

||

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
|

(function() {
|

var ga = document.createElement('script');
|
||
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' :
|
||
'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
|
||
ga.setAttribute('async', 'true');
|
||
document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(ga);
|

})();
|

</script>
|

</body>
|

</html>

To reference a partial template stored in a subfolder, e.g. `/layout/partials/post/tag/list.html`, call it this way:
|
||
|
||
{{ partial "post/tag/list" . }}
|
||
|
||
Note that the subdirectories you create under /layout/partials can be named whatever you like.
|
||
|
||
**For more examples of referencing these templates, see [single content
|
||
templates](/templates/content/), [list templates](/templates/list/) and [homepage templates](/templates/homepage/).**
