Move SummaryLength into the ContentSpec struct and refactor the relevant summary functions to be methods of ContentSpec. The new summaryLength struct member is configurable by the summaryLength config value, and the default remains 70. Also updates hugolib/page to use the refactored methods. Resolves #3734

|
|
The [directory structure][] of a Hugo website—or more precisely, the source organization of files containing the website's content and templates—provides most of the configuration information that Hugo needs in order to generate a finished website.
|
|
|
|
Because of Hugo's sensible defaults, many websites may not need a configuration file. Hugo is designed to recognize certain typical usage patterns.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Lookup Order
|
|
|
|
Similar to the template [lookup order][], Hugo has a default set of rules for searching for a configuration file in the root of your website's source directory as a default behavior:
|
|
|
|
1. `./config.toml`
|
|
2. `./config.yaml`
|
|
3. `./config.json`
|
|
|
|
In your `config` file, you can direct Hugo as to how you want your website rendered, control your website's menus, and arbitrarily define site-wide parameters specific to your project.
|
|
|
|
## YAML Configuration
|
|
|
|
The following is a typical example of a YAML configuration file. Note the document opens with 3 hyphens and closes with 3 periods. The values nested under `params:` will populate the [`.Site.Params`][] variable for use in [templates][]:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="config.yml">}}
|

If you are developing your site on a \*nix machine, here is a handy shortcut for finding a configuration option from the command line:
|
|
```
|
|
~/sites/yourhugosite
|
|
hugo config | grep emoji
|
|
enableemoji: true
|
|
```
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
## Environmental Variables
|
|
|
|
In addition to the 3 config options already mentioned, configuration key-values can be defined through operating system environment variables.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following command will effectively set a website's title on Unix-like systems:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ env HUGO_TITLE="Some Title" hugo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% note "Setting Environment Variables" %}}
|
|
Names must be prefixed with `HUGO_` and the configuration key must be set in uppercase when setting operating system environment variables.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
## Ignore Files When Rendering
|
|
|
|
The following statement inside `./config.toml` will cause Hugo to ignore files ending with `.foo` and `.boo` when rendering:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ignoreFiles = [ "\\.foo$", "\\.boo$" ]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above is a list of regular expressions. Note that the backslash (`\`) character is escaped in this example to keep TOML happy.
|
|
|
|
## Configure Blackfriday
|
|
|
|
[Blackfriday](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) is Hugo's built-in Markdown rendering engine.
|
|
|
|
Hugo typically configures Blackfriday with sane default values that should fit most use cases reasonably well.
|
|
|
|
However, if you have specific needs with respect to Markdown, Hugo exposes some of its Blackfriday behavior options for you to alter. The following table lists these Hugo options, paired with the corresponding flags from Blackfriday's source code ( [html.go](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/blob/master/html.go) and [markdown.go](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/blob/master/markdown.go)).
|
|
|
|
{{< readfile file="/content/readfiles/bfconfig.md" markdown="true" >}}
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
1. Blackfriday flags are *case sensitive* as of Hugo v0.15.
|
|
2. Blackfriday flags must be grouped under the `blackfriday` key and can be set on both the site level *and* the page level. Any setting on a page will override its respective site setting.
|
|

## Configure Additional Output Formats
|
|
|
|
Hugo v0.20 introduced the ability to render your content to multiple output formats (e.g., to JSON, AMP html, or CSV). See [Output Formats][] for information on how to add these values to your Hugo project's configuration file.
|
|
