## Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules
Hugo takes the parameters listed below into consideration when choosing a layout for a given page. They are listed in a priority order. This should feel natural, but look at the table below for concrete examples of the different parameter variations.
Kind
: The page `Kind` (the home page is one). See the example tables below per kind. This also determines if it is a **single page** (i.e. a regular content page. We then look for a template in `_default/single.html` for HTML) or a **list page** (section listings, home page, taxonomy lists, taxonomy terms. We then look for a template in `_default/list.html` for HTML).
Output Format
: See [Custom Output Formats](/templates/output-formats). An output format has both a `name` (e.g. `rss`, `amp`, `html`) and a `suffix` (e.g. `xml`, `html`). We prefer matches with both (e.g. `index.amp.html`, but look for less specific templates.
Language
: We will consider a language code in the template name. If the site language is `fr`, `index.fr.amp.html` will win over `index.amp.html`, but we will `index.amp.html` will be chosen before `index.fr.html`.
Layout
: Can be set in page front matter.
Type
: Is value of `type` if set in front matter, else it is the name of the root section (e.g. "blog"). If will always have a value, so if not set, the value is "page".
Section
: Is relevant for `section`, `taxonomy` and `taxonomyTerm` types.

**Tip:** The examples below looks long and complex. That is the flexibility talking. Most Hugo sites contain just a handful of templates:
```bash
├── _default
│   ├── baseof.html
│   ├── list.html
│   └── single.html
└── index.html
```

## Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules With Theme
In Hugo, layouts can live in either the project's or theme's layout folder, and the most specific layout will be chosen. Hugo will interleave the lookups:
1. layouts/page/index.html
2. demoTheme/layouts/page/index.html
3. layouts/...
This way it is possible to override specific templates from the theme.
## Examples: Layout Lookup for Regular Pages
{{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == page" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
## Examples: Layout Lookup for Home Page
{{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == home" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
## Examples: Layout Lookup for Section Pages
{{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == section" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
## Examples: Layout Lookup for Taxonomy List Pages
{{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == taxonomy" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
## Examples: Layout Lookup for Taxonomy Terms Pages
{{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == taxonomyTerm" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
