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 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.toml` file. If none is present, it will
|
|
then look for a `config.yaml` file, followed by a `config.json` file.
|
|
|
|
The config file is a site-wide config. The config file provides directions to
|
|
hugo on how to build the site as well as site-wide parameters and menus.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of a typical yaml config file:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
baseurl: "http://yoursite.example.com/"
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of a toml config file with some of the default values. Values under `[params]` will populate the `.Site.Params` variable for use in templates:
|
|
|
|
contentdir = "content"
|
|
layoutdir = "layouts"
|
|
publishdir = "public"
|
|
builddrafts = false
|
|
baseurl = "http://yoursite.example.com/"
|
|
canonifyurls = true
|
|
|
|
[indexes]
|
|
category = "categories"
|
|
tag = "tags"
|
|
|
|
[params]
|
|
description = "Tesla's Awesome Hugo Site"
|
|
author = "Nikola Tesla"
|
|
|
|
Here is a yaml configuration file which sets a few more options
|
|
|

## Configure Blackfriday rendering
|
|
|
|
[Blackfriday](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) is the [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) rendering engine used in Hugo. The Blackfriday configuration in Hugo is mostly a set of sane defaults that should fit most use cases.
|
|
|
|
But Hugo does expose some options---as listed in the table below, matched with the corresponding flag in the [Blackfriday source](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/blob/master/html.go):
|
|
|
|
<table class="table table-bordered">
|
|
<thead>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>Flag</th><th>Default</th><th>Blackfriday flag</th>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</thead>
|
|
|
|
<tbody>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><code>angledQuotes</code></td>
|
|
<td><code>false</code></td>
|
|
<td><code>HTML_SMARTYPANTS_ANGLED_QUOTES</code></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="purpose-title">Purpose:</td>
|
|
<td class="purpose-description" colspan="2">Enable smart angled double quotes <small>(e.g. <code>"Hugo"</code> renders to «Hugo» instead of “Hugo”)</small></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><code>plainIdAnchors</code></td>
|
|
<td><code>false</code></td>
|
|
<td><code>FootnoteAnchorPrefix</code> and <code>HeaderIDSuffix</code></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="purpose-title">Purpose:</td>
|
|
<td class="purpose-description" colspan="2">If <code>true</code>, then header and footnote IDs are generated without the document ID <small>(e.g. <code>#my-header</code> instead of <code>#my-header:bec3ed8ba720b9073ab75abcf3ba5d97</code>)</small></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</tbody>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note** that these flags must be grouped under the `blackfriday` key and can be set on **both site and page level**. If set on page, it will override the site setting. Example:
|
|
|
|
<table class="table">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>TOML</th><th>YAML</th>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><pre><code>[blackfriday]
|
|
angledQuotes = true
|
|
plainIdAnchors = true
|
|
</code></pre></td>
|
|
<td><pre><code>blackfriday:
|
|
angledQuotes: true
|
|
plainIdAnchors: true
|
|
</code></pre></td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
