Hugo uses the excellent golang html/template library for its template engine.
It is an extremely lightweight engine that provides a very small amount of
logic. In our experience that it is just the right amount of logic to be able
to create a good static website
If you are new to go's templates the [go template primer](/layout/go-templates)
is a great place to start.
## Template roles
There are 6 different kinds of templates that Hugo works with.
### [Homepage](/layout/homepage/)
The homepage of your site.
### [RSS](/layout/rss/)
Used to render all rss documents.
### [Index](/layout/index)
Page that list multiple pieces of content.
### [Content](/layout/content)
Templates to render a single piece of content.
### [Views](/layout/views)
Different ways of rendering each content type
### [Chrome](/layout/chrome)
Simply the decoration of your site.
