Hugo uses the excellent go 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.
Go templates are lightweight but extensible. Hugo has added the following
functions to the basic template logic.
Go documentation for the built-in functions can be found [here](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/)
## General
### isset
Return true if the parameter is set.
Takes either a slice, array or channel and an index or a map and a key as input.
eg. {{ if isset .Params "project_url" }} {{ index .Params "project_url" }}{{ end }}
### echoParam
If parameter is set, then echo it.
eg. {{echoParam .Params "project_url" }}
### first
Slices an array to only the first X elements.
eg.
{{ range first 10 .Data.Pages }}
{{ .Render "summary"}}
{{ end }}
## Math
### add
Adds two integers.
eg {{add 1 2}} -> 3
### sub
Subtracts two integers.
eg {{sub 3 2}} -> 1
### div

### mul

### modBool
Boolean of modulus of two integers.
true if modulus is 0.

## Strings
### urlize
Takes a string and sanitizes it for usage in urls, converts spaces to "-".
eg. <a href="/tags/{{ . | urlize }}">{{ . }}</a>
### safeHtml
