## Nested Sections
|
|
|
|
The sections can be nested as deeply as you need.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
blog
|
|
├── funny-cats
|
|
│ └── kittens
|
|
│ └── _index.md
|
|
└── tech
|
|
└── _index.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
**The important part to understand is, that to make the section tree fully navigational, at least the lower-most section needs a content file. (e.g. `_index.md`).**
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
When we talk about a **section** in correlation with template selection, it is currently always the root section only (`/blog/funny/mypost/ => blog`).
|
|
|
|
It is currently not possible to add a specific layout for one of the sub-sections.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|

|
|
## Example: Breadcrumb Navigation
|
|
|
|
With the available [section variables and methods](#section-page-variables-and-methods) you can build powerful navigation. One common example would be a partial to show Breadcrumb navigation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="layouts/partials/breadcrumb.html" download="breadcrumb.html" >}}
|
|
<ol class="nav navbar-nav">
|
|
{{ template "breadcrumbnav" (dict "p1" . "p2" .) }}
|
|
</ol>
|
|
{{ define "breadcrumbnav" }}
|
|
{{ if .p1.Parent }}
|
|
{{ template "breadcrumbnav" (dict "p1" .p1.Parent "p2" .p2 ) }}
|
|
{{ else if not .p1.IsHome }}
|
|
{{ template "breadcrumbnav" (dict "p1" .p1.Site.Home "p2" .p2 ) }}
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
<li{{ if eq .p1 .p2 }} class="active"{{ end }}>
|
|
<a href="{{ .p1.Permalink }}">{{ .p1.Title }}</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
## Section Page Variables and Methods
|
|
|
|
Also see [Page Variables](/variables/page/).
|
|
|
|
{{< readfile file="/content/readfiles/sectionvars.md" markdown="true" >}}
|
|
|
|
## Content Section Lists
|
|
|
|
Hugo will automatically create pages for each section root that list all of the content in that section. See the documentation on [section templates][] for details on customizing the way these pages are rendered.
|
|
|
|
## Content *Section* vs Content *Type*
|
|
|
|
By default, everything created within a section will use the [content type][] that matches the root section name. For example, Hugo will assume that `posts/post-1.md` has a `posts` content type. If you are using an [archetype][] for your posts section, Hugo will generate front matter according to what it finds in `archetypes/posts.md`.
