Example Single Page Templates

Content pages are of the type page and will therefore have all the page variables and site variables available to use in their templates.

posts/single.html

This single page template makes use of Hugo base templates, the .Format function for dates, the .WordCount page variable, and ranges through the single content's specific taxonomies. with is also used to check whether the taxonomies are set in the front matter.

{{< code file="layouts/posts/single.html" download="single.html" >}} {{ define "main" }}

{{ .Title }}

{{ .Content }}
{{ end }} {{< /code >}}

To easily generate new instances of a content type (e.g., new .md files in a section like project/) with preconfigured front matter, use content archetypes.
