On sites with multiple languages we need to use the absolute URL in
the test to determine if the current page should be marked "active"
in the menu bar. Perhaps a bug with Hugo that relative links end up
like "/bg/bg/about" instead of "/bg/about".
Don't try to get image information when the image isn't local. We
generally expect that images are in the local filesystem's static
directory, but if the user has specified a remote image—ie, with
an http:// or https:// prefix—then we shouldn't try imageConfig.
This reverts commit bf9bca9656.
If the user specifies a non-local image then the build generates
an error. See #56. We need to have a way to only get imageInfo for
local images...
Hugo 0.18 introduced the imageConfig function which allows you to
access the height and width of images, which makes bots consuming
the structured data happy.
I'm not sure if it really matters to bots who will parse this (it's
much more important on content pages of course), but using .Date on
nodes like the homepage and taxonomy terms pages will set the date
to be that of the latest post in that range—to me this does indeed
seem to be "time when the object was last updated"[0].

Allowing users to select specific icons they want to show makes the
configuration and logic a bit tricky. A user brought up the case of
disabling sharing icons on certain pages/posts, and it was actaully
not possible without adding lots of extra logic, not to mention the
pain of having to test all possible configurations.
Instead, it is much simpler to just allow sharing icons to be either
on or off as desired in the site config or page/post frontmatter:
sharingicons = false
Otherwise, sharing icons default to being enabled, as this is most
in line with what would be expected on a "blog".
This replaces the metadata that Hugo's own schema.html template had
been providing, but does so in JSON-LD notation rather than via the
use of <meta> tags (this is Google's currently recommended form of
specifying this markup). There are a few exceptions where I did not
follow the conventions used in Hugo's template, for example the use
of up to six images from a post's frontmatter, because Google's tool
only recognizes one image, as well as different logic for a post's
publish and modified dates (using enableGitInfo = true).
Using this new markup, Google's Structured Data Testing Tool is now
able to understand site metadata much better (before it was reading
none).
The implementation here is a mix of the elements and types from the
official Schema.org types—for example, Blog and BlogPosting—as well
as from Google's search documentation. Note that Google's docs are
geared towards AMP, where some metadata is required, while for non-
AMP pages the metadata is just recommended.
We will have to re-evaluate this in the future, for example to add
height and width information to image metadata.

Bring the Disqus comments inside the <article> tag. The article has
a sizeable bottom margin seprating it from the blog footer, and if
Disqus comments are active they appear after this margin, and this
looks ugly.
Semantically, I think the comments should actually be inside the
article tag anyways (since they are directly related), as well as
further wrapped in article tags, but we don't control the code that
Disqus injects so we'll have to make do with this.

Prepending the site's URL to relative links was a hack but at the
time I couldn't understand why href="#" didn't take us to the top
of the page. It turns out that this was because of the <base> tag
that I have now removed.
It was screwing up relative links like the ones in footnotes. I'm
not sure why I added it in the first place, actually, as the docs
specifically say "specifies the base URL to use for all relative
URLs contained within a document".

* Add Vim modeline comments to all relevent template files.
* Add Vim modeline comments to a few other files.
* Move modeline comments inside the template definitions in list and single.
For some odd reason, putting them outside breaks the page generation.
* Use template comments for modeline comments in templates.
* Fix form 2 modelines.
Set the cookie_consent_info_url parameter in your site's config to
display a message about cookie usage to your users. See the config
in `exampleSite/config.toml` for more info.
We are explicitly using the site's RSS feed, but after reading the
Hugo RSS docs I think it's better if we use the contextual version
of the RSSlink. This will make the RSS plumbing show a feed for the
current category, tag, section, etc. The example code also adds a
bit of markup to help browsers find the content more easily.

Sites only need to add their Google Analytics tracking ID to their
config:
googleAnalytics = "UA-123-45"
This uses the async version of the Google Analytics code.
In a multilingual context a post's title could be "Title" in English
but «Title» in Bulgarian, and if we apply the Markdown filter to the
title tag, then the language's Black Friday configuration is used,
in this example it would be for the angled quotes.
We already do this everywhere else we can in the post's content, so
let's match it in the page title.
Hugo's own pagination stuff works just as well and probably covers
even more corner cases. Also, this is one less config variable to
have to check because you can just use Paginate (Default: 10).
