* 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.
See: https://gohugo.io/templates/rss/
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).
Add categories/tags to front matter and they will be displayed on
summary and post pages, with links to taxonomy pages. Example:
+++
date = "2016-09-24T21:28:31+03:00"
title = "Post title"
categories = ["Nature"]
tags = ["Wetland", "Oasis"]
+++
For some reason if you add tags singularly, like:
categories = "Nature"
you get index errors from Hugo. Not sure if I need to parse the
tags differently or just add more logic to test if the terms are
singular or not.
Check if the params.sidebar is defined before checking to see if
params.sidebar.hide is true or false. New sites might not have
their config set up properly, so this avoids an error in the case
that params.sidebar isn't defined yet.
By default they are on, but you can disable them by adding the
following configuration value:
[params.sharingicons]
hide = true
If this parameter is undefined (or "false") then the icons will be
shown. Furthermore, you can disable specific icons by setting their
value to "false", ie:
[params.sharingicons]
facebook = false
Any icons not named will be shown. Currently there a four icons
configureg: facebook, googleplus, linkedin, and twitter.
Uses basic data like title, description, author, and date that we
are using with existing vanilla meta tags, but extends them to OG
and Twitter Card tags. See [0] and [1].
For the Twitter summary cards specifically, you can optionally add
attribution for your username by adding something like this to your
configuration:
[params.social]
twitter_username = "@mralanorth"
... and for posts with images, you can specify an "image" in the
post's front matter like so:
image = "/2016/09/IMG_20160916_174409.jpg"
And then the theme will opt to use Twitter's "large" summary card.

Still need to figure out how to determine which page we're on so we
can set the "active" class accordingly (for Home we have the IsHome
variable the we can check).
Both work effectively the same for my use case, but the "type" is
more obvious when looking at the code. See the documentation for
Hugo's page variables for more info[0].

Use the post's author from frontmatter, or else use the author from
the site's config. You MUST have one of these set or else you will
get an error during site generation. I think it's better to force
the user to define an author tag rather than only printing it if
it is defined because it is a good practice to help bots understand
content.
Use the post's meta description if it exists, otherwise use the
one from the site's config. Set them using the "description" key
in frontmatter or site config.
Note: this means there is no way to NOT have a description. You
must have *at least* a site-wide description and *optionally* a
description for each page/post's front matter.
The W3C's HTML5 documentation says that header strength (h1–h6) is
only important per section, but their validator[0] recommends only
using one h1.
[0] https://validator.w3.org/
Headers are a semantic element that help computers understand the
content. In general, header tags should follow rank order, but the
most important is that the first header inside a section will serve
as the title in a table of contents, etc, but since article sections
stand alone as independent documents, I like the idea of explicitly
starting with H1 tags.
See: http://diveinto.html5doctor.com/semantics.html
The HTML5 <article> tag represents a complete, or self-contained,
composition in a document. Headers are a semantic HTML5 element
that helps computers understand the content.
Partials are nice, but blocks are a better base construct. Right
now there is basically only layouts/_default/baseof.html that is
doing most of the work.
