Homepage example

As an example, let's say you didn't like the default homepage, and wanted to design one of your own. To do this, you would:

1. Copy file YOUR_SITE/themes/minimal-bootstrap-hugo-theme/layouts/index.html
2. Paste that file to YOUR_SITE/layouts/index.html
3. Edit index.html as desired

Configure cookie consent

You can change the position, layout, color palette, "Learn more" link, compliance type, and custom text of the cookie consent popup. To do this, you would:

1. Copy file YOUR_SITE/themes/minimal-bootstrap-hugo-theme/layouts/partials/cookie-consent.html
2. Paste that file to YOUR_SITE/layouts/partials/cookie-consent.html
3. Complete the cookie consent wizard
4. Paste the generated code from the wizard into cookie-consent.html

Syntax highlighting

Hugo has built-in syntax highlighting, provided by Chroma. It is currently enabled in the config.toml file from the exampleSite.

Checkout the Chroma style gallery and choose the style you like.

Shortcodes

blockquote

This will format your blockquotes nicely. To use it, put the quote within the shortcode. The author argument is optional.

{{< blockquote author="Laura Ingalls" >}}
I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, **simple** things of life which are the real ones after all.  
{{< /blockquote >}}

imgAbs

This will insert an image into your content by absolute path. To use it, pass the pathURL of your image.

These arguments are optional: alt, class, style.

{{< imgAbs 
pathURL="img/some-img.png" 
alt="Some description" 
class="some-class" 
style="some-style" >}}

imgRel

This will insert an image into your content by relative path. To use it, pass the pathURL of your image.

These arguments are optional: alt, class, style.

{{< imgRel 
pathURL="img/some-img.png" 
alt="Some description" 
class="some-class" 
style="some-style" >}}

imgProc

This will process an image from a page bundle, then provide a link to the original image. To use it, pass the image name, command, and command options.

The command argument will be one of: Resize, Fit, Fill. For a deeper dive see the hugo docs for image processing.

These arguments are optional: alt, class, style.

The below example resizes an image to 800px width, while keeping the aspect ratio.

{{< imgProc 
img="some-img.png" 
command="Resize" 
options="800x" 
alt="Some description" 
class="some-class" 
style="some-style" >}}

mastodon

This will embed a toot in an iframe.

These arguments are optional: width, height.

{{% mastodon
status="https://mastodon.social/@kevingimbel/100700713283716694"
width="1000" height="500" %}}
