How do I update hugo servers index document from index.html to index.htm?
You cannot.
This would be a useful feature.
How would it be useful for you?
I have a website that’s been running for 27 years. I’d like to maintain the links.
I have 2,458 pages that don’t have a file extension or trailing slash. Ex: /Andrew
I have 67 pages that have an htm file extension. Ex: /states/illinois.htm
7 of those pages are index.htm.
I followed the custom output formats documentation to render htm files.
My issue now is the hugo server won’t render my index.htm when I try to access a directory.
To clarify, you’re looking for the Hugo equivalent of:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex
Meaning, you’d like to be able define one or more directory index files in order of precedence.
Yes. However, I’m thinking about setting up redirects for the 7 index.htm → index.html files and calling it a day.
Good move.
