I’m trying to print the output of a variable inside this template : {{- $menu := .Site.Params.sectionPagesMenu | default "main" -}} I’m not sure what is the correct format to do that. Thank you for your suggestions.

{{ $siteMap := dict "BaseURL" .Site.BaseURL "BuildDrafts" .Site.BuildDrafts .etc. }}

I tried the approach you suggest, but it outputs nothing. Is there a way to enable debug mode into all templates to display all variables while running the hugo server? Or another way that I could accomplish my validation, how do I print all .Site variables through browser console? I added the foll…

[image] Floren: I’m wondering how developers debug the .Site variables. Debug what? These values are immutable.

@jmooring I’m simply trying to display on each page what are the .Site values present, as I have several modules with each having additional settings.
