In this theme is an layout. https://github.com/zerostaticthemes/hugo-hero-theme/blob/master/layouts/contact/contact.html
And it is going to be desplayed as seen on the example site: Contact - Hugo Hero Theme
Where can I read up about specific layouts like contact.html? All I find are list.html and single.html.
As I would suggest contact.html would render contact.md. But in the example is only an _index.md :confused:

Thx. There it is stated:

 contact.html  <-- renders contact.md

But why it is working without a contact.md?

I guess because the content of the md file (.Content) is just a small part of the template, it takes and displays a bunch of stuff from the config file.

/contact/_index.md only for .Title and .Content while contact.html needs data from /data/contact.yaml
copy this file and edit according to your needs.

Ok, There is a rule you can create a layout file fitting the directory name. If I create a layout matiching the directory name it is used and filled via _index.md. Change the template-file-name and it will be ignore. Didn’t find that rule in the docs, but I kinda suck on docs :confused:
thx@all

  • layouts/contact/contact.html → contact layout
  • data/contact.yaml → data for email, phone, address, etc
  • content/contact/_index.md → this for title and content.

that is what you need to change contact layout
