Just a general comment:
- I have seen many (and built some) Hugo sites; and I have always thought of the
layout
front matter as something you would use for the the rare cases where you wanted something very different. - One of the most frequent questions about this before v0.146 was about how to style nested sections/pages differently than the rest.
- So, in v0.146 you can nest your templates reflecting your content structure, which is very powerful.
- That way you can have
mylayout
(as set in front matter) look differently depending on the content path.
