You are talking about this? I’ve found this before. I’ve added hidden = true to all references, but they are still in the sitemap.xml. The documentation didn’t tell me anything about this parameter.
Let me formulate my question again, maybe we understand us wrong.
I’ve a list of references. I use them as a part of the home page and I make them visible there. I just use the content, but Hugo doesn’t need to output anything from this files to rendered pages, to the sitemap or to anything else.
Currently we have a whitelist of file we need and the rest is deleted from the output of Hugo. We realized, that we also need to post-process the sitemap.xml. The only thing which kind of worked so far, is to have empty templates for this sections.
Maybe we are using Hugo in a wrong way?
