How to suppress section page for a specific content type?

support
1

I have a site with content/page/ containing regular pages as individual .md files, and content/post/ containing blog posts. I want Hugo to generate a list page for the posts (/post) but not for pages (/page.

  • I can disable section pages completely with disableKinds: ["section"] in the config, but then I don’t get /post generated.

  • I tried creating content/page/index.md and adding headless: true in it, but then none of the pages get generated. Indeed the very existence of content/page/index.md suppresses generation of any other pages in that bundle (which I think is what the documentation says it should do.)

  • Creating content/page/_index.md does nothing, even with headless: true in it.

  • I thought I could customise the layout and content of /page using a template in layouts/page/list.html but a) I don’t want a customised output for that, I want it to not exist, and b) if I do create that file it gets used for the home page instead of layouts/index.html. What gives there?

Any suggestions on what else to try?

Thanks, that seems to be the answer.
