JSON-LD is a useful way to add semantic mark up your output with schema.org objects. From their site: JSON-LD is a lightweight Linked Data format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is based on the already successful JSON format and provides a way to help JSON data interoperate at Web-sca…

With the v0.14-DEV version, you can use a new function absURL. "image" : {{ apply .Params.images "absURL" "." }} This serves to add the baseurl to the path of the image in the array, if the image is just a relative path.

FWIW, I found it a real pain to get all the tags configured in JSON form, nested the way the Google Structured Data tester wanted them, and properly escaped, so I just used the more classic HTML tag format. You can see the working Schema here on GitHub , and live on https://Lustforge.com Some notes…

Thanks for sharing. Have you found a good way to scrape your own pages to dynamically generate the JSON-LD at the top-level of a page? Also, I found .PublishDate on its own is unreliable. Here’s how I’m outputting my publish dates. Hope it helps! {{ dateFormat "2006-01-02T15:04:05-07:00" (default .…

Is there a way to display them properly with Json. Here is our source : https://github.com/jeremielondon/nuts-hugo Many…

@jeremielondon I got your DM but let’s discuss in public so others may benefit. In my opinion a major point to using json-ld is to let Google show the structured markup on the site in search results (e.g. rich cards), so, I would want to know what Google specifies for the markup of such repeated ev…

I’ve started to make a solution that is easier to just drop in and work. It’s work in progress at the moment, and any help would be appreciated: https://github.com/martijn00/HugoStructuredData It feels a bit weird that there is no way in Hugo to make this a drop in plugin coming from a .NET backgro…

I’ve started working on the schema.org data for my theme. It is a lot more complex that I’d even realised at first. And some things don’t fit well into json-ld so I also need to look at microdata. What a pain.
