Saw it this morning. Amazing. Getting better every day.

Loving it! :slight_smile:

One small thing that can make it better: when I click on the links in the TOC of an article, it doesn’t update the browser URL. That means I can’t quickly jump back and forth in the document with the browser’s previous and next feature.

@Jura - that’s a good point. The JS that implements smooth scrolling does removes it. I’ll have a look at it when I get a chance. Could you drop an issue here, please? https://github.com/gohugoio/gohugoioTheme

Maybe it is an easter egg, but what is the “Hugo Gopher”?

6

It’s the lesser known cousin of the Golang mascot. The “Hugo Gopher” actually powers our favorite SSG by spinning it’s hamster wheel :wink:

Some people rumor that he’s living with a software developer in Oslo, Norway right now.

The News page looks like this:

Should the “July Release”, “June Release”, etc titles be made more descriptive and non-repetitive? May be, something like Release v0.25.1 - Bugfix instead of July Release (July 10), and Release v0.25 - Kinder Surprise instead of the less exciting July Release (July 7) :slight_smile:

The new Docs Site looks really nice! Is it still possible to clone the the Docs repo from github and build the site localy for offline usage?
I just tried to, but when I render the site with hugo it throws a lot error messages. It also does not generate a index.html only a index.xml

The errors are referencing the partial svg/exclamation.svg like:

ERROR 2017/07/17 21:25:11 error processing shortcode "shortcodes/warning.html" for page "themes\\installing-and-using-themes.md": template: shortcodes/warning.html:3:4: executing "shortcodes/warning.html" at <partial "svg/exclama...>: error calling partial: Partial "svg/exclamation.svg" not found

Am I doing something wrong? I’m using hugo v0.25.1 to render the page without any command line arguments.

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.25.1 windows/amd64 BuildDate: 2017-07-12T21:59:22+02:00

You need to clone it to include the theme submodule. Try:

 git submodule update --init

That fixed it. I’m always failing if there are submodules in a git repository :cry:

Thank you so much for the fast reply!

Yea, we need to document this better as well. Also note that I have not yet gotten to merging the new docs into the main Hugo code repos – so from https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo you will still get the old docs.

Wow, gopher in Norwegian is spelled really weird. For the protocol I hope they were able to shorten it to just hffhfh://. :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the work on the new documentation.

Is there a way to get a printable version of the entire documentation (ie a single HTML page of all of the content)? I’ve seen it was mentioned in the past here but nothing else.

Also, is anyone working or planning to work on writing a book describing how to use Hugo in great details? I would happily buy one if one were available.

I don’t think such a book is gonna stay relevant anytime soon. We get new releases fairly frequently, so I imagine it is down the road(map) before someone gets that published.

Online guides ought to abound, though.
