Github issues that I have submitted and topics posed here have been closed immediately because they are deemed not a hugo issue. How is this determination made? Where can I find a raw hugo that does not depend on a theme, and that can be used to test primitive functions like the figure shortcode? It…

With v0.118.0 and later the hugo new theme command creates a minimal, functional theme with sample content. To quickly create a test site: hugo new site mysite cd mysite/ hugo new theme mytheme echo "theme = 'mytheme'" >> hugo.toml hugo server If you would prefer to create a test site without a th…

Not “canonical” by any means, but… [image] Really getting started with Hugo: four simple steps |... Here is just the actual procedure from yesterday’s post about making things easier for new Hugo users.

Thanks for the pointer. It appears that a good solution to my original question would be to modify the ‘hugo new theme’ command to include a --canonical option (or a --test option) that generates a minimal theme that can be used for testing hugo with no entanglement with third-party themes. It sh…

Simply do not use a theme at all and write a basic template for a single page. And perhaps: follow the advice people give you. What’s the point asking here if you’re not interested in the answers?

I should have mentioned that I did use Bryce Wray’s excellent introduction, sorry. It helped me to drill down on issues that I have reported here and on github, regarding custom CSS and formatting. For example, I can refer to static/css/mystyle.css by adding to Bryce’s baseof.html head section: <li…

[image] djsamperi: But this style information only apples to content files, not shortcodes, This sentence makes no sense. Styles are applied to the generated HTML. All of it. Unless you do something to prevent that. Several people have told you to look at the HTML in your browser’s developer…

Let me try to summarize the CSS issues that I have observed, starting from Bryce’s introductory example. Modify his baseof.html as explained above to refer to the stylesheet static/css/mystyle.css. This style sheet formats classes .center and h1, where the first centers the element, and the second c…

This might help clear things up. Give it a try. git clone --single-branch -b hugo-forum-topic-45971 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-forum-topic-45971 cd hugo-forum-topic-45971 hugo server

Thanks! So the lesson seems to be to use assets/css/main.css as you do with .RelPermalink instead of hard-coding a reference to css/mystyle.css from static, because the latter is not resolved properly. The shortcode myshortcode works as expected with this configuration.

[image] djsamperi: So the lesson seems to be Just… no. This URL is relative to the current page (incorrect): css/mystyle.css This URL is relative to the server root (correct): /css/mystyle.css

No. That’s not the lesson. assets is for files that are handled by “Hugo Pipes” : they are in some way transformed, like converting Sass to CSS. static is for files that you can use as is. Like fonts, some images, some styles. In any case, your URL must refer correctly to them, as @jmooring pointed …
