Not rendering Markdown

support
1

After following the tutorial here the resulting webpage markdown is not being rendered. The text is simply showing up in a line.

Literally, following the tutorial line by line and creating the following post named my-first-post.md:

---
title: "My First Post"
date: 2019-11-26T01:34:47-06:00
draft: true
---

# One fish

## Two fish

- red fish
- blue fish

renders the following text in a strict line with no formatting:

One fish Two fish red fish blue fish

Can you please put up the website somewhere for us to check? It would be of interest what exactly the HTML output of the rendered code is, not what you see.

Same here. I followed the quick start tutorial. I applied the Fresh theme. I added a post with markdown and named first.md. Did you figure out the problem?

Here is first.md:

---
title: "First"
date: 2020-01-19T12:49:31-05:00

@davidsneighbour, https://github.com/frizbane/static-hugo-fresh-default/blob/master/content/posts/my-first-post.md shows the issue. I used the hugo-fresh theme (StefMa/hugo-fresh), and followed instructions in its README.

Here’s what I’ve done to get here:

  • Repo created in GitHub and cloned to local.
  • hugo new site static-hugo-fresh-default --force
  • cd static-hugo-fresh-default
  • git clone https://github.com/StefMa/hugo-fresh themes/hugo-fresh
  • rm config.toml
  • copied hugo-fresh/master/exampleSite/config.yaml
  • hugo new posts/my-first-post.md
    And added the MD content you see.

Strangely, links in the markdown seems to render fine.

Had a look at the HTML as you suggested and have a feeling it’s CSS-related. This theme uses Bulma. I’m no CSS expert, so will do a bit more digging.
Thanks in advance

The issue with hugo-fresh got fixed now. https://github.com/StefMa/hugo-fresh/issues/106

The issue was related to how hugo-fresh uses BULMA. See https://github.com/jgthms/bulma/issues/1603
