I am building an API around the hugo. In short I want to get Hugo to generate an HTML Response of a special “partials” only… ie: localhost:1313/api/hugogen/partial?file=header.html that would return me the hugo evaluated results as HTML… if if it has {{ .Site.Data.SiteTitle }} that would be repl…

Hello, Yes, we are currently building a small CMS to ease Hugo adoption for non technical people. It is a proof of concept, so far it will only allow to create “static html files”. We hope that we can get a first demo released next week and hope to get good community feedback. We already have ex…
