Ahoi!

I’m looking for a way to render multiple sections.  
If I run **hugo new post/some\_post.md** it will be rendered, but when I add **hugo new some\_section/some\_post.md** it won’t.

I’m sure there must be a simple way to add new sections, but I’m realy stuck here (kind of embarassing - but tried everything that came to my mind and loooked and googled for it all day…).

Hey @aik, do you have a layout file for some\_section?

Hey @farazfazli - ty for fast reply =)

No – but I neigther have for “post”.  
Is it a matter of just having some file in /layouts/some\_section.html?  
Is there a simple example how such file has to be populated?

I was on that page very often - still don’t get it ☹  
It seems as if you could just create [xyz.md](http://xyz.md) and subfolders of content are treated as sections automaticly (using /layouts/\_default/list.html [??])?  
I copyed that file to /layouts/section/aud.html - no difference…

And: How’s content in /content/post/ rendered then? There’s no special file for it in /layouts… or anywere else as far as I can tell.
