Restricted word lookup

[jnthnclrk]

Hi,

Would it be possible to use a list of keywords that site writers are restricted from using? So, for example, if the build process sees any instances of these bad keywords in a list it automatically fails the build.

No Hugo does not support what you ask.

But you could create a dictionary. See:

collections.Dictionary

And then replace those keywords to something else. See the following related topic to get an idea on how to go about it:

Hugo Tip for Greek language users: Uppercase without accents

This can be done outside of Hugo. If you use a CI provider such as CircleCI, Travis CI, or GitLab CI, you can write a script to check for those words in your Markdown and fail if it finds them.
