Taxonomy/terms (category/tag) templates based on section

[mhulse]

I’ve been searching the forums, looking for a clean way to have taxonomy/terms (category/tag) templates based on section.

I was thinking about how I could create:

/development/categories/front-end/

or

/development/tags/css/

I did not see a way to have taxonomy templates under a section in the lookup order docs.

As of Dec. 2022, is there a clean way to do this?

One idea that came to my mind is to create a theme, and then have two Hugo sites. This could be a nice way of separating content whilst keeping the look/feel the same. On the other hand, I don’t know if I’d want to juggle multiple sites.

Thanks!

This creates taxonomies that are unique to a particular content .Type (the top level section). The authors taxonomy is specific to books, and the actors taxonomy is specific to films.
