I have a simple reveal-hugo site which is mostly RevealJS presentations. It works well enough, though getting it going was a lot of trial and error. The site also has a second kind of page which is longer form text rather than presentation slides. Currently I cheat and just put bare html files in…

You don’t have any templates producing HTML output for your site. All the templates at https://github.com/dzello/reveal-hugo/tree/94ecfecd22338feb7e1a032367b858d241044574/layouts/_default are for the reveal type. If you put a template at layouts/_default/single.html, it will produce the output you …

Thank you. That didn’t quite work. I tried using the example one at https://gohugo.io/templates/single-page-templates/ , but the generated public/more-info/index.html is empty. Same with the example at https://gohugo.io/templates/base/ I pushed what I’m using to https://github.com/dankegel/hugo-d…

You should read all the docs about templates, if you want to understand. You don’t need anything in the template. So the simplest is whatever you put in.

Without a minimal example that works, it’s hard to interpret the doc. You wrote “If you want to see the template produce something, trying putting {{ .Content }}”. I did, but the output is still empty. You wrote “The example in that doc assumes one uses base templates, which are a good idea”, so …

One thing I noticed is, your more-info markdown file has no frontmatter. I think you may at least need the frontmatter delimiters? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dankegel/hugo-demo/master/content/more-info.md

[image] dankegel: I’ve been reading. It’s a tough slog, since the doc seems to assume quite a lot of knowlege beyond basic HTML, CSS, shell, and go templating, and much of it gives too much detail and yet not enough. Hugo has a learning curve. Additionally, you have a more advanced setup than…

Tried adding front matter in more-info.md, didn’t change anything. If somebody who actually understands how Hugo works could fix this minimal example, I’d be eternally grateful. Suggestions like “Use components!” are a bit too vague. The problem here is Hugo’s learning curve, and its fragility. …

Editing your layouts/_default/single.html to be: <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1> {{ .Content }} Will allow you to view that single page at http://localhost:1313/more-info/. But it will only be plain HTML. Now, notice the {{ define "main" }} related code is gone… including these lines allows you to use the …

Hi, A few notes and suggestions: If you want to understand how Hugo works, there is really no substitute to reading the Hugo docs top to bottom. Multiple times. hugo 0.47 in Ubuntu 18.10 You might want to consider updating your Hugo to the latest version. The docs will have instructions on …
