The First Post
Table of Contents
This is my first post on the new hugo site. It includes helpful information for me to remember formatting and other configurations for this site.
Page: TOC
Table of content
This theme supports displaying table of content (ToC) in blog posts.
Parameters
You can manage a ToC with two parameters:
- global
toc
parameter; - post
toc
parameter.
The post toc
parameter has higher priority than the global toc
parameter.
Enable table of content on all posts
To enable ToC on all posts (globally) set parameter toc
to true
in hugo.toml
.
[params]
toc = true
To disable ToC globally, simply ignore the toc
parameter or set it to false
.
Enable table of content on certain posts
To enable ToC on certain posts set parameter toc
to true
in post settings.
```yaml
---
title: How to enable table of content
date: 2023-05-02
toc: true
---
```
Disable table of content on certain posts
To disable ToC on certain posts, you have to follow two steps.
Notice: .Params.toc
in the post will override .Site.Params.toc
. After these steps, parameter toc
in the post will be false
.
-
Set parameter
toc
totrue
inhugo.toml
.[params] toc = true
-
Add
toc = false
to the front matter of the post for which you wish to disable ToC.--- title: How to enable table of content date: 2023-05-02 toc: false ---
Open table of content
By default, ToC is closed. To open it by default, set parameter tocOpen
to true
in hugo.toml
.
[params]
tocOpen = true
Or simply add the tocOpen
parameter to the front matter of the post.

Hugo ships with several Built-in Shortcodes for rich content, along with a Privacy Config and a set of Simple Shortcodes that enable static and no-JS versions of various social media embeds.

Page: Math Typesetting
Mathematical notation in a Hugo project can be enabled by using third party JavaScript libraries.
In this example we will be using KaTeX.
-
To enable KaTeX globally, set the parameter
math
totrue
in a project’s configuration file as follows.hugo.toml
[params] math = true
hugo.yaml
params: math: true
-
To enable KaTeX on a per page basis, include the parameter
math: true
in Front Matter of Markdown content file as follows.--- math: true ---
Note: The online reference of Supported TeX Functions is a helpful resource.
Examples
-
Block math:
$$ \varphi = 1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\frac{1} {1+\cdots} } } $$
-
Inline math:
This is an inline polynomial: $5x^2 + 2y -7$.
Page: Markdown Syntax
This article offers a sample of basic Markdown syntax that can be used in Hugo content files, also it shows whether basic HTML elements are decorated with CSS in a Hugo theme.
Headings
The following HTML <h1>
—<h6>
elements represent six levels of section headings. <h1>
is the highest section level while <h6>
is the lowest.

Image
You can use the following syntax to include an image. Path of the image should be relative to the index.md
file.

You can also include image from external sources.

Blockquotes
The blockquote element represents content that is quoted from another source, optionally with a citation which must be within a footer
or cite
element, and optionally with in-line changes such as annotations and abbreviations.
Blockquote without attribution
You can use Markdown syntax within a blockquote, like bold, italics, links,
code
.

Page: Emoji Support
Emoji can be enabled in a Hugo project in a number of ways.
The emojify
function can be called directly in templates or Inline Shortcodes.
To enable emoji globally, set enableEmoji
to true
in your site’s hugo.toml
. You can type emoji shorthand codes directly in content files; e.g.
🙈
🙈 🙉
🙉 🙊
🙊
I ❤️ Hugo! 😁
The Emoji cheat sheet is a useful reference for emoji shorthand codes.
N.B. The above steps enable Unicode Standard emoji characters and sequences in Hugo, however the rendering of these glyphs depends on the browser and the platform. To style the emoji you can either use a third party emoji font or a font stack; e.g.
.emoji {
font-family: Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, NotoColorEmoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Android Emoji, EmojiSymbols;
}
