Content first Hugo Theme

This Hugo theme focuses purely on content: Content is king. Layout and appearance are simply by design. The primary goal of the theme is to give the website visitor maximal user experience for reading and enjoying the published content elegantly. No Sidebars or any other annoying elements that interrupt the reading experience.

Hooks

You can inject custom HTML markup by creating hook partial files inside your projects layouts/partials/hooks directory.

For example to hook directly before the closing </body> tag you can create a body/end.html file in your layouts/partials/hooks directory. The full path in this case would be layouts/partials/hooks/body/end.html.

Available hooks:

  • head/start.html to inject HTML right after the opening <head> tag
  • head/end.html to inject HTML right before the closing </head> tag
  • body/start.html to inject HTML right after the opening <body> tag
  • body/end.html to inject HTML right before the closing </body> tag

Styles

You can add additional custom styles to the Hugo theme via the /assets/sass/_custom.sass file.

If there is no /assets/sass/_custom.sass file in your project you can simply create it.

Using SASS

Simply add your SASS rules into _custom.sass.

All your custom styles will be compiled from SASS to CSS and minified automatically via Hugo pipes.

Using SCSS or CSS

If you not so familiar with SASS you can also write SCSS or just plain CSS.

To do so you only have to import your .scss or .css file into _custom.sass by doing a SASS-import using the @import method.

@import <filename>
Example

Say you want to include some CSS styles, which you write into /assets/sass/my-custom-styles.css.

To add them to the theme you add the following into /assets/sass/_custom.sass:

@import my-custom-styles

Do not include the file extension like .scss or .css in the path of the @import rule.
