+### getenv

+Returns the value of an environment variable.

+

+Takes a string containing the name of the variable as input. Returns

+an empty string if the variable is not set, otherwise returns the

+value of the variable. Note that in Unix-like environments, the

+variable must also be exported in order to be seen by `hugo`.

+

+e.g.

+

+    {{ getenv "HOME" }}

+

 ### in

 Checks if an element is in an array (or slice) and returns a boolean.  The elements supported are strings, integers and floats (only float64 will match as expected).  In addition, it can also check if a substring exists in a string.
