-Hugo has a very small amount of configuration, while remaining highly customizable.

-An example directory may look like:

-    ├── config.json
-    ├── content
-    |   ├── post
-    |   |   ├── firstpost.md
-    |   |   └── secondpost.md
-    |   └── quote
-    |   |   ├── first.md

-
-This directory structure tells us a lot about this site:
-
-1. the website intends to have two different types of content, posts and quotes.
-2. It will also apply two different indexes to that content, categories and tags.
-3. It will be displaying content in 3 different views, a list, a summary and a full page view.
-
-Included with the repository is an example site ready to be rendered.
-
-## Configuration
-
-The directory structure and templates provide the majority of the
-configuration for a site. In fact a config file isn't even needed for many websites
-since the defaults used follow commonly used patterns.
-
-**Please note the field names must be all lowercase**
-
-### Config Examples
-
-The following is an example of a yaml config file with the default values:
-
-    ---
-    sourcedir: "content"
-    layoutdir: "layouts"
-    publishdir: "public"
-    builddrafts: false
-    indexes:
-       category: "categories"
-       tag: "tags"
-    baseurl: "http://yoursite.com/"
-    ...
-
-
-The following is an example of a json config file with the default values:
-
-    {
-        "sourcedir": "content",
-        "layoutdir": "layouts",
-        "publishdir": "public",
-        "builddrafts": false,
-        "indexes": {
-           category: "categories",
-           tag: "tags"
-        },
-        "baseurl": "http://yoursite.com/"
-    }
-
-
-The following is an example of a toml config file with the default values:
-
-    sourcedir = "content"
-    layoutdir = "layouts"
-    publishdir = "public"
-    builddrafts = false
-    baseurl = "http://yoursite.com/"
-    [indexes]
-       category = "categories"
-       tag = "tags"
-
-
-## Usage
-Make sure either hugo is in your path or provide a path to it.
-
-    $ hugo --help
-    usage: hugo [flags] []
-      -b, --base-url="": hostname (and path) to the root eg. http://spf13.com/
-      -D, --build-drafts=false: include content marked as draft
-          --config="": config file (default is path/config.yaml|json|toml)
-      -d, --destination="": filesystem path to write files to
-      -h, --help=false: show this help
-          --port="1313": port to run web server on, default :1313
-      -S, --server=false: run a (very) simple web server
-      -s, --source="": filesystem path to read files relative from
-          --uglyurls=false: use /filename.html instead of /filename/
-      -v, --verbose=false: verbose output
-          --version=false: which version of hugo
-      -w, --watch=false: watch filesystem for changes and recreate as needed
-
-The most common use is probably to run hugo with your current
-directory being the input directory.
-
-
-    $ hugo
-    > X pages created
-    > Y indexes created
-
-
-If you are working on things and want to see the changes
-immediately, tell Hugo to watch for changes. **It will
-recreate the site faster than you can tab over to
-your browser to view the changes.**
-
-    $ hugo --source ~/mysite --watch
-       Watching for changes. Press ctrl+c to stop
-       15 pages created
-       0 tags created
-       in 8 ms
-
-Hugo can even run a server and create your site at the same time!
-
-    $hugo --server -ws ~/mysite
-       Watching for changes. Press ctrl+c to stop
-       15 pages created
-       0 tags created
-       in 8 ms
-       Web Server is available at http://localhost:1313
-       Press ctrl+c to stop
-
-# Layout
-
-Hugo is very flexible about how you organize and structure your content.
-
-## Templates
-
-Hugo uses the excellent golang html/template library for it's template engine. It is an extremely
-lightweight engine that provides a very small amount of logic. In our
-experience that it is just the right amount of logic to be able to create a good static website
-
-This document will not cover how to use golang templates, but the [golang docs](http://golang.org/pkg/html/template/)
-provide a good introduction.
-
-### Template roles
-
-There are 5 different kinds of templates that Hugo works with.
-
-#### index.html
-This file must exist in the layouts directory. It is the template used to render the
-homepage of your site.
-
-#### rss.xml
-This file must exist in the layouts directory. It will be used to render all rss documents.
-The one provided in the example application will generate an ATOM format.
-
-*Important: Hugo will automatically add the following header line to this file.*
-
-    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
-
-#### Indexes
-An index is a page that list multiple pieces of content. If you think of a typical blog, the tag
-pages are good examples of indexes.
-
-
-#### Content Type(s)
-Hugo supports multiple types of content. Another way of looking at this is that Hugo has the ability
-to render content in a variety of ways as determined by the type.
-
-#### Chrome
-Chrome is simply the decoration of your site. It's not a requirement to have this, but in practice
-it's very convenient. Hugo doesn't know anything about Chrome, it's simply a convention that you may
-likely find beneficial. As you create the rest of your templates you will include templates from the
-/layout/chrome directory. I've found it helpful to include a header and footer template
-in Chrome so I can include those in the other full page layouts (index.html, indexes/ type/single.html).
-
-### Adding a new content type
-
-Adding a type is easy.
-
-**Step 1:**
-Create a directory with the name of the type in layouts.Type is always singular.  *Eg /layouts/post*.
-
-**Step 2:**
-Create a file called single.html inside your directory. *Eg /layouts/post/single.html*.
-
-**Step 3:**
-Create a file with the same name as your directory in /layouts/indexes/. *Eg /layouts/index/post.html*.
-
-**Step 4:**
-Many sites support rendering content in a few different ways, for instance a single page view and a
-summary view to be used when displaying a list of contents on a single page. Hugo makes no assumptions
-here about how you want to display your content, and will support as many different views of a content
-type as your site requires. All that is required for these additional views is that a template
-exists in each layout/type directory with the same name.
-
-For these, reviewing the example site will be very helpful in order to understand how these types work.
-
-## Variables
-
-Hugo makes a set of values available to the templates. Go templates are context based. The following
-are available in the context for the templates.
-
-**.Title**  The title for the content. <br>
-**.Description** The description for the content.<br>
-**.Keywords** The meta keywords for this content.<br>
-**.Date** The date the content is published on.<br>
-**.Indexes** These will use the field name of the plural form of the index (see tags and categories above)<br>
-**.Permalink** The Permanent link for this page.<br>
-**.FuzzyWordCount** The approximate number of words in the content.<br>
-**.RSSLink** Link to the indexes' rss link <br>
-
-Any value defined in the front matter, including indexes will be made available under `.Params`.
-Take for example I'm using tags and categories as my indexes. The following would be how I would access them:
-
-**.Params.Tags** <br>
-**.Params.Categories** <br>
-
-Also available is `.Site` which has the following:
-
-**.Site.BaseUrl** The base URL for the site as defined in the config.json file.<br>
-**.Site.Indexes** The names of the indexes of the site.<br>
-**.Site.LastChange** The date of the last change of the most recent content.<br>
-**.Site.Recent** Array of all content ordered by Date, newest first<br>
-
-# Content
-Hugo uses markdown files with headers commonly called the front matter. Hugo respects the organization
-that you provide for your content to minimize any extra configuration, though this can be overridden
-by additional configuration in the front matter.
-
-## Organization
-In Hugo the content should be arranged in the same way they are intended for the rendered website.
-Without any additional configuration the following will just work.
-
-    .
-    └── content
-        ├── post
-        |   ├── firstpost.md   // <- http://site.com/post/firstpost.html
-        |   └── secondpost.md  // <- http://site.com/post/secondpost.html
-        └── quote
-            ├── first.md       // <- http://site.com/quote/first.html
-            └── second.md      // <- http://site.com/quote/second.html
-
-
-## Front Matter
-
-The front matter is one of the features that gives Hugo it's strength. It enables
-you to include the meta data of the content right with it. Hugo supports a few
-different formats each with their own identifying tokens.
-
-Supported formats: <br>
-  **YAML**, identified by '\-\-\-'. <br>
-  **TOML**, indentified with '+++'.<br>
-  **JSON**, a single JSON object which is surrounded by '{' and '}' each on their own line.
-

-    # Nitro
-
-    Quick and easy performance analyzer library for golang.
-
-    ## Overview
-
-    Nitro is a quick and easy performance analyzer library for golang.
-    It is useful for comparing A/B against different drafts of functions
-    or different functions.
-
-    ## Implementing Nitro
-
-    Using Nitro is simple. First use go get to install the latest version
-    of the library.
-
-        $ go get github.com/spf13/nitro
-
-    Next include nitro in your application.
-
-
-# Extras
-
-## Shortcodes
-Because Hugo uses markdown for it's content format, it was clear that there's a lot of things that
-markdown doesn't support well. This is good, the simple nature of markdown is exactly why we chose it.
-
-However we cannot accept being constrained by our simple format. Also unacceptable is writing raw
-html in our markdown every time we want to include unsupported content such as a video. To do
-so is in complete opposition to the intent of using a bare bones format for our content and
-utilizing templates to apply styling for display.
-
-To avoid both of these limitations Hugo has full support for shortcodes.
-
-### What is a shortcode?
-A shortcode is a simple snippet inside a markdown file that Hugo will render using a template.
-
-Short codes are designated by the opening and closing characters of '{{%' and '%}}' respectively.
-Short codes are space delimited. The first word is always the name of the shortcode.  Following the
-name are the parameters. The author of the shortcode can choose if the short code
-will use positional parameters or named parameters (but not both). A good rule of thumb is that if a
-short code has a single required value in the case of the youtube example below then positional
-works very well. For more complex layouts with optional parameters named parameters work best.
-
-The format for named parameters models that of html with the format name="value"
-
-### Example: youtube
-
-    {{% youtube 09jf3ow9jfw %}}
-
-This would be rendered as
-
-    <div class="embed video-player">
-    <iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html"
-        width="640" height="385"
-        src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/09jf3ow9jfw"
-        allowfullscreen frameborder="0">
-    </iframe>
-    </div>
-
-### Example: image with caption
-
-    {{% img src="/media/spf13.jpg" title="Steve Francia" %}}
-
-Would be rendered as:
-
-    <figure >
-        <img src="/media/spf13.jpg"  />
-        <figcaption>
-            <h4>Steve Francia</h4>
-        </figcaption>
-    </figure>
-
-
-### Creating a shortcode
-
-All that you need to do to create a shortcode is place a template in the layouts/shortcodes directory.
-
-The template name will be the name of the shortcode.
-
-**Inside the template**
-
-To access a parameter by either position or name the index method can be used.
-
-    {{ index .Params 0 }}
-    or
-    {{ index .Params "class" }}
-
-To check if a parameter has been provided use the isset method provided by Hugo.
-
-    {{ if isset .Params "class"}} class="{{ index .Params "class"}}" {{ end }}
