Pages from data in Hugo

The latest release from Hugo (the static site generator) brings a long-awaited Hugo feature that has had many names. This feature allows you to create pages from data.

You can read all about it in the documentation where it’s titled Content Adapters.

Also worth mentioning in this release are the new Extras Goldmark Extensions, which allows you to enable Markdown syntax for inserted text, mark text, subscript and superscript. You can now write stuff like ‘H₂O and 1^st’ without using HTML tags.

The markdown:

H~2~O and 1^st^

The required config:

markup:
  goldmark:
    extensions:
      extras:
        insert:
          enable: true
        mark:
          enable: true
        subscript:
          enable: true
        superscript:
          enable: true

My upgrade commands:

wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.126.0/hugo_extended_0.126.0_linux-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i hugo_extended_0.126.0_linux-amd64.deb

Check out this new v0.126.0 release! Don’t forget to download the extended version for webp support.
