Intro

We'll be using yml/yaml format for all examples down below, I recommend using yml over toml as it is easier to read.

Override theme template

By Hugo's Lookup Order, you can override any part of a theme that you want. The following is a quick example.

Let's say you wish the list was different. All you have to do is copy the list template:

your-site/themes/papermod/layouts/_defaults/list.html

And paste it under your own layouts folder:

your-site/layouts/_defaults/list.html

Then you're free to make any changes you want to the list. When Hugo builds your site, your copy of list.html will be used instead of the theme's list.html.
