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.

• You can find any YML to TOML converters if necessary.

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.

Pin a Post

Post can be pinned/ displayed top on the list by adding a weight=<num> var to page-variables

example:

Adding Custom Favicon(s)

We support the following paths under /static directory and can be added accordingly.

• favicon.ico
• favicon-16x16.png
• favicon-32x32.png
• apple-touch-icon.png
• safari-pinned-tab.svg
• site.webmanifest

1. Favicon(s) can be generated by Favicon.io

   and can be simply put in /static folder.

2. Other way is to add favicon(s) NOT located in /static folder.

   In site config add the following:

   params:
   assets:
       favicon: "<link / absolute url>"
       favicon16x16:  "<link / absolute url>"
       favicon32x32:  "<link / absolute url>"
       apple_touch_icon:  "<link / absolute url>"
       safari_pinned_tab:  "<link / absolute url>"
   

   • absolute url means direct links to external resource: ex. https://web.site/someimage.png

   example:

   params:
   assets:
       favicon: "/favicon.ico"
       favicon16x16:  "/favicon-16x16.png"
       favicon32x32:  "/favicon-32x32.png"
       apple_touch_icon:  "/apple-touch-icon.png"
       safari_pinned_tab:  "/safari-pinned-tab.svg"
