Trouble creating a new "section" about hugo-theme-jane

[xianmin]

The {{define "content"}} {{end}} is important. You could check layouts/_default/baseof.html :

hugo-theme-jane/layouts/_default/baseof.html

Line 26 in 18eee9b

{{ block "content" . }}{{ end }}

Your {{define "content"}} {{end}} code block in your /layouts/micro/list.html will substitute {{ block "content" . }}{{ end }} in baseof.html.

So, example, create a file /layouts/micro/list.html in your site. (/layouts/_default/list.html is not need).

Code structure like this:

<!-- /layout/micro/list.html -->
{{ define "content" }}
  <section id="posts" class="posts">
    <!-- Ranges through content/micro/*.md -->
    {{ range .Data.Pages }}
      <article class="post bg-white">
        <div class="post-content">
          {{ .Content }}
        </div>
      </article>
    {{ end }}
  </section>
{{ end }}

You could try. If this is possible, in your site, the link localhost:1313/micro/ should work.

By the way, if you need Paginate, you could check layouts/index.html

Thanks for this. Using /layouts/micro/list.html renders a blank page. Nothing inside {{ define "content" }} is output.

I appreciate your help. I should probably stop bothering you with hugo-specific questions like thisk as I doubt this is a problem specific to your theme.

Try /layouts/micro/section.html ?

Nothing I tried in /layouts made any difference. Still blank pages. I found this thread which suggested that html comments outside of the block could cause rendering to fail. Sure enough, I removed the comments from your example and "micro" posts are now rendering via /layouts/micro/section.html

So this works...

{{ define "content" }}
  <section id="posts" class="posts">
    {{ range .Data.Pages }}
      <article class="post bg-white">
        <div class="post-content">
          {{ .Content }}
        </div>
      </article>
    {{ end }}
  </section>
{{ end }}

But this doesn't...

<!-- comment -->
{{ define "content" }}
  <section id="posts" class="posts">
    {{ range .Data.Pages }}
      <article class="post bg-white">
        <div class="post-content">
          {{ .Content }}
        </div>
      </article>
    {{ end }}
  </section>
{{ end }}

Very strange, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Hugo v0.40.3

Thanks so much for the help.

This is a good news. 😄
