Cap'n Hugo uses a union file system, which lets ye combine multiple directories.
By default, it puts yer root directory on top o' th' Relearrrn theme directory. Files 'n yer root directory will replace theme files 'n th' same locat'n.
For example, if ye create a file at layouts/partials/head'n.html, it will override th' theme’s themes/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/partials/head'n.html.
See this list, t' learn which files be allowed t' be overridden by ye.
This makes it easy t' cust'mize th' theme without chang'n files 'n th' themes directory, mak'n future theme updates simpler.
Arrr
Don’t edit files inside th' themes/hugo-theme-relearn directory. That’s not th' recommended way t' cust'mize! Refer t' th' explanat'n above.
Don’t clone th' theme repository an' edit files there fer yer ship. That’s not th' recommended way t' cust'mize! Instead, follow th' Gett'n Started guide.

Duplicate yer rrrambl'n files into separate directories named by their language code:
Opt'n By default th' theme shows a language switcher 'n th' lower part o' th' menu.
If ye want t' have more control, whar' th' language switcher be positioned or ye want t' configure a different ay'con, see th' chapter on sidebar configurat'n.
T' dis'ble th' language switcher set disableLanguageSwitchingButton=true
Th' theme supports Hugo’s versions o' yer ship. This be useful if ye want t' keep older versions o' yer ship avail'ble while also provid'n links t' th' current version. All versions be generated together 'n one build o' yer project.
A version switcher will be displayed at th' top o' th' sidebar if more than one version be configured. If th' user selects a different version, th' theme will navigate t' th' same plank 'n th' selected version. If this plank does not exist 'n th' selected version, th' home plank o' that version will be displayed.
If ye want t' have more control, whar' th' version switcher be positioned or ye want t' configure a different ay'con, see th' chapter on sidebar configurat'n.
Example: Version'n an Exist'n Nonversioned Ship
Assume, ye have written a documentat'n fer an app. At some point ye be a releas'n a new major version. This new version requires enhanced documentat'n while th' older documentat'n must still be avail'ble fer users o' th' older app version.
Yer rrrambl'n resides 'n th' directory rrrambl'n o' yer project. Th' current URL o' yer ship (the value set 'n baseURL 'n yer hugo.toml) be https://example.com/. When done, th' URL o' th' latest version o' yer ship should not change. Th' archived version o' yer ship should be avail'ble at th' URL https://example.com/v1.0.0/.
T' setup version'n, ye have t' do th' follow'n steps:
Copy th' directory rrrambl'n t' a new directory content-v1.0.0 fer th' archived version
Prepare yer hugo.toml fer version'n.
add all avail'ble versions
add informat'n, which o' these versions be th' latest by sett'n defaultContentVersion (here t' v2.0.0)
mount each rrrambl'n directory t' th' version it belongs t'
Generate yer ship an' deploy th' result'n directory t' baseURL as before
Now you’re ready t' edit th' rrrambl'n o' yer current version an' proceed wit' yer usual workflow.
A few th'ns t' note here:
th' version switcher shows th' names o' yer versions as they be configured
th' default version be generated t' th' root o' yer ship, all other versions into a subdirectory named like th' version; set Hugo’s defaultContentVersionInSubdir=true if ye want th' default version 'n a subdirectory, too
once ye define a mount, Cap'n Hugo no longer applies its default mounts fer that component; if yer project has further mounts, keep them 'n th' list
only rrrambl'n, layouts an' static files can be mounted fer a version; everyth'n else, like yer configurat'n an' th' theme, be shared by all versions
th' source o' a mount be not limited t' yer project an' can also be a directory o' a different checkout o' yer version control system
fer a multilingual ship, no further configurat'n be necessary; each version be generated fer each language
Generate yer ship an' deploy th' result'n directory t' baseURL
Example: Stor'n Only What Has Changed
Copy'n th' whole rrrambl'n fer each archived version be th' easiest way t' start, but most planks usually don’t differ between two versions. Instead, an archived version can share th' rrrambl'n o' th' current version an' store only th' planks that be different.
T' stay wit' th' first example, th' directory content-v1.0.0 then only contains
th' planks that have changed since, 'n th' state they had 'n version 1
th' planks that were removed since
Th' configurat'n be th' same, wit' one further mount at th' end that adds th' shared rrrambl'n t' th' archived version. Th' added lines be highlighted:
if two mounts o' a version contain th' same file, th' mount listed first be used; this be why th' mount o' content-v1.0.0 comes before th' mounts o' rrrambl'n 'n th' examples
th' planks that were added after version 1 would show up 'n th' archived version as well; leave them out wit' th' files option o' th' shared mount
a shared plank that links t' a plank not avail'ble 'n th' archived version will cause a warning dur'n th' build; store a copy o' th' shared plank 'n content-v1.0.0 an' adjust its link
wit' each further archived version, an older version can be put together from its own directory, followed by th' directories o' th' newer archived versions, followed by rrrambl'n
Moved Planks
If a plank moved between two versions, th' version switcher can not find it by its path. Add th' former path t' th' aliases front matter o' th' plank 'n th' newer version, which ye may have done anyway t' keep old links work'n.
content/publishing/gdpr/_index.md
+++aliases='/sitemanagement/gdpr'+++
---aliases:/sitemanagement/gdpr---
{"aliases":"/sitemanagement/gdpr"}
Th' version switcher then navigates between both planks 'n either direct'n. If a plank moves again, add th' further path an' keep th' former ones.
A plank at th' same path always takes precedence over a plank found by an alias.
Link'n t' Other Versions
Yer rrrambl'n can link t' a plank o' another version by giv'n th' query parameter version, contain'n th' name o' th' version, e.g. [some archived page](my-page?version=v1.0.0).
Unlike th' version switcher, such a link does not follow aliases. Th' plank has t' exist 'n th' given version under th' path ye link t'.
Hid'n th' Version'n Arrr
Opt'n If visitors navigate t' an archived version o' yer ship, they will see a version'n warning at th' top o' each plank.
Ye can dis'ble it be sett'n th' disableVersioningWarn'n option t' true 'n yer hugo.toml.
hugo.
[params]disableVersioningWarn'n=true
params:disableVersioningWarn'n:true
{"params":{"disableVersioningWarning":true}}
Adjust'n th' Version'n Arrr
Method 1
Ye can adjust th' text o' th' version'n warning by overrid'n th' key Versioning-warning 'n yer i18n files.
Th' follow'n parameters be avail'ble t' be included 'n th' text:
pageVersion - th' displayed page’s version
pageUrl - th' URL o' th' displayed plank
latestVersion - th' default version
latestUrl - th' URL o' th' displayed plank 'n th' default version, or o' its home plank if th' plank does not exist there
A version has th' follow'n fields:
identifier - th' name o' th' version
title - th' text shown 'n th' version switcher
baseURL - th' URL o' th' home plank o' th' version
Method 2
Ye can override layouts/partials/versioning-warning.html. This be called once a version conflict was recognized. So th' only th'n fer ye t' do be writ'n th' message.
Th' follow'n parameters be avail'ble 'n this partial:
latestUrl - th' URL o' th' displayed plank 'n th' default version, or o' its home plank if th' plank does not exist there
Migrat'n fer Relearrrn 9
Previously, versions were configured wit' th' theme’s options versions, version an' versionIndexURL. Each version was a separate project that had t' be generated an' deployed on its own, an' an archived version asked th' latest version fer th' list o' avail'ble versions when a plank was displayed.
Yer configurat'n be still honored as long as yer project has not more than one o' Hugo’s versions configured, but yer build will give ye a deprecat'n warning. Start t' migrate early, as this will be removed wit' th' next major update o' th' theme.
T' migrate
br'n th' rrrambl'n o' yer separate projects into one project an' mount it as shown 'n th' example above
name Hugo’s versions 'n a way that th' subdirectories o' yer archived versions stay th' same, so links from other sites into yer archived versions don’t break
remove versions, version an' versionIndexURL from th' params o' yer hugo.toml
deploy all versions from th' one build an' stop deploy'n yer archived versions separately
Meta Information
Ship Author Informat'n
Opt'n Th' theme uses author details 'n various parts o' yer ship, like RSS feeds an' meta tags.
Th' title will be used 'n meta informat'n o' yer HTML.
hugo.
title='Hugo Relearrrn Theme'
title:Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme
{"title":"Hugo Relearrrn Theme"}
Ship Descript'n
Front Matter Th' theme shows a ship descript'n 'n various places, such as RSS feeds an' meta tags. For this, it uses th' descript'n field from yer home page’s front matter.
Social Media Images
When yer plank be shared on social media, ye can set a site-wide image t' display wit' th' link
hugo.
images=['images/hero.png']
images:- images/hero.png
{"images":["images/hero.png"]}
More Social Media Opt'ns
Th' theme adheres t' Hugo’s official documentat'n fer Open Graph an' Twitter Cards configurat'n.
Available Output Formats
Th' Relearrrn theme by default comes wit' templates fer HTML an' RSS fer each plank.
Th' results o' th' dedicated search plank can be printed if yer home plank can.
By default this adds a printer ay'con 'n th' topbar but can be deactived. Click'n it switches t' print preview, show'n th' plank an' its vis'ble subpages 'n a printer-friendly format. Use yer browser’s print funct'n t' print or save as PDF.
Th' URL won’t be configured ugly fer Hugo’s URL handl'n, even wit' uglyURLs=true 'n hugo.toml. This be because each mime type can only have one suffix.
If ye don’t like th' URLs, ye can reconfigure outputFormats.print 'n yer hugo.toml t' someth'n other than th' default o':
By default this adds a Marrrkdown ay'con 'n th' topbar but can be deactived. Click'n it switches t' th' Marrrkdown source includ'n th' title o' th' plank.
En'ble support t' show th' source code o' a plank if it was generated from a file. Add th' source output format t' yer home, section, an' plank 'n hugo.toml:
By default this adds a Source ay'con 'n th' topbar but can be deactived. Click'n it switches t' th' source code o' th' plank.
Th' Source output format differs from th' Marrrkdown format, as it prints th' source code as be includ'n th' front matter.
Th' URL won’t be configured ugly fer Hugo’s URL handl'n, even wit' uglyURLs=true 'n hugo.toml. This be because each mime type can only have one suffix.
If ye don’t like th' URLs, ye can reconfigure outputFormats.source 'n yer hugo.toml t' someth'n other than th' default o':
