Go Template Language

The Go template language uses double brackets {{ ... }} to insert variables or code snippets into HTML or Markdown.

• $ represents the top-level component, for us that usually means page
• site accesses variables for the whole site
• hugo accesses compiler variables

In order to access things, you need to know where Hugo stores them. To get the page title, you’d use <h1>{{$.Title}}</h1> but to get the subtitle it’s <h2>{{$.Params.Subtitle}}</h2>.
