Layout

PAGE.Layout

string

Specify the layout field in front matter to target a particular template. See details.

layout: contact
title: Contact

layout = 'contact'
title = 'Contact'

{
   "layout": "contact",
   "title": "Contact"
}

Hugo will render the page using contact.html.

layouts/
└── _default/
    ├── baseof.html
    ├── contact.html
    ├── home.html
    ├── list.html
    └── single.html

Although rarely used within a template, you can access the value with:

{{ .Layout }}

The Layout method returns an empty string if the layout field in front matter is not defined.
