+## The Config Toggler!
+
+This is an exemple for the Config Toggle shortcode.
+Its purpose is to let users choose a Config language by clicking on its corresponding tab. Upon doing so, every Code toggler on the page will be switched to the target language. Also, target language will be saved in user's `localStorage` so when they go to a different pages, Code Toggler display their last "toggled" config language.

+
+Hugo uses the `config.toml`, `config.yaml`, or `config.json` (if found in the
+site root) as the default site config file.
+
+The user can choose to override that default with one or more site config files
+using the command line `--config` switch.
+
+Examples:
+
+```
+hugo --config debugconfig.toml
+hugo --config a.toml,b.toml,c.toml
+```
+
+{{% note %}}
+Multiple site config files can be specified as a comma-separated string to the `--config` switch.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+## All Configuration Settings

+cd ~/sites/yourhugosite
+hugo config | grep emoji
+```
+
+which shows output like
+
+```
+enableemoji: true
+```
+{{% /note %}}
+
+## Configuration Lookup Order
+
+Similar to the template [lookup order][], Hugo has a default set of rules for searching for a configuration file in the root of your website's source directory as a default behavior:
+
+1. `./config.toml`
+2. `./config.yaml`
+3. `./config.json`
+
+In your `config` file, you can direct Hugo as to how you want your website rendered, control your website's menus, and arbitrarily define site-wide parameters specific to your project.
+
+
+## Example Configuration
+
+The following is a typical example of a configuration file. The values nested under `params:` will populate the [`.Site.Params`][] variable for use in [templates][]:
+
+{{< code-toggle file="config">}}
+baseURL: "https://yoursite.example.com/"
+title: "My Hugo Site"
+footnoteReturnLinkContents: "↩"
+permalinks:
+ post: /:year/:month/:title/
+params:
+ Subtitle: "Hugo is Absurdly Fast!"
+ AuthorName: "Jon Doe"
+ GitHubUser: "spf13"
+ ListOfFoo:
+ - "foo1"
+ - "foo2"
+ SidebarRecentLimit: 5
+{{< /code-toggle >}}
+
+## Configure with Environment Variables
+
+In addition to the 3 config options already mentioned, configuration key-values can be defined through operating system environment variables.
+
+For example, the following command will effectively set a website's title on Unix-like systems:
+
+```
+$ env HUGO_TITLE="Some Title" hugo
+```
+
+This is really useful if you use a service such as Netlify to deploy your site. Look at the Hugo docs [Netlify configuration file](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/blob/master/netlify.toml) for an example.
+
+{{% note "Setting Environment Variables" %}}
+Names must be prefixed with `HUGO_` and the configuration key must be set in uppercase when setting operating system environment variables.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+{{< todo >}}
+Test and document setting params via JSON env var.
+{{< /todo >}}
+
+## Ignore Files When Rendering
+
+The following statement inside `./config.toml` will cause Hugo to ignore files ending with `.foo` and `.boo` when rendering:
+
+```
+ignoreFiles = [ "\\.foo$", "\\.boo$" ]
+```
+
+The above is a list of regular expressions. Note that the backslash (`\`) character is escaped in this example to keep TOML happy.
+
+## Configure Front Matter
+
+### Configure Dates
+
+Dates are important in Hugo, and you can configure how Hugo assigns dates to your content pages. You do this by adding a `frontmatter` section to your `config.toml`.
+
+
+The default configuration is:
+
+```toml
+[frontmatter]
+date = ["date","publishDate", "lastmod"]
+lastmod = [":git" "lastmod", "date","publishDate"]
+publishDate = ["publishDate", "date"]
+expiryDate = ["expiryDate"]
+```
+
+If you, as an example, have a non-standard date parameter in some of your content, you can override the setting for `date`:
+
+ ```toml
+[frontmatter]
+date = [ "myDate", ":default"]
+```
+
+The `:default` is a shortcut to the default settings. The above will set `.Date` to the date value in `myDate` if present, if not we will look in `date`,`publishDate`, `lastmod` and pick the first valid date.
+
+In the list to the right, values starting with ":" are date handlers with a special meaning (see below). The others are just names of date parameters (case insensitive) in your front matter configuration. Also note that Hugo have some built-in aliases to the above: `lastmod` => `modified`, `publishDate` => `pubdate`, `published` and `expiryDate` => `unpublishdate`. With that, as an example, using `pubDate` as a date in front matter, will, by default, be assigned to `.PublishDate`.
+
+The special date handlers are:
+
+
+`:fileModTime`
+: Fetches the date from the content file's last modification timestamp.
+
+An example:
+
+ ```toml
+[frontmatter]
+lastmod = ["lastmod" ,":fileModTime", ":default"]
+```
+
+
+The above will try first to extract the value for `.Lastmod` starting with the `lastmod` front matter parameter, then the content file's modification timestamp. The last, `:default` should not be needed here, but Hugo will finally look for a valid date in `:git`, `date` and then `publishDate`.
+
+
+`:filename`
+: Fetches the date from the content file's filename. For example, `218-02-22-mypage.md` will extract the date `218-02-22`. Also, if `slug` is not set, `mypage` will be used as the value for `.Slug`.
+
+An example:
+
+```toml
+[frontmatter]
+date = [":filename", ":default"]
+```
+
+The above will try first to extract the value for `.Date` from the filename, then it will look in front matter parameters `date`, `publishDate` and lastly `lastmod`.
+
+
+`:git`
+: This is the Git author date for the last revision of this content file. This will only be set if `--enableGitInfo` is set or `enableGitInfo = true` is set in site config.
+
+## Configure Blackfriday
+
+[Blackfriday](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) is Hugo's built-in Markdown rendering engine.
+
+Hugo typically configures Blackfriday with sane default values that should fit most use cases reasonably well.
+
+However, if you have specific needs with respect to Markdown, Hugo exposes some of its Blackfriday behavior options for you to alter. The following table lists these Hugo options, paired with the corresponding flags from Blackfriday's source code ( [html.go](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/blob/master/html.go) and [markdown.go](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/blob/master/markdown.go)).
+
+{{< readfile file="/content/en/readfiles/bfconfig.md" markdown="true" >}}
+
+{{% note %}}
+1. Blackfriday flags are *case sensitive* as of Hugo v0.15.
+2. Blackfriday flags must be grouped under the `blackfriday` key and can be set on both the site level *and* the page level. Any setting on a page will override its respective site setting.

+{{< code-toggle file="config" >}}

+
+## Configure Additional Output Formats
+
+Hugo v0.20 introduced the ability to render your content to multiple output formats (e.g., to JSON, AMP html, or CSV). See [Output Formats][] for information on how to add these values to your Hugo project's configuration file.

+## New Site Scaffolding
+
+{{< youtube sB0HLHjgQ7E >}}
+
+Running the `hugo new site` generator from the command line will create a directory structure with the following elements:
+
+```
+.
+├── archetypes
+├── config.toml
+├── content
+├── data
+├── layouts
+├── static
+└── themes
+```
+
+
+## Directory Structure Explained
+
+The following is a high-level overview of each of the directories with links to each of their respective sections within the Hugo docs.
+
+[`archetypes`](/content-management/archetypes/)
+: You can create new content files in Hugo using the `hugo new` command.
+By default, Hugo will create new content files with at least `date`, `title` (inferred from the file name), and `draft = true`. This saves time and promotes consistency for sites using multiple content types. You can create your own [archetypes][] with custom preconfigured front matter fields as well.
+
+[`config.toml`](/getting-started/configuration/)
+: Every Hugo project should have a configuration file in TOML, YAML, or JSON format at the root. Many sites may need little to no configuration, but Hugo ships with a large number of [configuration directives][] for more granular directions on how you want Hugo to build your website.
+
+[`content`][]
+: All content for your website will live inside this directory. Each top-level folder in Hugo is considered a [content section][]. For example, if your site has three main sections---`blog`, `articles`, and `tutorials`---you will have three directories at `content/blog`, `content/articles`, and `content/tutorials`. Hugo uses sections to assign default [content types][].
+
+[`data`](/templates/data-templates/)
+: This directory is used to store configuration files that can be
+used by Hugo when generating your website. You can write these files in YAML, JSON, or TOML format. In addition to the files you add to this folder, you can also create [data templates][] that pull from dynamic content.
+
+[`layouts`][]
+: Stores templates in the form of `.html` files that specify how views of your content will be rendered into a static website. Templates include [list pages][lists], your [homepage][], [taxonomy templates][], [partials][], [single page templates][singles], and more.
+
+[`static`][]
+: Stores all the static content for your future website: images, CSS, JavaScript, etc. When Hugo builds your site, all assets inside your static directory are copied over as-is. A good example of using the `static` folder is for [verifying site ownership on Google Search Console][searchconsole], where you want Hugo to copy over a complete HTML file without modifying its content.
+
+{{% note %}}
+From **Hugo 0.31** you can have multiple static directories.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+{{% note %}}
+Hugo does not currently ship with an asset pipeline ([#3207](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3207)). You can solicit support from the community in the [Hugo forums](https://discourse.gohugo.io) or check out a few of the [Hugo starter kits](/tools/starter-kits/) for examples of how Hugo developers are managing static assets.

+* macOS (Darwin) for x64, i386, and ARM architectures
+* Windows
+* Linux
+* FreeBSD
+
+Hugo may also be compiled from source wherever the Go compiler tool chain can run; e.g., on other operating systems such as DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Plan&nbsp;9, Solaris, and others. See <https://golang.org/doc/install/source> for the full set of supported combinations of target operating systems and compilation architectures.
+
+## Quick Install
+
+### Binary (Cross-platform)
+
+Download the appropriate version for your platform from [Hugo Releases][releases]. Once downloaded, the binary can be run from anywhere. You don't need to install it into a global location. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don't have a privileged account.
+
+Ideally, you should install it somewhere in your `PATH` for easy use. `/usr/local/bin` is the most probable location.
+
+### Homebrew (macOS)
+
+If you are on macOS and using [Homebrew][brew], you can install Hugo with the following one-liner:
+
+{{< code file="install-with-homebrew.sh" >}}
+brew install hugo
+{{< /code >}}
+
+For more detailed explanations, read the installation guides that follow for installing on macOS and Windows.
+
+### Chocolatey (Windows)
+
+If you are on a Windows machine and use [Chocolatey][] for package management, you can install Hugo with the following one-liner:
+
+{{< code file="install-with-chocolatey.ps1" >}}
+choco install hugo -confirm
+{{< /code >}}
+
+### Source
+
+#### Prerequisite Tools
+
+* [Git][installgit]
+* [Go (latest or previous version)][installgo]
+
+#### Vendored Dependencies
+
+Hugo uses [dep][] to vendor dependencies, but we don't commit the vendored packages themselves to the Hugo git repository. Therefore, a simple `go get` is *not* supported because the command is not vendor aware.
+
+The simplest way is to use [mage][] (a Make alternative for Go projects.)
+
+#### Fetch from GitHub
+
+{{< code file="from-gh.sh" >}}
+go get github.com/magefile/mage
+go get -d github.com/gohugoio/hugo
+cd ${GOPATH:-$HOME/go}/src/github.com/gohugoio/hugo
+mage vendor
+mage install
+{{< /code >}}

+## macOS
+
+### Assumptions
+
+1. You know how to open the macOS terminal.
+2. You're running a modern 64-bit Mac.
+3. You will use `~/Sites` as the starting point for your site. (`~/Sites` is used for example purposes. If you are familiar enough with the command line and file system, you should have no issues following along with the instructions.)
+
+### Pick Your Method
+
+There are three ways to install Hugo on your Mac
+
+1. The [Homebrew][brew] `brew` utility
+2. Distribution (i.e., tarball)
+3. Building from Source
+
+There is no "best" way to install Hugo on your Mac. You should use the method that works best for your use case.
+
+#### Pros and Cons
+
+There are pros and cons to each of the aforementioned methods:
+
+1. **Homebrew.** Homebrew is the simplest method and will require the least amount of work to maintain. The drawbacks aren't severe. The default package will be for the most recent release, so it will not have bug fixes until the next release (i.e., unless you install it with the `--HEAD` option). Hugo `brew` releases may lag a few days behind because it has to be coordinated with another team. Nevertheless, `brew` is the recommended installation method if you want to work from a stable, widely used source. Brew works well and is easy to update.
+
+2. **Tarball.** Downloading and installing from the tarball is also easy, although it requires a few more command line skills than does Homebrew. Updates are easy as well: you just repeat the process with the new binary. This gives you the flexibility to have multiple versions on your computer. If you don't want to use `brew`, then the tarball/binary is a good choice.
+
+3. **Building from Source.** Building from source is the most work. The advantage of building from source is that you don't have to wait for a release to add features or bug fixes. The disadvantage is that you need to spend more time managing the setup, which is manageable but requires more time than the preceding two options.
+

+Since building from source is appealing to more seasoned command line users, this guide will focus more on installing Hugo via Homebrew and Tarball.

+### Install Hugo with Brew
+
+{{< youtube WvhCGlLcrF8 >}}
+
+#### Step 1: Install `brew` if you haven't already
+
+Go to the `brew` website, <https://brew.sh/>, and follow the directions there. The most important step is the installation from the command line:
+
+{{< code file="install-brew.sh" >}}
+ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
+{{< /code >}}
