+## Single Page Template Lookup Order
+
+See [Template Lookup](/templates/lookup-order/).
+
+## Example Single Page Templates
+
+Content pages are of the type `page` and will therefore have all the [page variables][pagevars] and [site variables] available to use in their templates.
+
+### `posts/single.html`
+
+This single page template makes use of Hugo [base templates], the [`.Format` function] for dates, the [`.WordCount` page variable][pagevars], and ranges through the single content's specific [taxonomies][pagetaxonomy]. [`with`] is also used to check whether the taxonomies are set in the front matter.
+
+{{< code file="layouts/posts/single.html" download="single.html" >}}
+{{ define "main" }}
+
+<section id="main">
+  <h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
+  <div>
+        <article id="content">
+           {{ .Content }}
+        </article>
+  </div>
+</section>
+<aside id="meta">
+    <div>
+    <section>
+      <h4 id="date"> {{ .Date.Format "Mon Jan 2, 2006" }} </h4>
+      <h5 id="wordcount"> {{ .WordCount }} Words </h5>
+    </section>
+      {{ with .GetTerms "topics" }}
+        <ul id="topics">
+          {{ range . }}
+            <li><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></li>
+          {{ end }}
+        </ul>
+      {{ end }}
+      {{ with .GetTerms "tags" }}
+        <ul id="tags">
+          {{ range . }}
+            <li><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></li>
+          {{ end }}
+        </ul>
+      {{ end }}
+    </div>
+    <div>
+        {{ with .PrevInSection }}
+          <a class="previous" href="{{.Permalink}}"> {{.Title}}</a>
+        {{ end }}
+        {{ with .NextInSection }}
+          <a class="next" href="{{.Permalink}}"> {{.Title}}</a>
+        {{ end }}
+    </div>
+</aside>
+{{ end }}
