See [details](/content-management/archetypes/). - -###### argument - -A [scalar](#scalar), [array](#array), [slice](#slice), [map](#map), or [object](#object) passed to a [function](#function), [method](#method), or [shortcode](#shortcode). - -###### array - -A numbered sequence of elements. Unlike Go's [slice](#slice) data type, an array has a fixed length. [Elements](#element) within an array can be [scalars](#scalar), slices, [maps](#map), pages, or other arrays. See the [Go documentation](https://go.dev/ref/spec#Array_types) for details. - -###### bool - -See [boolean](#boolean). - -###### boolean - -A data type with two possible values, either `true` or `false`. - -###### branch bundle - -A [page bundle](#page-bundle) with an _index.md file and zero or more [resources](#resource). Analogous to a physical branch, a branch bundle may have descendants including regular pages, [leaf bundles](/getting-started/glossary/#leaf-bundle), and other branch bundles. See [details](/content-management/page-bundles/). - -###### build - -To generate a static site that includes HTML files and assets such as images, CSS, and JavaScript. The build process includes rendering and resource transformations. - -###### bundle - -See [page bundle](#page-bundle). - -###### cache - -A software component that stores data so that future requests for the same data are faster. - -###### chain - -Within a template, to connect one or more [identifiers](#identifier) with a dot. An identifier can represent a method, object, or field. For example, `.Site.Params.author.name` or `.Date.UTC.Hour`. - -###### collection - -An [array](#array), [slice](#slice), or [map](#map). - -###### content format - -A markup language for creating content. Typically markdown, but may also be HTML, AsciiDoc, Org, Pandoc, or reStructuredText. See [details](/content-management/formats/). - -###### content type - -A classification of content inferred from the top-level directory name or the `type` set in [front matter](#front-matter).

See [details](/templates/views/). - -###### context - -Represented by a dot "." within a [template action](#template-action), context is the current location in a data structure. For example, while iterating over a [collection](#collection) of pages, the context within each iteration is the page's data structure. The context received by each template depends on template type and/or how it was called. See [details](/templates/introduction/#the-dot). - -###### default sort order - -The default sort order for page collections. Hugo sorts by [weight](#weight), then by date (descending), then by link title, and then by file path. - -###### element - -A member of a slice or array. - -###### environment - -Typically one of `development`, `staging`, or `production`, each environment may exhibit different behavior depending on configuration and template logic. For example, in a production environment you might minify and fingerprint CSS, but that probably doesn't make sense in a development environment. - -When running the built-in development server with the `hugo server` command, the environment is set to `development`. When building your site with the `hugo` command, the environment is set to `production`. To override the environment value, use the `--environment` command line flag. - -To determine the current environment within a template, use the [`hugo.Environment`] function. - -[`hugo.Environment`]: /functions/hugo/environment - -###### field - -A predefined key/value pair in front matter such as `date` or `title`.

See [details](/content-management/front-matter/). - -###### function - -Used within a [template action](#template-action), a function takes one or more [arguments](#argument) and returns a value. Unlike [methods](#method), functions are not associated with an [object](#object). See [details](/functions/). - -###### global resource - -A file within the assets directory, or within any directory [mounted](/hugo-modules/configuration/#module-configuration-mounts) to the assets directory.

For example, [0, 1] is the interval where `0 <= x <= 1`. - -- An _open_ interval, denoted by parentheses, excludes its endpoints. For example, (0, 1) is the interval where `0 < x < 1`. - -- A _half-open_ interval includes only one of its endpoints. For example, (0, 1] is the _left-open_ interval where `0 < x <= 1`, while [0, 1) is the _right-open_ interval where `0 <= x < 1`. - -###### kind - -See [page kind](#page-kind). - -###### layout - -See [template](#template). - -###### leaf bundle - -A [page bundle](#page-bundle) with an index.md file and zero or more [resources](#resource).

Capture one or more page resources using any of the [`Resources`] methods on a `Page` object. - -[`Resources`]: /methods/page/resources/#methods - -###### pager - -Created during [pagination](#pagination), a pager contains a subset of a section list, and navigation links to other pagers. - -###### paginate - -To split a [section](#section) list into two or more [pagers](#pager) See [details](/templates/pagination/). - -###### pagination - -The process of [paginating](#paginate) a [section](#section) list. - -###### parameter - -Typically, a user-defined key/value pair at the site or page level, but may also refer to a configuration setting or an [argument](#argument). See also [field](#field). - -###### partial - -A [template](#template) called from any other template including [shortcodes](#shortcode), [render hooks](#render-hook), and other partials.
