Now within the template, blocks can be defined that can be overridden by other templates.
For example, the main content is entirely different on a single post versus a list of posts.
The single template can simply render the HTML content from the markdown.
The list template though will need to loop over a range of pages in that directory, then render a truncated preview of the content.
The website will also likely need a sidebar menu, which can be coded as a partial template that can be reused in other layouts.

In this video, a speaker explains the history and features of Hugo, an open source static site generator that uses Go templates to render HTML content. The system uses Go templates to avoid redundancy and maximise flexibility, and creates a hierarchy of layouts to minimize code duplication. It is also designed to use a themes directory to create a fully dynamic menu of content types and use it to build dynamic menus. The system uses a fully dynamic tree of sections and other built in features, including syntax highlighting, image processing, eleventh  support, and shortcodes.
