- BeetleB 1y agoIt didn't back when ox-hugo was written.
- lordgrenville 1y agoDidn't know that Hugo supports org files. But just one example of added functionality is being able to use one big file with a subtree for each post.
- ashton314 1y agoThis is a nice feature of ox-hugo. I still use individual files and it's great.
- globular-toast 1y agoI started using Hugo's built-in org support, but I found it quite limiting. I can't remember the specifics, but it doesn't support everything you can do with Markdown. So I quickly switched to ox-hugo. They can co-exist though so you can try the native support then switch if you run into the same shortcomings as I did.
- ashton314 1y ago^ This. Hugo's support for Markdown is much better than it's support for org-mode. ox-hugo bridges the gap super well.
- ashton314 1y agoI used Hugo's native `.org` file support for a while. It was… fine. There are some serious issues (for me) that I had with it though. The most salient one is that it didn't convert straight quotes in the source ("") to proper curly-quotes. (“”) I don't remember what else but I'm sure there was more than just that. I've spent a lot of time on the typography of my site and I wanted everything to be as perfect as I could make it.
