We will see if and when an update arrives…
These features are available to be used on a per-page basis by modifying the front matter of the file.
Use the authorbox to provide attribution to the author of a post or page. The authorbox feature is based on the member shortcode and requires the same setup in order to work. Note: if the URL key is set in the author’s data file, the <a> tag linking to the URL will have the rel="author" attribute set on it. [Read more...]

If you are using Netlify to host your Hugo site, BluestNight supports creating Netlify-compatible forms in your content files through the use of a few shortcodes. [Read more...]
BluestNight supports using the Hugo built-in NextInSection and PrevInSection [page variables] to provide “next” and “previous” links to the next and previous page in the same section.

More often than not, the table ended up overflowing and looking unprofessional. So I put together a set of shortcodes to help create tables that would shift around on small screens to be more readable. [Read more...]
Hugo provides a mechanism for extracting the first part of a page’s content to serve as a “summary” of the content. This works if the first bit of content serves as a good summary of the rest of the page. Sometimes, though, it doesn’t. There’s no built-in method for providing your own text as a “summary” - but there is in BluestNight. [Read more...]
