Archetypes

Archetype = prototype = template for content files.

Control what gets put into the markdown .md files when you create them with hugo new content content/file.md (the same as hugo new file.md).

Content template for specific directories

By default the archetype that is used is in: archetypes/default.md
To use another archetype, create e.g.: archetypes/dir1.md
To use this archetype: hugo new content content/dir1/c.md
