Content Type

Yore provides three content types: blog, docs, and gallery. Each type renders pages with a different set of templates and supports a different set of configuration fields. This guide shows you how to assign a type to your pages.

Setup

There are two ways to assign a content type to a page.

Directory-based

Place your Markdown files under the matching content directory. Hugo automatically assigns the type based on the directory name:

content/docs/     → type: docs
content/gallery/  → type: gallery

The default type blog is assigned if the path doesn't match any of them.

Cascade

Use cascade when your content structure does not map directly to the matching directory. Set it in hugo.yaml to target arbitrary path patterns, or in a section's _index.md to scope it to that section only.

cascade:
  - type: docs
    target:
      path: '{/shortcodes,/shortcodes/**}'

---
title: Shortcode Section
cascade:
  type: docs
---

The hugo.yaml setup is more flexible and centralized than front matter setup.
