A Base theme for Hugo, a framework for building websites.

DEMO

The demo sites contains a section called “Unit Tests,” which are a work in progress, but eventually will allow theme developers to test against various edge cases that a theme’s users might publish. (so, note, not all the tests are valid or appropriate here, they’re present to start working on.)
