The author of this web content discusses their project of repurposing the Hugo website framework as a single-user wiki. They explain that the main features they wanted were the ability to freely link to other pages, a visual indication of whether a linked-to page exists, and a common “coming soon” page for missing links. They chose to use Hugo because it is fast, supports Markdown formatting, and has a powerful shortcode system. The author provides instructions on how to create a custom shortcode for linking pages and discusses the components involved in making this configuration work. The author concludes by expressing their satisfaction with the project and even shares a bonus tip on using Visual Studio Code snippets for easier insertion of the custom shortcode.
