    23  ## Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules
    24  
    25  Hugo takes the parameters listed below into consideration when choosing a layout for a given page. They are listed in a priority order. This should feel natural, but look at the table below for concrete examples of the different parameter variations.
    26  
    27  
    28  Kind
    29  : The page `Kind` (the home page is one). See the example tables below per kind. This also determines if it is a **single page** (i.e. a regular content page. We then look for a template in `_default/single.html` for HTML) or a **list page** (section listings, home page, taxonomy lists, taxonomy terms. We then look for a template in `_default/list.html` for HTML).
    30  
    31  Output Format
    32  : See [Custom Output Formats](/templates/output-formats). An output format has both a `name` (e.g. `rss`, `amp`, `html`) and a `suffix` (e.g. `xml`, `html`). We prefer matches with both (e.g. `index.amp.html`, but look for less specific templates.
    33  
    34  Language
    35  : We will consider a language code in the template name. If the site language is `fr`, `index.fr.amp.html` will win over `index.amp.html`, but `index.amp.html` will be chosen before `index.fr.html`.
    36  
    37  Layout
    38  : Can be set in page front matter.
    39  
    40  Type
    41  : Is value of `type` if set in front matter, else it is the name of the root section (e.g. "blog"). It will always have a value, so if not set, the value is "page". 
    42  
    43  Section
    44  : Is relevant for `section`, `taxonomy` and `taxonomyTerm` types.
    45  
    46  {{% note %}}
    47  **Tip:** The examples below looks long and complex. That is the flexibility talking. Most Hugo sites contain just a handful of templates:
    48  
    49  ```bash
    50  ├── _default
    51  │   ├── baseof.html
    52  │   ├── list.html
    53  │   └── single.html
    54  └── index.html
    55  ```
    56  {{% /note %}}
    57  
    58  
    59  ## Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules With Theme
    60  
    61  In Hugo, layouts can live in either the project's or the themes' layout folders, and the most specific layout will be chosen. Hugo will interleave the lookups listed below, finding the most specific one either in the project or themes.
    62  
    63  ## Examples: Layout Lookup for Regular Pages
    64  
    65  {{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == page" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
    66  
    67  ## Examples: Layout Lookup for Home Page
    68  
    69  {{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == home" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
    70  
    71  ## Examples: Layout Lookup for Section Pages
    72  
    73  {{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == section" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
    74  
    75  ## Examples: Layout Lookup for Taxonomy List Pages
    76  
    77  {{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == taxonomy" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
    78  
    79  ## Examples: Layout Lookup for Taxonomy Terms Pages
    80  
    81  {{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "Kind == taxonomyTerm" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}}
