Introduction - tags

Every type of available template *.hbs file has access to a specific list of Handlebars tags.

We have divided them into two groups: template-related tags and common tags.

Template-related tags are available only in a specific template file when common tags are available in the same form for other templates.

Publii uses a few Handlebars template files to render your website:

• index.hbs - for the homepage and its pagination,
• post.hbs - for single post pages,
• page.hbs - for single pages,
• tag.hbs - for tag posts listing and its pagination,
• tags.hbs - for tags tag listing,
• author.hbs - for author posts listing and its pagination
• feed-xml.hbs and feed-json.hbs - for feed.xml and feed.json files output,
• search.hbs (optional) - for search page,
• 404.hbs (optional) - for 404 error page

Many of these tags return items with their own fields: post, page, tag, author and featured image items.

Additionally, for posts, tags and authors pages you can create and use templates. In this case, your file names will contain a slug connected with the specific template. You can read more about it in the custom templates guide.
