I bought the book to help familiarize myself with Hugo.
The examples in Chapter 1 worked fine.
I know it isn’t my Hugo installation, as I can run both official as well as theme-specific starters.
Starting in Chapter 2, the samples don’t work and I just get a blank page.
I thought, “I probably mistyped something.” So, I downloaded the source archive. But the source archive has the same problem.
I wondered, “Do some of the later examples work?” Since they were all in the archive, I didn’t need to wait until I got there in the book.
It turns out, some of them give different results. Most of them seem to do nothing – the same problem I was having – but at least two of them generate failure messages.
This is disappointing, to say the least.
