disableAliases = true
disableHugoGeneratorInject = truehttp://localhost:3000/reference/configuration/settings/
disableKinds = ["taxonomy", "term"]
enableEmoji = true
enableGitInfo = false
enableRobotsTXT = true
languageCode = "en-US"
rssLimit = 10
summarylength = 20 # 70 (default)

copyRight = "Copyright (c) 2020-2026 Thulite"

[build.buildStats]
  enable = true

[outputs]
  home = ["HTML"]

[caches]
  [caches.getresource]
    dir = ":cacheDir/:project"
    maxAge = "30m"

[taxonomies]
  category = "categories"

[permalinks]
  blog = "/:title/"

[minify.tdewolff.html]
  keepComments = true # If set to false, build signatures are removed
  keepWhitespace = false

[related]
  threshold = 80
  includeNewer = true
  toLower = false
    [[related.indices]]
      name = "categories"
      weight = 100
    [[related.indices]]
      name = "tags"
      weight = 80
    [[related.indices]]
      name = "date"
      weight = 10
```

## Update parameters

Update your [parameters](/reference/configuration/parameters/) in `./config/_default/params.toml`:

```toml {title="params.toml"}
# Hugo
title = "My Thulite site"
description = "Congrats on setting up a new Thulite project!"
images = ["cover.png"]

# Debug
[render_hooks.image]
  errorLevel = 'ignore' # ignore (default), warning, or error (fails the build)

  errorLevel = 'ignore' # ignore (default), warning, or error (fails the build)
  highlightBroken = false # true or false (default)
```

## Update page frontmatter
