This article is part of the series Using Techly.

Techly supports post series out of the box. Use it for multi-part tutorials, migration diaries, or any set of articles that read best in order.

Enable the series taxonomy

Add the series taxonomy to your site’s hugo.toml:

[taxonomies]
  tag = "tags"
  category = "categories"
  series = "series"

If you override taxonomies, include the defaults you still use — Hugo replaces the whole list, it does not merge entries from the theme module.

Tag a post

Add a series field to the post’s front matter:

series = ['Using Techly']

A post can belong to one series. The name you choose becomes the series title and URL slug (/series/using-techly/).

What readers see

On each post in a series, Techly shows:

  • a short notice linking to the series page
  • a numbered list of all articles in the series, with the current one highlighted
  • previous and next links when applicable

The series index at /series/ lists every series on your site. Each series page lists its posts in publication order.

Optional series descriptions

Create a term page to add a title and description for a series:

hugo new series/using-techly/_index.md

Edit the generated file to set the series summary. That text appears on the series index and on the series page header.
