Alternatives

The rel HTML attribute defines the relationship between a linked resource and the current document. An alternate value indicates an alternate representation of the current document. With the type attribute value of “application/rss+xml"or “application/atom+xml”, it creates a hyperlink referencing a syndication feed.

Settings#

By default, when you build your site, Hugo generates RSS feeds for home, section, taxonomy, and term pages. You can control feed generation in config/_default/hugo.toml.

For example, to generate feeds for home and section pages, but not for taxonomy and term pages:

[outputs]
  home = ['html', 'rss']
  section = ['html', 'rss']
  taxonomy = ['html']
  term = ['html']

Generated meta tags#

Hyas uses AlternativeOutputFormats to return a slice of OutputFormat objects, excluding the current output format, each representing one of the output formats enabled for the given page.

Hyas SEO generates the following meta tags (if applicable) — for example:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://getdoks.org/index.xml" title="My Docs">
