12 Hugo `0.20.2` adds support for plain text partials included into `HTML` templates. This was a side-effect of the big new [Custom Output Format](https://gohugo.io/extras/output-formats/) feature in `0.20`, and while the change was intentional and there was an ongoing discussion about fixing it in [#3273](//github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3273), it did break some themes. There were valid workarounds for these themes, but we might as well get it right.
13
14 The most obvious use case for this is inline `CSS` styles, which you now can do without having to name your partials with a `html` suffix.
15
16 A simple example:
17
18 In `layouts/partials/mystyles.css`:
19
20 body {
21 background-color: {{ .Param "colors.main" }}
22 }
23
24 Then in `config.toml` (note that by using the `.Param` lookup func, we can override the color in a page’s front matter if we want):
25
26 {{< code-toggle file="config" >}}
27 [params]
28 [params.colors]
29 main = "green"
30 text = "blue"
31 {{< /code-toggle >}}
32
33 And then in `layouts/partials/head.html` (or the partial used to include the head section into your layout):
34
35 <head>
36 <style type="text/css">
37 {{ partial "mystyles.css" . | safeCSS }}
38 </style>
39 </head>
40
41 Of course, `0.20` also made it super-easy to create external `CSS` stylesheets based on your site and page configuration. A simple example:
42
43 Add “CSS” to your home page’s `outputs` list, create the template `/layouts/index.css` using Go template syntax for the dynamic parts, and then include it into your `HTML` template with:
44
45 {{ with .OutputFormats.Get "css" }}
46 <link rel="{{ .Rel }}" type="{{ .MediaType.Type }}" href="{{ .Permalink | safeURL }}">
47 {{ end }}`
