  11 ox-hugo is an [Emacs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs) package for [org-mode](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/org-mode) that produces input for the static
  12 content generator [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), which I use for this website. Today I integrated its
  13 expectations about file structure into the Speedy theme for this blog, allowing
  14 me to keep all blog contents in a single org-mode file and export [markdown](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/markdown)
  15 content for Hugo's excellent [blackfriday markdown parser](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) (a markdown format with
  16 many added features). Hugo does support limited parsing of org files internally,
  17 but org-mode features like inline spreadsheets and system communication are
  18 beyond the scope of most external tools, so org-mode is best used as an
  19 exporter. As an Emacs user, this allows me to instantly capture interesting
  20 information I come across and publish it within seconds. Now I have no excuses!
