Zola will look up the following files in the templates directory:

• $TAXONOMY_NAME/single.html
• $TAXONOMY_NAME/list.html

First, a TaxonomyTerm has the following fields:

name: String;
slug: String;
permalink: String;
pages: Array<Page>;

and a TaxonomyConfig:

name: String,
slug: String,
paginate_by: Number?;
paginate_path: String?;
rss: Bool;

### Taxonomy list (`list.html`)

This template is never paginated and therefore get the following variables in all cases.

```ts
// The site config
config: Config;
// The data of the taxonomy, from the config
taxonomy: TaxonomyConfig;
// The current full permalink for that page
current_url: String;
// The current path for that page
current_path: String;
// All terms for that taxonomy
terms: Array<TaxonomyTerm>;

Single term (single.html)

// The site config
config: Config;
// The data of the taxonomy, from the config
taxonomy: TaxonomyConfig;
// The current full permalink for that page
current_url: String;
// The current path for that page
current_path: String;
// The current term being rendered
term: TaxonomyTerm;

A paginated taxonomy term will also get a paginator variable, see the pagination page for more details on that.
