Zola will look up the following, taxon-specific files in the templates directory:

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

if they are not found, it will attempt to fall back on the following generic template files:

• taxonomy_single.html
• taxonomy_list.html

The taxonomy templates are required only if at least one taxonomy exists with render set to true.

First, TaxonomyTerm has the following fields:

name: String;
slug: String;
path: String;
permalink: String;
pages: Array<Page>;
page_count: Number;

and TaxonomyConfig has the following fields:

name: String,
paginate_by: Number?;
paginate_path: String?;
feed: Bool;
render: Bool;

Taxonomy list (list.html)

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

// 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>;
// The lang of the current page
lang: String;

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;
// The lang of the current page
lang: String;

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