When creating navigation templates for hugo, it is a common practice to generate a navigation item for each item in the menu. One of these will be highlighted by using the .IsMenuCurrent function on the current page to compare the current page with the page of the menu entry. This only works with pages with menu in the frontmatter. Suppose you have a site layout like mine: posts/ _index.md (menu: main) post.

John Conway A few days ago I woke up to news that John Conway, British mathematician and inventor of the “Game of Life” cellular automata, had passed away due to Coronavirus. At UC Davis, Conway’s game of life is often the final programming assignment of our intro to programming course, and I had implemented something similar when I took the intro course.
