-## Hugo Partial
-To then embed this information in your Hugo site, you can copy and use the provided partials in `/partials`. Graph provides a graph view of all nodes and links and Backlinks provides a list of pages that link to this page. 
-
-To start, create a `graphConfig.yaml` file in `/data` in your Hugo folder. This will be our main point of configuration for the graph partial.
-
-Then, in one of your Hugo templates, do something like the following to render the graph.
-
-```html
-<div id="graph-container">
-    {{partial "graph_partial.html" .}}
-</div>
-```
-
-### Configuration
-Example:
-
-```yaml
-enableLegend: false
-enableDrag: true
-enableZoom: false
-base:
-  node: "#284b63"
-  activeNode: "#f28482"
-  inactiveNode: "#a8b3bd"
-  link: "#babdbf"
-  activeLink: "#5a7282"
-paths:
-  - /toc: "#4388cc"
-  - /newsletters: "#e0b152"
-  - /posts: "#42c988"
