This release brings a choice of **AP Style or Chicago Style Title Case** ([8fb594bf](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/8fb594bfb090c017d4e5cbb2905780221e202c41) [#989](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/989)). You can also now configure Blackfriday to render **« French Guillemets »** ([cb9dfc26](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/cb9dfc2613ae5125cafa450097fb0f62dd3770e7) [#3725](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3725)). To enable French Guillemets, put this in your site `config.toml`:
```bash
[blackfriday]
angledQuotes = true
smartypantsQuotesNBSP = true
```
Oh, and this release also fixes it so you should see no ugly long crashes no more when you step wrong in your templates ([794ea21e](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/794ea21e9449b876c5514f1ce8fe61449bbe4980)).
Hugo `0.26` represents **46 contributions by 11 contributors** to the main Hugo code base.
[@bep](https://github.com/bep) leads the Hugo development with a significant amount of contributions, but also a big shoutout to [@anthonyfok](https://github.com/anthonyfok), [@jorinvo](https://github.com/jorinvo), and [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for their ongoing contributions. And as always a big thanks to [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman) for his relentless work on keeping the documentation and the themes site in pristine condition.
Many have also been busy writing and fixing the documentation in [hugoDocs](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs),
which has received **838 contributions by 30 contributors**. A special thanks to [@rdwatters](https://github.com/rdwatters), [@bep](https://github.com/bep), [@digitalcraftsman](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman), and [@budparr](https://github.com/budparr) for their work on the documentation site.
This may look like a **Waiting Sausage**, a barbecue term used in Norway for that sausage you eat while waiting for the steak to get ready. And it is: We're working on bigger and even more interesting changes behind the scenes. Stay tuned!
Hugo now has:
* 18802+ [stars](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/stargazers)
* 457+ [contributors](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/graphs/contributors)
* 175+ [themes](http://themes.gohugo.io/)
## Notes
* `sourceRelativeLinks` has been deprecated for a while and has now been removed. [9891c0fb](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/commit/9891c0fb0eb274b8a95b62c40070a87a6e04088c) [@bep](https://github.com/bep) [#3766](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3766)
* The `title` template function and taxonomy page titles now default to following the [AP Stylebook](https://www.apstylebook.com/) for title casing. To override this default to use the old behavior, set `titleCaseStyle` to `Go` in your site configuration.
