'How to create a HUGO page with no direct links

Is there anyway to create a hugo page which has no direct links? I would like to be able to create a markdown file for a page but only allow people to find the page if they have a direct link.

Yes it is possible. It really depends on how you are generating your pages. As for now I am showing two ways you can do it.

Way 1: Your _default/list.html generates the list of links to your content. You can customize that to exclude a link. Watch the if conditional.

{{ range .RegularPages }}
   {{ if (not in .Title "title of page to exclude") }}
    <li>
        <a href="{{.Permalink}}">{{.Date.Format "2006-01-02"}} | {{.Title}}</a>
    </li>
   {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Way 2: Alternatively you can put an html file in the static folder of your hugo directory. If the directory does not exist, you can create it. No direct links will be generated for static contents unless you explicitly link to it from somewhere else.

You can put all pages you do not want to list into a separate content sub-folder and not include it in the menu.

For example, my setup:

content
??? blog
??? notes
??? voice

Where only voice and blog have menu items, so everything in notes can not be accessed by links from the site.
