{{ printf "%#v" . }}

If you ever need to drill into what is passed to a template, just put this at the top of your template somewhere:

{{ printf "%#v" . }}


Then look at a page generated by that template - that'll print out what the top level object is, and what it's fields are. When I do it with a shortcode template, I get something like this:

&hugolib.ShortcodeWithPage{Params:[]string{"."}, Inner:"", Page:(*hugolib.Page)(0xc2082e4840)}

Go's reference time for layouts is:

Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006
which can also be expressed as:

01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700
For more information: http://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants535

By picking a default date, there is less parsing that needs to happen, plus they chose a date that shows definitively how to handle things like leading zeroes, day/month ordering and other edge cases that aren't discernible from all dates.

.Site.Pages = All the Pages (note the capital P) in the site.
.Data.Pages: All the Pages for the given Node (sections, taxonomies). This will be a subset of the above for all other nodes than the home page: On that Node I believe these slices are the same.
