ASW Data-Attribute Vocabulary

The ASW-Hugo pack emits these data-* attributes in its HTML output.

Attribute Element Meaning
data-callout="note" <aside> Note callout block
data-callout="warning" <aside> Warning callout
data-callout="tip" <aside> Tip callout
data-callout="info" <aside> Info callout
data-wikilink <a> Internal vault-style link
data-role="tag-cloud" <nav> Tag navigation
data-layout="grid" <section> Grid layout for list pages
data-tag <a> Tag label on links

All styling comes from asw.css targeting these attributes — no CSS classes required.

Example: Full Page Skeleton

A complete ASW page emitted by the Hugo pack looks like this:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Session Log · Vault</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/asw.css">
</head>
<body>
  <header>
    <nav>
      <ul><li><strong>Vault</strong></li></ul>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="/articles/">Posts</a></li>
        <li><a href="/notes/">Vault</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  </header>

  <div data-layout="docs">
    <aside>
      <nav aria-label="Vault documentation" data-nav="sidebar">
        <ul>
          <li><a href="/notes/tasks/" aria-current="page">Tasks</a></li>
          <li><a href="/notes/wikilinks/">Wikilinks</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </aside>

    <article>
      <hgroup>
        <h1>Tasks</h1>
        <p>Render task lists with semantic state.</p>
      </hgroup>
      <!-- page content -->
    </article>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Notice: no class attributes anywhere. The layout, sidebar, and navigation styles are all driven by element semantics and data-* attributes.
