These configuration lines tell Hugo to take the directory `partials` and all of its contents, and make them available as `content`. That is, make the contents available to our site users.
This allows us to fetch any HTML file from `partials` with htmx (or simple HTTP requests).
This allows us to fetch any HTML file from `partials` with htmx (or any HTTP requests).
So for example, we can fetch the file `partials/content.html` by adding the following HTML to any markdown file. You can find the following snippet at the bottom of `content/posts/hello-world.md`.

### Introducing an API server
`hugo-htmx-go-template` comes with a simple web server from which much more complex functionality can be built. It's important to remember that all web applications are simply a combination of forms and buttons that do stuff when users interact with them. We've shown how to make a button load content dynamically, but what about forms? Can our Hugo site process form data?
`hugo-htmx-go-template` comes with a bare bones web server from which much more complex functionality can be built. It's important to remember that all web applications are simply a combination of forms and buttons that do stuff when users interact with them.

Indeed it can. And that means we can build entire web applications with Hugo as the templating and build system, and something else as the "backend".
`hugo-htmx-go-template` provides such a backend. `server.go` is a simple Go web server that renders `html/template` or [templ](https://github.com/a-h/templ) templates, for those who prefer to write templates in pure Go. Of course, this is only a rudimentary web server. As the name suggests, `hugo-htmx-go-template` is simply a template from which to build projects. It is itself a simple Hugo project with some added tooling, and an optional web server, but we'll get to that.
