Hugo: consistency: hugo new site uses config.toml, but YAML for content

[mariusa]

hugo new site test

config.toml uses TOML format:

title = "My New Hugo Site"

but archetypes/default.md uses YAML

title: "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
---

Please change the default to TOML equivalent, to be consistent. Or, make them both YAML.

The reason is GitHub's support for YAML front matter. If they would support TOML front matter, we would change. But they don't.

[mariusa]

Not sure if you read it by the end.
Please avoid confusion for new users and make them both YAML, in this case.
One should be able to copy

title = "My New Hugo Site"

from one place to another and have it working.

@mariusa actually has a point. If we can't move to TOML in a very large part of the contents for sites, then it would be more consistent to keep YAML for the config as well. Why not do that?
