Specify the `layout` field in front matter to target a particular template. See [details].

[details]: /templates/lookup-order/#target-a-template

{{< code-toggle file=content/contact.md fm=true >}}
title = 'Contact'
layout = 'contact'
{{< /code-toggle >}}

Hugo will render the page using contact.html.

```text
layouts/
└── _default/
    ├── baseof.html
    ├── contact.html
    ├── home.html
    ├── list.html
    └── single.html
```

Although rarely used within a template, you can access the value with:

```go-html-template
{{ .Layout }}
```

The `Layout` method returns an empty string if the `layout` field in front matter is not defined.
