-Hugo uses a prioritized list called the *lookup order* as it traverses your files looking for the appropriate template to render your content. The template lookup order is an inverted cascade: if template A isn’t present or specified, Hugo will look to template B. If template B isn't present or specified, Hugo will look for template C, and so on until it reaches the `layouts/_default/` directory for your project, or in the case of themes, `themes/<THEME>/layouts/_default/`. In many ways, the lookup order is similar to the [control mechanism of a switch statement (i.e. without fallthrough)][switch] seen in many programming languages.
-
-The power of the lookup order is that it enables you to craft specific layouts as needed without creating more templating than necessary, thereby keeping your templating [DRY][dry]. *Most sites will only need the default template files at the end of the lookup* (i.e. `_default/*.html`).
