Hugo doesn't like dashes in frontmatter variable names

Or more specifically, your front matter itself can have hyphenated variable names, but you can't then reference those variables in your Hugo templates, which makes them useless. Apparently this is a limitation of the Go templating parser/lexer.

So how I came across this is that once I worked around #344, I found that anything with the variables like-of, bookmark-of, in-reply-to, repost-of and mp-syndicate-to would write successfully to my repository, but (after I edited my templates to use those variables) Hugo would then fail to build. The solution was quite easy: I just replaced the hyphens that would be printed to my interactions' front matter with underscores, which Hugo is fine with. So instead of these lines I have:

      ...(properties['bookmark-of'] && {'bookmark_of': properties['bookmark-of']}),
      ...(properties['like-of'] && {'like_of': properties['like-of']}),
      ...(properties['repost-of'] && {'repost_of': properties['repost-of']}),
      ...(properties['in-reply-to'] && {'in_reply_to': properties['in-reply-to']}),
      ...(properties['post-status'] === 'draft' && {draft: true}),
      ...(properties.visibility && {visibility: properties.visibility}),
      ...(properties.syndication && {syndication: properties.syndication}),
      ...(properties['mp-syndicate-to'] && {'mp_syndicate_to': properties['mp-syndicate-to']})

@jayeless Thanks for reporting. I have update the Hugo preset so that all frontmatter keys are now camelCased. I used this format as that appears to be the flavour favoured by Hugo.
