syna needs extended Hugo edition

[joelsherrill]

Trying to use syna-start with this version of Hugo and I think the requirement to use Hugo extended is not covered by the syna-start tutorial. It may be covered in the Syna theme documentation but I shouldn't have to dig through that for a simple getting started.

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.63.1-CE9ACEB7 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2020-01-23T20:08:20Z

I got this error trying the syna-start:

$ hugo server -D

I went through the Hugo getting started and built a one page website with the ananke theme. It works. I switch to syna and get a similar but more informative error message.

$ hugo server -D
Building sites … WARN 2020/01/25 18:10:31 .File.Dir on zero object. Wrap it in if or with: {{ with .File }}{{ .Dir }}{{ end }}
ERROR 2020/01/25 18:10:31 Transformation failed: TOCSS: failed to transform "main.scss" (text/x-scss): this feature is not available in your current Hugo version, see https://goo.gl/YMrWcn for more information

Following the goo.gl link for more information, it looks like syna assumes features from the extended version of Hugo. If this is correct, it would be appreciated it you could confirm this and then update the documentation.

Thanks for bringing this up. You are correct the extended version is necessary. This is the case for quite a bit so we probably missed mentioning this. Happy for a PR to add this to the readme from a users point of view, if you want.
