Hexo renderers

It might be necessary to goto the blog root and install a specific renderer for the template language you have chosen. Swig is built into Hexo at the current version.

# templates
npm install hexo-renderer-ejs
npm install hexo-renderer-njks
npm install hexo-render-pug

# styles
npm install hexo-renderer-stylus
npm install hexo-renderer-less
npm install hexo-renderer-sass

Thank you
