Does the Casper theme and default way AMP pages are created include support for Analytics?

Specifically, if I use the code injection at the site level in Ghost Admin, will that tracking carry over into the AMP pages or do I have to create a custom hbs file in order to track AMP data?

Analytics in AMP pages do not work with the same script that you usually use for Analytics. Accelerated Mobile Pages require a different Analytics tag.

Here are a few links that might help you understand how to set Analytics for AMP pages:

The best way to do this is to save the `amp.hbs` file:

[AMP default template](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/master/core/server/apps/amp/lib/views/amp.hbs)

Put it into your theme folder. Do the required changes and it should work.

After you do your changes be sure that everything is validated. To do this add `#development=1` to the URL of the page. You will see your errors, if you have, in Console tab. [Debugging](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/amp-analytics/#debugging).
