Shortcodes

See the full list of supported shortcodes.

Syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting is provided by Prism. See this markdown code fences example.

Disable toc for a blog post

Blog posts that have two or more subheadings (<h2>s) automatically get a table of contents. To disable this set toc to false. For example:

---
title: "My page with a few headings"
toc: false
---

Localization

The strings in the templates of this theme can be localized. Make a copy of <THEME_BASE_FOLDER>/i18n/en.yaml to <YOUR_SITE_FOLDER>/i18n/<YOUR_SITE_LANGUAGE>.yaml, and translate one by one, changing the translation field.

Here is a tutorial that goes more in depth about this.

Custom CSS and JS

You can provide an optional list of custom CSS files, which must be placed inside the static dir. These will load after the theme CSS loads. So, static/css/custom_01.css translates to css/custom_01.css.

You can provide an optional list of custom JS files, which must be placed inside the static dir. These will load after the theme JS loads. So, static/js/custom_01.js translates to js/custom_01.js.

See the example site config file for sample usage.

Getting help

If you run into an issue that isn't answered by this documentation or the exampleSite, then visit the Hugo forum. The folks there are helpful and friendly. Before asking your question, be sure to read the requesting help guidelines.
