Configuration

Besides the predefined style values, you are able to define your own in the hugo.toml.

hugo.
[params]
  [[params.boxStyle]]
    color = 'gold'
    i18n = ''
    icon = 'rainbow'
    identifier = 'magic'
    title = 'Magic'
params:
  boxStyle:
  - color: gold
    i18n: ""
    icon: rainbow
    identifier: magic
    title: Magic
{
   "params": {
      "boxStyle": [
         {
            "color": "gold",
            "i18n": "",
            "icon": "rainbow",
            "identifier": "magic",
            "title": "Magic"
         }
      ]
   }
}

The style parameter must match the identifier. The title for the style will be determined from the title. If no title but a i18n is set, the title will be taken from the translation files by that key. The title may be empty in which case, the box does not contain a default title. icon and color are working similar.

You can also redefine the predefined styles here, if you’re not satisfied by the default settings.

Below is a usage example.
