<h2 id="offline-usage">Offline Usage</h2>
<p>The theme is usable offline. No internet connection is required to load your page. This is achieved by storing all dependencies within the theme.</p>
<p>No calls to 3rd party servers, no calling home, no tracking. Privacy friendly.</p>
<h2 id="server-deployment">Server Deployment</h2>
<p>If your server deployment has no special requirements, you can skip this section and use the <a href="https://gohugo.io/content-management/urls/" rel="external" target="_self">standard Hugo options</a>.</p>
<p>For special requirements, the theme is capable of different scenarios, requiring the following mandatory settings in your <code>hugo.toml</code>. All settings not mentioned in the examples below can be set to your liking.</p>
