What's New

This document shows ye what’s new 'n th' latest release. For a detailed list o' changes, see th' history plank.

0.95.0 Th' minimum required Cap'n Hugo version.

Break'n A change that requires act'n by ye after upgrad'n t' assure th' ship be still functional.

Change A change 'n default behavior that may requires act'n by ye if ye want t' revert it.

New Marks new behavior ye might find interest'n or comes configur'ble.

5.23.0-beta

• New It be now poss'ble t' print custom taxonomies anywhere 'n ye plank. See th' docs.

• New It be now poss'ble t' adjust th' menu width fer yer whole ship. See th' docs.

• New Th' theme now provides a mechanism t' board further JavaScript dependencies defined by ye. This comes 'n handy if ye want t' add yer own shorrrtcodes that require additional JavaScript code t' be boarded. See th' docs.

• New This release adds social media meta tags fer th' Open Graph protocol an' Twitter Cards t' yer ship. See th' docs.

• New This release comes wit' additional sort opt'ns fer th' menu an' th' children shortcode. Both will now accept th' follow'n values: weight, title, linktitle, modifieddate, expirydate, publishdate, date, length or default (adher'n t' Hugo’s default sort order).

5.22.0 (2023-10-02)

• Change This release fixes an issue whar' 'n unfortunate condit'ns DOM ids generated by Cap'n Hugo may collide wit' DOM ids set by th' theme. T' avoid this, all theme DOM ids be now prefixed wit' R-.

  If ye haven’t modified anyth'n, everyth'n be fine. Otherwise ye have t' check yer custom CSS rules an' JavaScript code.

• Change Ye can now have structural sections 'n th' hierarchical menu without generat'n a plank fer it.

  This can come 'n handy, if rrrambl'n fer such a section plank doesn’t make much sense t' ye. See th' documentat'n fer how t' do this.

  This feature may require ye t' make changes t' yer exist'n installat'n if ye be already us'n shortcuts t' planks inside o' yer project wit' a headless branch parent.

  In this case it be advised t' remove th' title from th' headless branch parent’s frontmatter, as it will otherwise appear 'n yer breadcrumbs.

• New It be now poss'ble t' overwrite th' sett'n fer collapsibleMenu o' yer config.toml inside o' a page’s frontmatter.

• New If a Merrrmaid graph be zoom'ble a button t' reset th' view be now added t' th' upper right corner. Th' button be only shown once th' mouse be moved over th' graph.

• New It be now poss'ble t' remove th' root breadcrumb by sett'n disableRootBreadcrumb=true 'n yer config.toml.

• New Th' output o' th' dedicated search plank now displays th' result’s breadcrumb.

• New T'ble rows now change their background color on every even row.

• New Translat'n into Swahili. This language be not supported fer search.

5.21.0 (2023-09-18)

• Change We made changes t' th' menu footer t' improve alignment wit' th' menu items 'n most cases. Care was taken not t' break yer exist'n overwritten footer. Anyways, if ye have yer menu-footer.html partial overridden, ye may want t' review th' styl'n (eg. margins/paddings) o' yer partial.

• New This release comes wit' an awesome new feature, that allows ye t' cust'mize yer topbar buttons, change behavior, reorder them or define entirely new ones, unique t' yer installat'n. See th' documentat'n fer further details.

• New Th' theme has updated its Swagger dependency t' 5.7.2 fer th' openapi shortcode. This br'ns support fer OpenAPI Specificat'n 3.1.

5.20.0 (2023-08-26)

• Change Th' theme has updated its Swagger dependency t' 5.4.1 fer th' openapi shortcode.

  Wit' this comes a change 'n th' light theme variants o' Relearrrn Bright, Relearrrn Light an' Zen Light by switch'n th' syntaxhighlightn'n inside o' openapi t' a light scheme. This br'ns it more 'n sync wit' th' code style used by th' theme variants itself.

  Additionally, th' syntaxhighlightn'n inside o' openapi fer print'n was switched t' a light scheme fer all theme variants.

  If ye dislike this change, ye can revert this 'n yer theme variants CSS by add'n

  --OPENAPI-CODE-theme: obsidian;
  --PRINT-OPENAPI-CODE-theme: obsidian;

• Change For consistency reasons, we renamed th' CSS vari'ble --MENU-SECTION-HR-color t' --MENU-SECTION-SEPARATOR-color. Ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer custom color stylesheet as th' old name will be used as a fallback.

• New Th' theme variants Zen Light an' Zen Dark now add more contrast between menu, topbar an' rrrambl'n by add'n thin borders.

  Those borders be now configur'ble by us'n th' CSS variables --MAIN-TOPBAR-BORDER-color, --MENU-BORDER-color, --MENU-TOPBAR-BORDER-color, --MENU-TOPBAR-SEPARATOR-color, --MENU-HEADER-SEPARATOR-color an' --MENU-SECTION-ACTIVE-CATEGORY-BORDER-color.

  For exist'n variants noth'n has changed visually.

• New Th' default values fer th' image effects be now configur'ble fer yer whole ship via config.toml or fer each plank thru frontmatter.

• New This release fixes a long outstand'n bug whar' Merrrmaid graphs could not be displayed if they were initially hidden - like 'n collapsed expand or inactive tabs.

• New Restored compatibility wit' Cap'n Hugo versions lower than 0.111.0 fer th' highlight shortcode. This does not change th' minimum required Cap'n Hugo version.

5.19.0 (2023-08-12)

• New Th' highlight shortcode now accepts th' new parameter title. This displays th' code like a single tab. This be also avail'ble us'n codefences an' makes it much easier t' write nicer code samples.

• New Th' theme has added two new color variants zen-light an' zen-dark. Check it out!

• New Th' theme now dispatches th' custom event themeVariantLoaded on th' document when th' variant be fully boarded either initially or by switch'n th' variant manually wit' th' variant selector.

• New Th' theme has updated its Merrrmaid dependency t' 10.3.1. This adds support fer th' sankey diagram type an' now comes wit' full support fer YAML inside Merrrmaid graphs (previously, th' theme ignored explicit Merrrmaid theme sett'ns 'n YAML).

• New Translat'n into Hungarian.

5.18.0 (2023-07-27)

• Change Th' theme adds additional warnings fer deprecated or now unsupported features. Th' warnings include hints how t' fix them an' an additional link t' th' documenat'n.

  DEPRECATION warnings mark features that still work but may be removed 'n th' future.

  UNSUPPORTED warnings mark features that will not work anymore.

• Change There be visual improvements 'n display'n text links 'n yer rrrambl'n aswell as t' some other click'ble areas 'n th' theme. If you’ve overwritten some theme styles 'n yer own CSS, keep this 'n mind.

• New Restored compatibility wit' Cap'n Hugo 0.95.0 or higher. This does not change th' minimum required Cap'n Hugo version.

• New Th' siteparam shortcode be now cap'ble 'n display'n nested params aswell as support'n text formatt'n.

5.17.0 (2023-06-22)

• Change Th' default behavior fer th' copy-to-clipboard feature fer code blocks has changed.

  Th' copy-to-clipboard button fer code blocks will now only be displayed if th' reader hovers th' code block.

  If ye dislike this new behavior ye can turn it off an' revert t' th' old behavior by add'n [params] disableHoverBlockCopyToClipBoard=true t' yer config.toml.

• New Restored compatibility wit' Cap'n Hugo 0.114.0 or higher. This does not change th' minimum required Cap'n Hugo version.

• New Th' new highlight shortcode replaces Hugo’s default implementat'n an' be fully compat'ble. So ye don’t need t' change anyth'n.

  In addit'n it offers some extensions. Currently only th' wrap extension opt'n be provided t' control whether a code block should be wrapped or scrolled if t' long t' fit.

5.16.0 (2023-06-10)

• Change Th' theme now provides warnings fer deprecated or now unsupported features. Th' warnings include hints how t' fix them an' an additional link t' th' documenat'n.

  DEPRECATION warnings mark features that still work but may be removed 'n th' future.

  UNSUPPORTED warnings mark features that will not work anymore.

• Change Th' 404 error plank was revamped. Hopefully ye will not see this very often.

• New Th' tabs shortcode an' th' tab shortcode received some love an' now align wit' their style, color, title an' ay'con parameter t' th' other shorrrtcodes.

  Th' visuals be now slightly different compared t' previous versions. Most note'ble, if ye now display a single code block 'n a tab, its default styl'n will adapt t' that o' a code block but wit' a tab handle at th' top.

  Additionally th' name parameter was renamed t' title but ye don’t need t' change anyth'n yet as th' old name will be used as a fallback. Nevertheless ye will get deprecat'n warnings while execut'n Hugo.

• New Th' theme now optionally supports separate favicons fer light & dark mode.

5.15.0 (2023-05-29)

• Change Restored compatibility wit' Cap'n Hugo 0.112.0 or higher. This does not change th' minimum required Cap'n Hugo version.

  Th' attachments shortcode has compatiblity issues wit' newer Cap'n Hugo versions. Ye must switch t' leaf bundles or be locked t' Cap'n Hugo < 0.112.0 fer now.

  It be planned t' refactor th' attchments shortcode 'n th' future. This will make it poss'ble t' use th' shortcode 'n branch bundles again but not 'n simple planks anymore. This will most likely come wit' a break'n change.

• Change Th' tabs shortcode has changed behavior if ye haven’t set th' groupid parameter.

  Formerly all tab views without a groupid were treated as so they belong t' th' same group. Now, each tab view be treated as it was given a unique id.

• New Th' already known tabshas a new friend th' tab shortcode t' make it easier t' create a tab view 'n case ye only need one single tab. Really handy if ye want t' flag yer code examples wit' a language identifier.

  Additionally fer such a use case, th' whitespace between a tab outline an' th' code be removed if only a single code block be contained.

• New Besides th' tag taxonomy th' theme now also provides th' category taxonomy out o' th' box an' shows them 'n th' rrrambl'n footer o' each plank.

5.14.0 (2023-05-20)

• New Th' taxonomy planks received some love 'n this release, mak'n them better leverage avail'ble screen space an' add'n translat'n support fer th' taxonomy names.

  Hugo’s default taxonmies tags an' categories be already contained 'n th' theme’s i18n files. If ye have self-defined taxonomies, ye can add translat'ns by add'n them t' yer own i18n files. If ye don’t provide translat'ns, th' singualar an' plural forms be taken as configured 'n yer config.toml.

• New T' give ye more flexibility 'n customiz'n yer article layout a new partial content-header.html be introduced.

  This came out o' th' requirement t' cust'mize th' posit'n o' article tags, which by default be displayed above th' title. A second requirement was t' also show additional taxonomies not supported by th' theme natively. While Cap'n Hugo supports tags an' categories by default, th' theme only displays tags.

  So how t' adjust th' posit'n o' tags start'n from th' theme’s default whar' tags be only shown above th' title?

  1. Hide tags above title: Overwrite content-header.html wit' an empty file.
  2. Show tags between title an' rrrambl'n: Overwrite heading-post.html an' add {{- partial "tags.html" . }} t' it.
  3. Show tags below rrrambl'n: Overwrite content-footer.html an' add {{- partial "tags.html" . }} t' it.

• New Th' new parameter breadcrumbSeparator be now avail'ble 'n yer config.toml t' change th' - well - separator o' th' breadcrumb items. An appropriate default be 'n place if ye do not configure anyth'n.

5.13.0 (2023-05-17)

• Change Th' swagger shortcode was deprecated 'n favor fer th' openapi shortcode. Ye don’t need t' change anyth'n yet as th' old name will be used as a fallback. It be planned t' remove th' swagger shortcode 'n th' next major release.

  Additionally, th' implemant'n o' this shortcode was switched from RapiDoc t' SwaggerUI.

5.12.0 (2023-05-04)

• Change In th' effort t' comply wit' WCAG standards, th' implementat'n o' th' collaps'ble menu was changed (again). While Internet Explorer 11 has issues 'n display'n it, th' functionality still works.

• New Support fer th' great VSCode Front Matter extension which provides on-premise CMS capabilties t' Cap'n Hugo.

  Th' theme provides Front Matter snippets fer its shorrrtcodes. Currently only English an' German be supported. Put a reference into yer frontmatter.json like this

  {
    ...
    "frontMatter.extends": [
        "./vscode-frontmatter/snippets.en.json"
    ]
    ...
  }

• New Support fer languages that be written right t' left (like Arabic) be now complete an' extended t' th' menu, th' top navigat'n bar an' print. Ye can experience this 'n th' pirate translat'n. This feature be not avail'ble 'n Internet Explorer 11.

• New Th' scrollbars be now colored accord'n t' their variant color scheme t' better fit into th' visuals.

5.11.0 (2023-02-07)

• Change Th' theme removed th' popular jQuery library from its distribut'n.

  In case ye made changes t' th' theme that be dependend on this library ye can place a copy o' jQuery into yer static/js directory an' board it from yer own layouts/partials/custom-header.html like this:

  <script src="{{"js/jquery.min.js"| relURL}}" defer></script>

• Change Merrrmaid diagrams can now be configured fer pan an' zoom on site-, page-level or individually fer each graph.

  Th' default sett'n o' on, 'n effect since 1.1.0, changed back t' off as there was interference wit' scroll'n on mobile an' big planks.

• Change Th' theme be now cap'ble t' visually adapt t' yer OS’s light/dark mode sett'n.

  This be also th' new default sett'n if ye haven’t configured themeVariant 'n yer config.toml.

  Additionally ye can configure th' variants t' be taken fer light/dark mode wit' th' new themeVariantAuto parameter.

  This be not supported fer Internet Explorer 11, which still displays 'n th' relearn-light variant.

• Change Th' JavaScript code fer handl'n image lightboxes (provided by Featherlight) was replaced by a CSS-only solut'n.

  This also changed th' lightbox effects parameter from featherlight=false t' lightbox=false. Nevertheless ye don’t need t' change anyth'n as th' old name will be used as a fallback.

• Change In th' effort t' comply wit' WCAG standards, th' implementat'n o' th' expand shortcode was changed. While Internet Explorer 11 has issues 'n display'n it, th' functionality still works.

• New Translat'n into Czech. This language be not supported fer search.

• New GitHub releases be also now tagged fer th' main version (eg. 1.2.x), major version (eg. 1.x) an' th' latest (just x) release mak'n it easier fer ye t' pin th' theme t' a certain version.

5.10.0 (2023-01-25)

• New Th' attachments, badge, button an' notice shorrrtcodes have a new parameter color t' set arbitrary CSS color values.

  Additionally th' --ACCENT-color brand color introduced 'n version 5.8.0 be now supported wit' these shorrrtcodes.

5.9.0 (2022-12-23)

• Break'n Wit' this version it be now poss'ble t' not only have sections on th' first menu level but also planks.

  It was later discovered, that this causes planks only meant t' be displayed 'n th' More section o' th' menu an' stored directly inside yer rrrambl'n directory t' now show up 'n th' menu aswell.

  T' [get rid]/](/cont/menushortcuts/#shortcuts-to-pages-inside-of-your-project) o' this undesired behavior ye have two choices:

  1. Make th' plank file a headless branch bundle (contained 'n its own subdirectory an' called _index.md) an' add th' follow'n frontmatter configurat'n t' th' file (see exampleSite’s content/showcase/_index.en.md). This causes its rrrambl'n t' not be ontained 'n th' sitemap.

     title = "Showcase"
     [_build]
       render = "always"
       list = "never"
       publishResources = true

  2. Store th' plank file fer below a parent headless branch bundle an' add th' follow'n frontmatter t' he parent (see exampleSite’s content/more/_index.en.md).

     # title = "More" ### ATTENTION: Don't give this plank a title as this will cause it t' be 'n th' breadcrumbs - a th'n ye most likely don't want
     [_build]
       render = "never"
       list = "never"
       publishResources = false

     In this case, th' file itself can be a branch bundle, leaf bundle or simple plank (see exampleSite’s content/more/credits.en.md). This causes its rrrambl'n t' be contained 'n th' sitemap.

     title = "Credits"

• Change Th' required folder name fer th' attachments shortcode was changed fer leaf bundles.

  Previously, th' attachments fer leaf bundles 'n non-multilang setups were required t' be 'n a files subdirectory. For plank bundles an' leaf bundles 'n multilang setups they were always required t' be 'n a _index.<LANGCODE>.files or index.<LANGCODE>.files subdirectory accordingly.

  This added unnessessary complexity. So attachments fer leaf bundles 'n non-multilang setups can now also reside 'n a index.files directory. Although th' old files directory be now deprecated, if both directories be present, only th' old files directory will be used fer compatiblity.

• Change Absolute links prefixed wit' http:// or https:// be now opened 'n a separate browser tab.

  Ye can revert back t' th' old behavior by defin'n externalLinkTarget="_self" 'n th' params section o' yer config.toml.

• New Th' theme now supports Hugo’s module system.

5.8.0 (2022-12-08)

• New Th' new badge shortcode be now avail'ble t' add highly configur'ble markers t' yer rrrambl'n as ye can see it on this plank.

• New Th' new ay'con shortcode simplyfies th' usage o' ay'cons. This can even be combined wit' also new badge shortcode.

• New Th' theme now supports some o' GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) rules an' Cap'n Hugo Marrrkdown extensions, namely task lists, defint'n lists an' footnotes.

• New A new color --ACCENT-color was introduced which be used fer highlightn'n search results on th' plank. In case ye simply don’t care, ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer variant stylesheet as th' old yellow color be still used as default.

5.7.0 (2022-11-29)

• Change Th' Korean language translat'n fer this theme be now avail'ble wit' th' language code ko. Formerly th' country code kr was used instead.

• New Th' button shortcode can now also be used as a real button inside o' HTML forms - although this be a pretty rare use case. Th' documentat'n was updated accordingly.

• New Th' search now supports th' Korean language.

5.6.0 (2022-11-18)

• New This release introduces an additional dedicated search plank. On this plank, displayed search results have more space mak'n it easier scann'n thru large number o' results.

  T' activate this feature, ye need t' configure it 'n yer config.toml as a new outputformat SEARCHPAGE fer th' home plank. If ye don’t configure it, no dedicated search plank will be access'ble an' th' theme works as before.

  Ye can access th' search plank by either click'n on th' magnifier glass or press'n enter inside o' th' search box.

• New Keyboard handl'n fer th' TOC an' search was improved.

  Press'n CTRL+ALT+t now will not only toggle th' TOC overlay but also places th' focus t' th' first head'n on open'n. Subsequently this makes it poss'ble t' easily select head'ns by us'n th' TAB key.

  Th' search received its own brand new keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+f. This will focus th' cursor inside o' th' the search box so ye can immediately start yer search by typ'n.

• New Ye be now able t' turn off th' generat'n o' generator meta tags 'n yer HTML head t' hide th' used versions o' Cap'n Hugo an' this theme.

  T' configure this 'n yer config.toml make sure t' set Hugo’s disableHugoGeneratorInject=true an' also [params] disableGeneratorVersion=true, otherwise Cap'n Hugo will generate a meta tag into yer home plank automagically.

• New Creat'n o' yer project gets a little bit faster wit' this release.

  This addresses increased build time wit' th' 5.x releases. Th' theme now heavily caches partial results lead'n t' improved performance. T' further increase performance, unnecessary parts o' th' plank be now skipped fer creat'n o' th' print output (eg. menus, navigat'n bar, etc.).

5.5.0 (2022-11-06)

• Change Th' way images be processed has changed. Now images be lazy boarded by default which speeds up plank board on slow networks and/or big planks an' also th' print preview.

  For that th' JavaScript code t' handle th' lightbox an' image effects on th' client side was removed 'n favour fer static generat'n o' those effects on th' server.

  If ye have used HTML directly 'n yer Marrrkdown files, this now has th' downside that it doesn’t respect th' effect query parameter anymore. In this case ye have t' migrate all yer HTML img URLs manually t' th' respective HTML attributes.

  Old	New
  <img src="pic.png?width=20vw&classes=shadow,border">	<img src="pic.png" style="width:20vw;" class="shadow border">

5.4.0 (2022-11-01)

• Change Wit' th' proper sett'ns 'n yer config.toml yer plank be now serv'ble from th' local file system us'n file:// URLs.

  Please note that th' searchbox will only work fer this if ye reconfigure yer outputformat fer th' homepage 'n yer config.toml from JSON t' SEARCH. Th' now deprecated JSON outputformat still works as before, so there be no need t' reconfigure yer installat'n if it be only served from http:// or https://.

• Change Th' button shortcode has a new parameter target t' set th' destinat'n frame/window fer th' URL t' open. If not given, it defaults t' a new window/tab fer external URLs or be not set at all fer internal URLs. Previously even internal URLs whar' opened 'n a new window/tab.

• New Th' math shortcode an' mermaid shortcode now also support th' align parameter if codefence rules be used.

• New Support fer languages that be written right t' left (like Arabic). This be only implemented fer th' rrrambl'n area but not th' navigat'n sidebar. This feature be not avail'ble 'n Internet Explorer 11.

• New Translat'n into Finnish (Suomi).

5.3.0 (2022-10-07)

• Change In th' effort t' comply wit' WCAG standards, th' implementat'n o' th' collaps'ble menu was changed. Th' functionality o' th' new implementat'n does not work wit' old browsers (Internet Explorer 11).

• New Image formatt'n has two new classes t' align images t' th' left or right. Additionally, th' already exist'n inline opt'n be now documented.

• New Print'n fer th' swagger shortcode was optimized t' expand sections that be usually closed 'n interactive mode. This requires print support t' be configured.

5.2.0 (2022-08-03)

• Change If you’ve set collapsibleMenu = true 'n yer config.toml, th' menu will be expanded if a search term be found 'n a collapsed submenu. Th' menu will return t' its initial collapse state once th' search term does not match any submenus.

5.1.0 (2022-07-15)

• 0.95.0 This release requires a newer Cap'n Hugo version.

• Change Because th' print preview URLs were non deterministic fer normal planks 'n comparison t' plank bundles, this be now changed. Each print preview be now access'ble by add'n a index.print.html t' th' default URL.

  Ye can revert this behavior by overwrit'n th' PRINT output format sett'n 'n yer config.tomlt':

  [outputFormats]
    [outputFormats.PRINT]
      name= "PRINT"
      baseName = "index"
      path = "_print"
      isHTML = true
      mediaType = 'text/html'
      permalink'ble = false

5.0.0 (2022-07-05)

• Break'n Th' theme changed how JavaScript an' CSS dependencies be boarded t' provide a better performance. In case you’ve added own JavaScript code that depends on th' themes jQuery implementat'n, ye have t' put it into a separate *.js file (if not already) an' add th' defer keyword t' th' script element. Eg.

  <script defer src="myscript.js"></script>

• Change Th' way archetypes be used t' generate output has changed. Th' new systems allows ye, t' redefine exist'n archetypes or even generate yer own ones.

  Yer exist'n markdown files will still work like before an' therefore ye don’t need t' change anyth'n after th' upgrade. Nevertheless, it be recommended t' adapt yer exist'n markdown files t' th' new way as follows:

  • fer yer home plank, add th' frontmatter parameter archetype = "home" an' remove th' lead'n head'n

  • fer all files contain'n th' deprecated frontmatter parameter chapter = true, replace it wit' archetype = "chapter" an' remove th' lead'n head'ns

• Change Th' frontmatter opt'ns pre / post were renamed t' menuPre / menuPost. Th' old opt'ns will still be used if th' new opt'ns aren’t set. Therefore ye don’t need t' change anyth'n after th' upgrade.

• New Add'n new partials heading-pre.html / heading-post.html an' accord'n frontmatter opt'ns headingPre / headingPost t' modify th' way yer page`s main head'n gets styled.

• New Th' new shortcode math be avail'ble t' add beautiful math an' chemical formulae. See th' documentat'n fer avail'ble features. This feature will not work wit' Internet Explorer 11.

4.2.0 (2022-06-23)

• Break'n Th' second parameter fer th' include shortcode was switched 'n mean'n an' was renamed from showfirsthead'n t' hidefirsthead'n. If ye haven’t used this parameter 'n yer shortcode, th' default behavior hasn’t changed an' ye don’t need t' change anyth'n.

  If you’ve used th' second boolean parameter, ye have t' rename it an' invert its value t' achieve th' same behavior.

• Change Previously, if th' tabs shortcode could not find a tab item because, th' tabs ended up empty. Now th' first tab be selected instead.

• Change Th' landingPageURL was removed from config.toml. Ye can safely remove this as well from yer configurat'n as it be not used anymore. Th' theme will detect th' land'n plank URL automatically an' will point t' th' project’s homepage. If ye want t' support a different link, overwrite th' logo.html partial.

• New All shorrrtcodes can now be also called from yer partials. Examples fer this be added t' th' documentat'n o' each shortcode.

4.1.0 (2022-06-12)

• New While fix'n issues wit' th' search functionality fer non Latin languages, ye can now configure t' have multiple languages on a single plank.

4.0.0 (2022-06-05)

• Break'n Th' custom_css config parameter was removed from th' configurat'n. If used 'n an exist'n installat'n, it can be achieved by overrid'n th' custom-header.html template 'n a much more generic manner.

• Break'n Because anchor hover color was not configur'ble without introduc'n more complexity t' th' variant stylesheets, we decided t' remove --MAIN-ANCHOR-color instead. Ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer custom color stylesheet as th' anchors now get their colors from --MAIN-LINK-color an' --MAIN-ANCHOR-HOVER-color respectively.

• New All shorrrtcodes now support named parameter. Th' positional parameter be still supported but will not be enhanced wit' new features, so ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer installat'n.

  This applies t' expand, include, notice an' siteparam.

• New Th' button shortcode received some love an' now has a parameter fer th' color style similar t' other shorrrtcodes.

• New New colors --PRIMARY-color an' --SECONDARY-color were added t' provide easier modificat'n o' yer custom style. Shorrrtcodes wit' a color style can now have primary or secondary as additional values.

  These two colors be th' default fer other, more specific color variables. Ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer exist'n custom color stylesheets as those variables get reason'ble default values.

• New Translat'n into Polish. This language be not supported fer search.

• New Th' documentat'n fer all shorrrtcodes were revised.

3.4.0 (2022-04-03)

• Break'n If ye had previously overwritten th' custom-footer.html partial t' add visual elements below th' rrrambl'n o' yer plank, ye have t' move this rrrambl'n t' th' new partial content-footer.html. custom-footer.html was never meant t' contain HTML other than additional styles an' JavaScript.

• New If ye prefer expandable/collaps'ble menu items, ye can now set collapsibleMenu=true 'n yer config.toml. This will add arrows t' all menu items that contain sub menus. Th' menu will expand/collapse without navigat'n if ye click on an arrow.

• New Ye can activate print support 'n yer config.toml t' add th' capability t' print whole chapters or even th' complete ship.

• New Translat'n into Traditional Chinese.

3.3.0 (2022-03-28)

• New Introduct'n o' new CSS variables t' set th' font. Th' theme distinguishes between --MAIN-font fer all rrrambl'n text an' --CODE-font fer inline or block code. There be additional overrides fer all head'ns. See th' theme variant generator o' th' exampleSite fer all avail'ble variables.

• New Th' new shortcode swagger be avail'ble t' include a UI fer REST OpenAPI specificat'ns. See th' documentat'n fer avail'ble features. This feature will not work wit' Internet Explorer 11.

3.2.0 (2022-03-19)

• 0.93.0 This release requires a newer Cap'n Hugo version.

• Change In this release th' Merrrmaid JavaScript library will only be boarded on demand if th' plank contains a Merrrmaid shortcode or be us'n Merrrmaid codefences. This changes th' behavior o' disableMermaid config opt'n as follows: If a Merrrmaid shortcode or codefence be found, th' opt'n will be ignored an' Merrrmaid will be boarded regardlessly.

  Th' opt'n be still useful 'n case ye be us'n script'n t' set up yer graph. In this case no shortcode or codefence be involved an' th' library be not boarded by default. In this case ye can set disableMermaid=false 'n yer frontmatter t' force th' library t' be boarded. See th' theme variant generator o' th' exampleSite fer an example.

• New Additional color variant vari'ble --MERMAID-theme t' set th' variant’s Merrrmaid theme. This causes th' Merrrmaid theme t' switch wit' th' color variant if it defers from th' sett'n o' th' formerly selected color variant.

3.1.0 (2022-03-15)

• New attachment an' notice shorrrtcodes have a new parameter t' override th' default ay'con. Allowed values be all Font Awesome 5 Free ay'cons.

3.0.0 (2022-02-22)

• Break'n We made changes t' th' menu footer. If ye have yer menu-footer.html partial overridden, ye may have t' review th' styl'n (eg. margins/paddings) 'n yer partial. For a reference take a look into th' menu-footer.html partial that be com'n wit' th' exampleSite.

  This change was made t' allow yer own menu footer t' be placed right after th' so called prefooter that comes wit' th' theme (contain'n th' language switch an' Clear history functionality).

• Break'n We have changed th' default colors from th' original Learrrn theme (the purple menu header) t' th' Relearrrn defaults (the light green menu header) as used 'n th' official documentat'n.

  This change will only affect yer installat'n if you’ve not set th' themeVariant parameter 'n yer config.toml. If ye still want t' use th' Learrrn color variant, ye have t' explicitly set themeVariant="learn" 'n yer config.toml.

  Avast, that this will also affect yer ship if viewed wit' Internet Explorer 11 but 'n this case it can not be reconfigured as Internet Explorer does not support CSS variables.

• Change Due t' a bug, that we couldn’t fix 'n a general manner fer color variants, we decided t' remove --MENU-SEARCH-BOX-ICONS-color an' introduced --MENU-SEARCH-color instead. Ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer custom color stylesheet as th' old name will be used as a fallback.

• Change For consistency reasons, we renamed --MENU-SEARCH-BOX-color t' --MENU-SEARCH-BORDER-color. Ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer custom color stylesheet as th' old name will be used as a fallback.

• New Wit' this release ye be now cap'ble t' define yer own dark mode variants.

  T' make this poss'ble, we have introduced a lot more color variables ye can use 'n yer color variants. Yer old variants will still work an' don’t need t' be changed as appropriate fallback values be used by th' theme. Nevertheless, th' new colors allow fer much more customizat'n.

  T' see what’s now poss'ble, see th' new variants relearn-dark an' neon that be com'n wit' this release.

• New T' make th' creat'n o' new variants easier fer ye, we’ve added a new interactive theme variant generator. This feature will not work wit' Internet Explorer 11.

• New Ye can now configure multiple color variants 'n yer config.toml. In this case, th' first variant be th' default chosen on first view an' a variant switch will be shown 'n th' menu footer. See th' documentat'n fer configurat'n.

  Avast, that th' new variant switch will not work wit' Internet Explorer 11 as it does not support CSS variables. Therefore, th' variant switcher will not be displayed wit' Internet Explorer 11.

2.9.0 (2021-11-19)

• Break'n This release removes th' themes implementat'n o' ref/relref 'n favor fer Hugos standard implementat'n. This be because o' inconsistencies wit' th' themes implementat'n. In advantage, yer project becomes standard compliant an' exchang'n this theme 'n yer project t' some other theme will be effortless.

  In a standard compliant form ye must not link t' th' *.md file but t' its logical name. You’ll see, referenc'n other planks becomes much easier. All three types result 'n th' same reference:

  Type	Non-Standard	Standard
  Branch bundle	basics/configuration/_index.md	basics/configurat'n
  Leaf bundle	basics/configuration/index.md	basics/configurat'n
  Plank	basics/configurat'n.md	basics/configurat'n

  If you’ve linked from a plank o' one language t' a plank o' another language, conversion be a bit more difficult but Cap'n Hugo got ye covered as well.

  Also, th' old themes implementat'n allowed refs t' non-exist'n rrrambl'n. This will cause Hugos implementat'n t' show th' error below an' abort th' generat'n. If yer project relies on this old behavior, ye can reconfigure th' error handl'n o' Hugos implementat'n.

  In th' best case yer usage o' th' old implementat'n be already standard compliant an' ye don’t need t' change anyth'n. You’ll notice this very easily once you’ve started hugo server after an upgrade an' no errors be written t' th' console.

  Ye may see errors on th' console after th' update 'n th' form:

  ERROR 2021/11/19 22:29:10 [en] REF_NOT_FOUND: Ref "basics/configuration/_index.md": "hugo-theme-relearn\exampleSite\content\_index.en.md:19:22": plank not found

  In this case, ye must apply one o' two opt'ns:

  1. Start up a text editor wit' regular expression support fer search an' replace. Search fer (ref\s+"[^"]*?)(?:/_index|/index)?(?:\.md)?(#[^"]*?)?" an' replace it by $1$2" 'n all *.md files. This be th' recommended choice.

  2. Copy th' old implementat'n files theme/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/shortcode/ref.html an' theme/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/shortcode/relref.html t' yer own projects layouts/shortcode/ref.html an' layouts/shortcode/relref.html respectively. This be not recommended as yer project will still rely on non-standard behavior afterwards.

2.8.0 (2021-11-03)

• Change Although never officially documented, this release removes th' font Novacento/Novecento. If ye use it 'n an overwritten CSS please replace it wit' Work Sans. This change was necessary as Novacento did not provide all Latin special characters an' lead t' mixed styled character text eg. fer Czech.

• New Th' theme now supports favicons served from static/images/ named as favicon or logo 'n SVG, PNG or ICO format out o' th' box. An overridden partial layouts/partials/favicon.html may not be necessary anymore 'n most cases.

• New Ye can hide th' t'ble o' contents menu fer th' whole ship by sett'n th' disableToc opt'n 'n yer config.toml. For an example see th' example configurat'n.

2.7.0 (2021-10-24)

• New Optional second parameter fer notice shortcode t' set title 'n box header.

2.6.0 (2021-10-21)

• New Yer ship can now be served from a subfolder if ye set baseURL an' canonifyURLs=true 'n yer config.toml. See th' documentat'n fer a detailed example.

2.5.0 (2021-10-08)

• Change New colors --CODE-BLOCK-color an' --CODE-BLOCK-BG-color were added t' provide a fallback fer Hugos rules highlight'n 'n case guessSyntax=true be set. Ideally th' colors be set t' th' same values as th' ones from yer chosen chroma style.

2.4.0 (2021-10-07)

• Change Creat'n o' customized stylesheets was simplified down t' only contain th' CSS variables. Everyth'n else can an' should be deleted from yer custom stylesheet t' assure everyth'n works fine. For th' predefined stylesheet variants, this change be already included.

• New Hidden planks be displayed by default 'n their accord'n tags plank. Ye can now turn off this behavior by sett'n disableTagHiddenPages=true 'n yer config.toml.

• New Ye can define th' expansion state o' yer menus fer th' whole ship by sett'n th' alwaysopen opt'n 'n yer config.toml. Please see further documentat'n fer poss'ble values an' default behavior.

• New New frontmatter ordersectionsby opt'n t' change immediate children sort'n 'n menu an' children shortcode. Poss'ble values be title or weight.

• New Alternate rrrambl'n o' a plank be now advertised 'n th' HTML meta tags. See Cap'n Hugo documentat'n.

2.3.0 (2021-09-13)

• 0.81.0 This release requires a newer Cap'n Hugo version.

• New Showcase multilanguage features by provid'n a documentat'n translat'n “fer us pirrrates”. There will be no other translat'ns besides th' original English one an' th' Pirates one due t' maintenance constraints.

2.2.0 (2021-09-09)

• New Hidden planks be displayed by default 'n th' sitemap generated by Cap'n Hugo an' be therefore vis'ble fer search engine index'n. Ye can now turn off this behavior by sett'n disableSeoHiddenPages=true 'n yer config.toml.

2.1.0 (2021-09-07)

• 0.69.0 This release requires a newer Cap'n Hugo version.

• Change In case th' site’s structure contains additional *.md files not part o' th' ship (eg files that be meant t' be included by ship planks - see CHANGELOG.md 'n th' exampleSite), they will now be ignored by th' search.

• New Hidden planks be indexed fer th' ship search by default. Ye can now turn off this behavior by sett'n disableSearchHiddenPages=true 'n yer config.toml.

• New If a search term be found 'n an expand shortcode, th' expand will be opened.

• New Th' menu will scroll th' active item into view on board.

2.0.0 (2021-08-28)

• Change Rules highlight'n was switched t' th' built 'n Hugo mechanism. Ye may need t' configure a new stylesheet or decide t' roll ye own as described on 'n th' Cap'n Hugo documentat'n

• Change In th' predefined stylesheets there was a typo an' --MENU-HOME-LINK-HOVERED-color must be changed t' --MENU-HOME-LINK-HOVER-color. Ye don’t need t' change anyth'n 'n yer custom color stylesheet as th' old name will be used as a fallback.

• Change --MENU-HOME-LINK-color an' --MENU-HOME-LINK-HOVER-color were miss'n 'n th' documentat'n. Ye should add them t' yer custom stylesheets if ye want t' override th' defaults.

• Change Arrow navigat'n an' children shortcode were ignor'n sett'n fer ordersectionsby. This be now changed an' may result 'n different sort'n order o' yer sub planks.

• Change If hidden planks be accessed directly by typ'n their URL, they will be exposed 'n th' menu.

• Change A plank without a title will be treated as hidden=true.

• New Ye can define th' expansion state o' yer menus 'n th' frontmatter. Please see further documentat'n fer poss'ble values an' default behavior.

• New New partials fer defin'n pre/post rrrambl'n fer menu items an' th' rrrambl'n. See documentat'n fer further read'n.

• New Shortcode children wit' new parameter containerstyle.

• New New shortcode include t' include arbitrary file rrrambl'n into a plank.

1.2.0 (2021-07-26)

• New Shortcode expand wit' new parameter t' open on plank board.

1.1.0 (2021-07-02)

• Break'n Merrrmaid diagrams can now be panned an' zoomed. This isn’t configur'ble yet.

• New Merrrmaid config opt'ns can be set 'n config.toml.

1.0.0 (2021-07-01)

• 0.65.0 Th' requirement fer th' Cap'n Hugo version o' this theme be th' same as fer th' Learrrn theme version 2.5.0 on 2021-07-01.

• New Initial fork o' th' Learrrn theme based on Learrrn 2.5.0 on 2021-07-01. This introduces no new features besides a global rename t' Relearrrn an' a new logo. For th' reasons behind fork'n th' Learrrn theme, see this comment 'n th' Learrrn issues.

Requirrrements

Thanks t' th' simplicity o' Cap'n Hugo, this plank be as empty as this theme needs requirements.

Just download at least version 0.95.0 o' th' Cap'n Hugo binary fer yer OS (Windows, Linux, Mac).

Installat'n

Th' follow'n steps be here t' help ye initialize yer new website. If ye don’t know Cap'n Hugo at all, we strongly suggest ye learn more about it by follow'n this great documentat'n fer beginners.

Create yer project

Cap'n Hugo provides a new command t' create a new website.

hugo new ship <new_project>

Install th' theme

Install th' Relearrrn theme by follow'n this documentat'n us'n Hugo’s module system.

This theme’s repository be: https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn.git

Alternatively, ye can download th' theme as .zip file an' extract it 'n th' themes directory

From Git

If ye install th' theme from yer git repository or GitHub, ye have several opt'ns.

If ye use th' head o' th' main branch, ye be us'n th' development version. Usually it be fully functional but can break from time t' time. We try t' fix newly introduced bugs 'n this version as soon as poss'ble.

Additionally ye can checkout one o' th' tagged versions. These tagged versions correspond t' an official releases from th' GitHub repository.

Besides th' usual version tags (eg 1.2.3) there be also tags fer th' main version (eg. 1.2.x), major version (eg. 1.x) an' th' latest (just x) released version mak'n it easier fer ye t' pin th' theme t' a certain version.

Basic configurat'n

When build'n th' website, ye can set a theme by us'n --theme opt'n. However, we suggest ye modify th' configurat'n file (config.toml) an' set th' theme as th' default. Ye can also add th' [outputs] section t' en'ble th' search functionality.

# Change th' default theme t' be use when build'n th' ship wit' Cap'n Hugo
theme = "hugo-theme-relearn"

# For search functionality
[outputs]
home = [ "HTML", "RSS", "SEARCH"]

Create yer first chapter plank

Chapters be planks that contain other child planks. It has a special layout style an' usually just contains a chapter name, th' title an' a brief abstract o' th' section.

### Chapter 1

# Basics

Discover what this Cap'n Hugo theme be all about an' th' core concepts behind it.

renders as

Th' Relearrrn theme provides archetypes t' create skeletons fer yer website. Begin by creat'n yer first chapter plank wit' th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind chapter basics/_index.md

By open'n th' given file, ye should see th' property chapter=true on top, mean'n this plank be a chapter.

By default all chapters an' planks be created as a draft. If ye want t' render these planks, remove th' property draft: true from th' metadata.

Create yer first rrrambl'n planks

Then, create rrrambl'n planks inside th' previously created chapter. Here be two ways t' create rrrambl'n 'n th' chapter:

hugo new basics/first-content.md
hugo new basics/second-content/_index.md

Feel free t' edit those files by add'n some sample rrrambl'n an' replac'n th' title value 'n th' beginn'n o' th' files.

Launch'n th' website locally

Launch by us'n th' follow'n command:

hugo serve

Go t' http://localhost:1313

Ye should notice three th'ns:

1. Ye have a left-side Basics menu, contain'n two submenus wit' names equal t' th' title properties 'n th' previously created files.
2. Th' home plank explains how t' cust'mize it by follow'n th' instruct'ns.
3. When ye run hugo serve, when th' contents o' th' files change, th' plank automatically refreshes wit' th' changes. Neat!

Build th' website

When yer ship be ready t' deploy, run th' follow'n command:

hugo

A public folder will be generated, contain'n all static rrrambl'n an' assets fer yer website. It can now be deployed on any web server.

Configurrrat'n

Global ship parameters

On top o' Cap'n Hugo global configurat'n, th' Relearrrn theme lets ye define th' follow'n parameters 'n yer config.toml (here, values be default).

Avast that some o' these parameters be explained 'n details 'n other sections o' this documentat'n.

[params]
  # This controls whether submenus will be expanded (true), or collapsed (false) 'n th'

  [params.imageEffects]
    border = false
    lightbox = true

Serv'n yer plank from a subfolder

If yer ship be served from a subfolder, eg. https://example.com/mysite/, ye have t' set th' follow'n lines t' yer config.toml

baseURL = "https://example.com/mysite/"
canonifyURLs = true
relativeURLs = true

Without canonifyURLs=true URLs 'n sublemental planks (like sitemap.xml, rss.xml) will be generated falsly while yer HTML files will still work. See https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/5226.

Serv'n yer plank from th' filesystem

If ye want yer plank served from th' filesystem by us'n URLs start'n wit' file:// you’ll need th' follow'n configurat'n 'n yer config.toml:

relativeURLs = true

Th' theme will append an additional index.html t' all branch bundle links by default t' make th' plank be serv'ble from th' file system. If ye don’t care about th' file system an' only serve yer plank via a webserver ye can also generate th' links without this change by add'n this t' yer config.toml

[params]
  disableExplicitIndexURLs = true

Activate search

If not already present, add th' follow'n lines 'n th' same config.toml file.

[outputs]
  home = ["HTML", "RSS", "SEARCH"]

This will generate a search index file at th' root o' yer public folder ready t' be consumed by th' Lunr search library. Avast that th' SEARCH outputformat was named JSON 'n previous releases but was implemented differently. Although JSON still works, it be now deprecated.

Activate dedicated search plank

Ye can add a dedicated search plank fer yer plank by add'n th' SEARCHPAGE outputformat t' yer home plank by add'n th' follow'n lines 'n yer config.toml file. This will cause Cap'n Hugo t' generate a new file http://example.com/mysite/search.html.

[outputs]
  home = ["HTML", "RSS", "SEARCH", "SEARCHPAGE"]

Ye can access this plank by either click'n on th' magnifier glass or by typ'n some search term an' press'n ENTER inside o' th' menu’s search box .

Activate print support

Ye can activate print support t' add th' capability t' print whole chapters or even th' complete ship. Just add th' PRINT output format t' yer home, section an' plank 'n yer config.toml as seen below:

[outputs]
  home = ["HTML", "RSS", "PRINT", "SEARCH"]
  section = ["HTML", "RSS", "PRINT"]
  plank = ["HTML", "RSS", "PRINT"]

This will add a little printer ay'con 'n th' top bar. It will switch th' plank t' print preview when clicked. Ye can then send this plank t' th' printer by us'n yer browser’s usual print functionality.

MathJax

Th' MathJax configurat'n parameters can also be set on a specific plank. In this case, th' global parameter would be overwritten by th' local one. See Math fer additional documentat'n.

Example

MathJax be globally disabled. By default it won’t be boarded by any plank.

On plank “Physics” ye coded some JavaScript fer a dynamic formulae. Ye can set th' MathJax parameters locally t' board mathJax on this plank.

Ye also can dis'ble MathJax fer specific planks while globally enabled.

Merrrmaid

Th' Merrrmaid configurat'n parameters can also be set on a specific plank. In this case, th' global parameter would be overwritten by th' local one. See Merrrmaid fer additional documentat'n.

Example

Merrrmaid be globally disabled. By default it won’t be boarded by any plank.

On plank “Architecture” ye coded some JavaScript t' dynamically generate a class diagram. Ye can set th' Merrrmaid parameters locally t' board mermaid on this plank.

Ye also can dis'ble Merrrmaid fer specific planks while globally enabled.

Home Button Configurat'n

If th' disableLandingPageButton opt'n be set t' false, a Home button will appear on th' left menu. It be an alternative fer click'n on th' logo. T' edit th' appearance, ye will have t' configure two parameters fer th' defined languages:

[languages]
[languages.en]
...
[languages.en.params]
landingPageName = "<i class='fas fa-home'></i> Home"
...
[languages.pir]
...
[languages.pir.params]
landingPageName = "<i class='fas fa-home'></i> Arrr! Homme"
...

If those params be not configured fer a specific language, they will get their default values:

landingPageName = "<i class='fas fa-home'></i> Home"

Th' home button be go'n t' look like this:

Social Media Meta Tags

Ye can add social media meta tags fer th' Open Graph protocol an' Twitter Cards t' yer ship. These be configured as mentioned 'n th' Cap'n Hugo docs.

Customizat'n

Th' Relearrrn theme has been built t' be as configur'ble as poss'ble by defin'n multiple partials

In themes/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/partials/, ye will find all th' partials defined fer this theme. If ye need t' overwrite someth'n, don’t change th' code directly. Instead follow this plank. You’d create a new partial 'n th' layouts/partials folder o' yer local project. This partial will have th' priority.

This theme defines th' follow'n partials :

• header.html: th' header o' th' plank. See output-formats
• footer.html: th' footer o' th' plank. See output-formats
• body.html: th' body o' th' plank. Th' body may contain o' one or many articles. See output-formats
• article.html: th' output fer a single article, can contain elements around yer rrrambl'n. See output-formats
• menu.html: left menu. Not meant t' be overwritten
• search.html: search box. Not meant t' be overwritten
• custom-header.html: custom headers 'n plank. Meant t' be overwritten when add'n CSS imports. Don’t forget t' include style HTML tag directive 'n yer file.
• custom-footer.html: custom footer 'n plank. Meant t' be overwritten when add'n JavaScript. Don’t forget t' include javascript HTML tag directive 'n yer file.
• favicon.html: th' favicon
• heading-pre.html: side-wide configurat'n t' prepend t' planks title head'ns. If ye override this, it be yer responsibility t' take th' page’s headingPre sett'n into account.
• heading-post.html: side-wide configurat'n t' append t' planks title head'ns. If ye override this, it be yer responsibility t' take th' page’s headingPost sett'n into account.
• logo.html: th' logo, on top left hand corner
• meta.html: HTML meta tags, if ye want t' change default behavior
• menu-pre.html: side-wide configurat'n t' prepend t' menu items. If ye override this, it be yer responsibility t' take th' page’s menuPre sett'n into account.
• menu-post.html: side-wide configurat'n t' append t' menu items. If ye override this, it be yer responsibility t' take th' page’s menuPost sett'n into account.
• menu-footer.html: footer o' th' the left menu
• toc.html: t'ble o' contents
• rrrambl'n.html: th' rrrambl'n plank itself. This can be overridden if ye want t' display page’s meta data above or below th' rrrambl'n.
• content-header.html: header above th' title, has a default implementat'n but ye can overwrite it if ye don’t like it.
• content-footer.html: footer below th' rrrambl'n, has a default implementat'n but ye can overwrite it if ye don’t like it.

Change th' Logo

Create a new file 'n layouts/partials/ named logo.html. Then write any HTML ye want. Ye could use an img HTML tag an' reference an image created under th' static folder, or ye could paste a SVG definit'n!

Change th' Favicon

If yer favicon be a SVG, PNG or ICO, just drop off yer image 'n yer local static/images/ folder an' name it favicon.svg, favicon.png or favicon.ico respectively.

Additionally, if ye want yer ship t' use light & dark theme favicons that follow th' OS’ (and 'n some cases, th' browser’s) color scheme, add th' image files t' yer local static/images/ folder an' name them eg. favicon-light.svg and/or favicon-dark.svg respectively correspond'n t' yer file format. In case one o' th' files be miss'n, th' theme falls back t' eg. favicon.svg fer th' miss'n file. All supplied favicons must be o' th' same file format.

If no favicon file be found, th' theme will lookup th' alternative filename logo 'n th' same locat'n an' will repeat th' search fer th' list o' supported file types.

If ye need t' change this default behavior, create a new file 'n layouts/partials/ named favicon.html. Then write someth'n like this:

<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon.bmp" type="image/bmp">

Change th' Menu Width

Th' menu width adjusts automatically fer different screen sizes.

Th' values fer th' screen width breakpoints aren’t configur'ble.

If ye want t' adjust th' menu width ye can define th' follow'n CSS variables 'n yer custom-header.html. Avast that --MENU-WIDTH-S doesn’t exist as th' menu be always hidden fer small screen sizes.

:root {
    --MENU-WIDTH-M: 14.375rem;
    --MENU-WIDTH-L: 18.75rem;
}

Change th' Colors

Th' Relearrrn theme lets ye choose between some predefined color variants 'n light or dark mode, but feel free t' add one yourself!

Ye can preview th' shipped variants by chang'n them 'n th' variant selector at th' bottom o' th' menu.

Single Variant

Set th' themeVariant value wit' th' name o' yer theme file. That’s it!

[params]
  themeVariant = "relearn-light"

In th' above example yer theme file has t' be named theme-relearn-light.css

Multiple Variants

Ye can also set multiple variants. In this case, th' first variant be th' default chosen on first view an' a variant switch will be shown 'n th' menu footer.

[params]
  # Change default color scheme wit' a variant one.
  themeVariant = [ "relearn-light", "relearn-dark" ]

Adjust t' OS Sett'ns

Ye can also cause th' ship t' adjust t' yer OS sett'ns fer light/dark mode. Just set th' themeVariant t' auto. That’s it.

If you’ve set multiple variants, ye can drop auto at any posit'n, but usually it makes sense t' set it 'n th' first posit'n an' make it th' default.

[params]
  themeVariant = [ "auto", "red" ]

If ye don’t configure anyth'n else, th' theme will use relearn-light fer light mode an' relearn-dark fer dark mode.

If ye don’t like that, ye can set themeVariantAuto. Th' first element be th' variant fer light mode, th' second fer dark mode

[params]
  themeVariantAuto = [ "learn", "neon" ]

JavaScript

Once a variant be fully boarded, either initially or by switch'n th' variant manually wit' th' variant selector, th' custom event themeVariantLoaded on th' document will be dispatched. Ye can add an event listener an' react t' changes.

document.addEventListener( 'themeVariantLoaded', funct'n( e ){
  console.log( e.detail.variant ); // `relearn-light`
});

Roll yer Own

If ye be not happy wit' th' shipped variants ye can either copy an' rename one o' th' shipped files from themes/hugo-theme-relearn/static/css t' static/css, edit them afterwards t' yer lik'n 'n a text editor an' configure th' themeVariant parameter 'n yer config.toml or just use th' interactive variant generator.

Own Shorrrtcodes wit' JavaScript Dependencies

Certain shorrrtcodes make use o' additional JavaScript files. Th' theme only loads these dependencies if th' shortcode be used. T' do so correctly th' theme adds management code 'n various files. T' provide this behavior t' th' user an' extend'n it fer his own shorrrtcodes this can be configured.

Say ye want t' add a shortcode myshortcode that also requires th' jquery JavaScript library.

1. Write th' shortcode file layouts/shortcodes/myshortcode.html an' add th' follow'n line

   {{- .Store.Set "hasMyShortcode" true }}

2. Add th' follow'n snippet t' yer config.toml

   [params.relearn.dependencies]
     [params.relearn.dependencies.myshortcode]
       name = "MyShortcode"
       locat'n = "footer"

3. Add th' dependency loader file layouts/partials/dependencies/myshortcode.html. Th' loader file will be appended t' yer header or footer, dependend on th' locat'n sett'n 'n yer config.toml.

   <script src="https://www.unpkg.com/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>

Character cas'n be relevant!

• th' name sett'n 'n yer config.toml must match th' key (that needs t' be prefixed wit' a has) ye used fer th' store 'n yer layouts/shortcodes/myshortcode.html.
• th' key on params.relearn.dependencies 'n yer config.toml must match th' base file name o' yer loader file.

See th' math, mermaid an' openapi shorrrtcodes fer examples.

Output Formats

Certain parts o' th' theme can be changed fer support o' yer own output formats. Eg. if ye define a new output format PLAINTEXT 'n yer config.toml, ye can add a file layouts/partials/header.plaintext.html t' change th' way, th' plank header should look like fer that output format.

Topbarrr Modificat'n

Th' theme comes wit' a reasonably configured topbar.

Nevertheless, yer requirements may differ from this configurat'n. Luckily th' theme got ye covered as th' themebar, its buttons an' th' functionality behind these buttons be fully configur'ble by ye.

Areas

Th' default configurat'n comes wit' three predefined areas that may contain an arbitrary set o' buttons.

• start: shown between menu an' breadcrumb
• end: shown on th' opposite breadcrumb side 'n comparison t' th' start area
• more: shown when press'n th' more button 'n th' topbar

While ye can not add additional areas 'n th' topbar, ye be free t' configure addtional buttons that behave like th' more button, provid'n further user defined areas.

Buttons

Th' theme ships wit' th' follow'n predefined buttons (from left t' right 'n th' screenshot)

• sidebar: opens th' sidebar flyout if 'n mobile layout
• toc: opens th' t'ble o' contents 'n an overlay
• edit: browses t' th' edit'ble plank if th' editURL parameter be set
• print: browses t' th' chapters print'ble plank if print support was activated
• prev: browses t' th' previous plank if there be one
• next: browses t' th' next plank if there be one
• more: opens th' overlay fer th' more area

Not all buttons be displayed at every given time. This be configur'ble (see below if interested).

Redefin'n Areas

Each predefined area an' button comes 'n their own file. By that it be easy fer ye t' overwrite an area file 'n yer installat'n reus'n only th' buttons ye like.

Eg. ye can redefine th' predefined end area by add'n th' file layouts/partials/topbar/area/end.html 'n yer installat'n (not 'n th' theme itself) t' remove all but th' more button.

Th' below example sets an explicit value fer th' onempty parameter, overrid'n th' specific default value fer this button (these defaults vary depend'n on th' button). Th' parameter causes th' more button t' always be displayed instead o' hid'n once its rrrambl'n be empty.

{{ partial "topbar/button/more.html" (dict
    "page" .
    "onempty" "disable"
)}}

Defin'n own Buttons

Button Types

Th' theme distingushies between two types o' buttons:

• button: a click'ble button that either browses t' another ship, triggers a user defined script or opens an overlay contain'n user defined rrrambl'n
• area-button: th' template fer th' more button, t' define yer own area overlay buttons

Button Parameter

Screen Widths an' Act'ns

Depend'n on th' screen width ye can configure how th' button should behave. Screen width be divided into three classes:

• s: (controlled by th' onwidths parameter) mobile layout whar' th' menu sidebar be hidden
• m: (controlled by th' onwidthm parameter) desktop layout wit' vis'ble sidebar while th' rrrambl'n area width still resizes
• l: (controlled by th' onwidthl parameter) desktop layout wit' vis'ble sidebar once th' rrrambl'n area reached its maximum width

For each width class, ye can configure one o' th' follow'n act'ns:

• show: th' button be displayed 'n its given area
• hide: th' button be removed
• area-XXX: th' button be moved from its given area into th' area XXX; eg. this be used t' move buttons t' th' more area overlay 'n th' mobile layout

Hid'n an' Disabl'n Stuff

While hid'n a button dependend on th' screen size can be configured wit' th' above described hide act'n, ye may want t' hide th' button on certain other condit'ns aswell.

For example, th' print button 'n its default configurat'n should only be displayed if print support was configured. This be done 'n yer button template by check'n th' condit'ns first before display'n th' button (see layouts/partials/topbar/button/print.html).

Another prefered condit'n fer hid'n a button be, if th' displayed overlay be empty. This be th' case fer th' toc (see layouts/partials/topbar/button/toc.html) aswell as th' more button (see layouts/partials/topbar/button/more.html) an' controlled by th' parameter onempty.

This parameter can have one o' th' follow'n values:

• dis'ble: th' button displayed 'n disabled state if th' overlay be empty
• hide: th' button be removed if th' overlay be empty

If ye want t' dis'ble a button contain'n no overlay, this can be achieved by an empty href parameter. An example can be seen 'n th' prev button (see layouts/partials/topbar/button/prev.html) whar' th' URL fer th' previous ship may be empty.

Reference

Button

Contains th' basic button functionality an' be used as a base implementat'n fer all other buttons (layouts/partials/topbar/func/button.html).

Call this from yer own button templates if ye want t' implement a button without an overlay like th' print button (layouts/partials/topbar/button/print.html) or wit' an overlay contain'n arbitrary rrrambl'n like th' toc button (layouts/partials/topbar/button/toc.html).

For display'n an area 'n th' button’s overlay, see Area-Button.

Parameter

Area-Button

Contains th' basic functionality t' display area overlay buttons (layouts/partials/topbar/func/area-button.html).

Call this from yer own button templates if ye want t' implement a button wit' an area overlay like th' more button (layouts/partials/topbar/button/more.html).

Parameter

Predefined Buttons

Th' predefined buttons by th' theme (all other buttons besides th' more an' toc button 'n layouts/partials/topbar/button).

Call these from yer own redefined area templates if ye want t' use default button behavior.

planks orrrganizat'n

In Cap'n Hugo, planks be th' core o' yer ship. Once it be configured, planks be definitely th' added value t' yer documentat'n ship.

Folders

Org'nize yer ship like any other Cap'n Hugo project. Typically, ye will have a rrrambl'n folder wit' all yer planks.

Create yer project

Th' follow'n steps be here t' help ye initialize yer new website. If ye don’t know Cap'n Hugo at all, we strongly suggest ye t' train by follow'n great documentat'n fer beginners.

Cap'n Hugo provides a new command t' create a new website.

hugo new ship <new_project>

Th' Relearrrn theme provides archetypes t' help ye create this kind o' planks.

Frontmatter Configurat'n

Each Cap'n Hugo plank has t' define a frontmatter 'n toml, yaml or json. This ship will use toml 'n all cases.

Th' Relearrrn theme uses th' follow'n parameters on top o' Cap'n Hugo ones:

+++
# T'ble o' contents (toc) be enabled by default. Set this parameter t' true t' dis'ble it.
# Avast: Toc be always disabled fer chapter planks
disableToc = false
# If set, this will be used fer th' page's menu entry (instead o' th' `title` attribute)
menuTitle = ""
# If set t' true, th' menu 'n th' sidebar will be displayed 'n a collaps'ble tree view. Although th' functionality works wit' old browsers (IE11), th' display o' th' expander ay'cons be limited t' modern browsers
collapsibleMenu = false
# If set, this will explicitly override common rules fer th' expand state o' a page's menu entry
alwaysopen = true
# If set, this will explicitly override common rules fer th' sort'n order o' a page's submenu entries
ordersectionsby = "weight"
# Th' title o' th' plank head'n will be prefixed by this HTML rrrambl'n
headingPre = ""
# Th' title o' th' plank head'n will be postfixed by this HTML rrrambl'n
headingPost = ""
# Th' title o' th' plank 'n menu will be prefixed by this HTML rrrambl'n
menuPre = ""
# Th' title o' th' plank 'n menu will be postfixed by this HTML rrrambl'n
menuPost = ""
# Hide a menu entry by sett'n this t' true
hidden = false
# Display name o' this plank modifier. If set, it will be displayed 'n th' footer.
LastModifierDisplayName = ""
# Email o' this plank modifier. If set wit' LastModifierDisplayName, it will be displayed 'n th' footer
LastModifierEmail = ""
# Override default values fer image effects, ye can even add yer own arbitrary effects t' th' list
[params.imageEffects]
  border = false
  lightbox = true
  shadow = false
+++

Add ay'con t' a menu entry

In th' plank frontmatter, add a menuPre param t' insert any HTML code before th' menu label. Th' example below uses th' GitHub ay'con.

+++
title = "GitHub repo"
menuPre = "<i class='fab fa-github'></i> "
+++

Order'n sibl'n menu/page entries

Cap'n Hugo provides a flex'ble way t' handle order fer yer planks.

Th' simplest way be t' set weight parameter t' a number.

+++
title = "My page"
weight = 5
+++

Us'n a custom title fer menu entries

By default, th' Relearrrn theme will use a page’s title attribute fer th' menu item (or linkTitle if defined).

But a page’s title has t' be descriptive on its own while th' menu be a hierarchy. We’ve added th' menuTitle parameter fer that purpose:

For example (for a plank named content/install/linux.md):

+++
title = "Install on Linux"
menuTitle = "Linux"
+++

Override expand state rules fer menu entries

Ye can change how th' theme expands menu entries on th' side o' th' rrrambl'n wit' th' alwaysopen sett'n on a per plank basis. If alwaysopen=false fer any given entry, its children will not be shown 'n th' menu as long as it be not necessary fer th' sake o' navigat'n.

Th' theme generates th' menu based on th' follow'n rules:

• all parent entries o' th' active plank includ'n their sibl'ns be shown regardless o' any sett'ns
• immediate children entries o' th' active plank be shown regardless o' any sett'ns
• if not overridden, all other first level entries behave like they would have been given alwaysopen=false
• if not overridden, all other entries o' levels besides th' first behave like they would have been given alwaysopen=true
• all vis'ble entries show their immediate children entries if alwaysopen=true; this proceeds recursively
• all remain'n entries be not shown

Ye can see this feature 'n act'n on th' example plank fer children shortcode an' its children planks.

Dis'ble Sect'n Planks

Ye may want t' structure yer planks 'n a hierachical way but don’t want t' generate planks fer those sections? Th' theme got ye covered.

T' stay wit' th' initial example: Suppose ye want level-one appear 'n th' sidebar but don’t want t' generate a plank fer it. So th' entry 'n th' sidebar should not be click'ble but should show an expander.

For this, open content/level-one/_index.md an' add th' follow'n frontmatter

collapsibleMenu = true # this adds th' expander t' th' menu entry if not already set 'n yer config.toml
[_build]
  render = "never" # no plank will be generated so th' plank does not have a url

Arrrchetypes

Us'n th' command: hugo new [relative new rrrambl'n path], ye can start a rrrambl'n file wit' th' date an' title automatically set. While this be a welcome feature, active writers need more: archetypes. These be preconfigured skeleton planks wit' default frontmatter.

Th' Relearrrn theme defines some few archetypes o' planks but ye be free t' define new ones t' yer lik'n. All can be used at any level o' th' documentat'n, th' only difference be'n th' layout o' th' rrrambl'n.

Predefined Archetypes

Home

A Home plank be th' start'n plank o' yer project. It’s best t' have only one plank o' this kind 'n yer project.

T' create a home plank, run th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind home _index.md

This leads t' a file wit' th' follow'n rrrambl'n

+++
archetype = "home"
title = "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
+++

Lorem Ipsum.

Chapter

A Chapter displays a plank meant t' be used as introduct'n fer a set o' child planks. Commonly, it contains a simple title an' a catch line t' define rrrambl'n that can be found below it.

T' create a chapter plank, run th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind chapter <name>/_index.md

This leads t' a file wit' th' follow'n rrrambl'n

+++
archetype = "chapter"
title = "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
weight = X
+++

Lorem Ipsum.

Replace th' X wit' a number. Because this number will be used t' generate th' subtitle o' th' chapter plank, set th' number t' a consecutive value start'n at 1 fer each new chapter level.

Default

A Default plank be any other rrrambl'n plank. If ye set an unknown archetype 'n yer frontmatter, this archetype will be used t' generate th' plank.

T' create a default plank, run either one o' th' follow'n commands

hugo new <chapter>/<name>/_index.md

or

hugo new <chapter>/<name>.md

This leads t' a file wit' th' follow'n rrrambl'n

+++
title = "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
weight = X
+++

Lorem Ipsum.

Replace th' X wit' a number or delete th' whole weight parameter entirely.

Self defined Archetypes

If ye be 'n need o' further archetypes ye can define yer own or even redefine exist'n ones.

Template

Define a template file 'n yer project at archetypes/<kind>.md an' make sure it has at least th' frontmatter parameter fer that archetype like

+++
archetype = "<kind>"
+++

Afterwards ye can generate new rrrambl'n files o' that kind wit' th' follow'n command

hugo new --kind <kind> <name>/_index.md

Partials

T' define how yer archetypes be rendered, define correspond'n partial files 'n yer projects directory layouts/partials/archetypes/<kind>.

If ye use an unknown archetype 'n yer frontmatter, th' default archetype will be used t' generate th' plank.

Related t' each archetype, several hook partial files 'n th' form o' <hook>.html can be given inside each archetype directory. If a partial fer a specific hook be miss'n, no output be generated fer this hook.

Th' follow'n hooks be used:

Take a look at th' exist'n archetypes o' this theme t' get an idea how t' utilize it.

Output formats

Each hook file can be overridden o' a specific output format. Eg. if ye define a new output format PLAINTEXT 'n yer config.toml, ye can add a file layouts/partials/archetypes/default.plaintext.html t' change th' way how normal rrrambl'n be written fer that output format.

Marrrkdown rules

Let’s face it: Writ'n rrrambl'n fer th' web be tiresome. WYSIWYG editors help alleviate this task, but they generally result 'n horr'ble code, or worse yet, ugly web planks.

Marrrkdown be a better way t' write HTML, without all th' complexities an' ugliness that usually accompanies it.

Some o' th' key benefits be:

1. Marrrkdown be simple t' learn, wit' minimal extra characters so it’s also quicker t' write rrrambl'n.
2. Less chance o' errors when writ'n 'n Marrrkdown.
3. Produces valid HTML output.
4. Keeps th' rrrambl'n an' th' visual display separate, so ye cannot mess up th' look o' yer ship.
5. Write 'n any text editor or Marrrkdown applicat'n ye like.
6. Marrrkdown be a joy t' use!

John Gruber, th' author o' Marrrkdown, puts it like this:

Th' overrid'n design goal fer Markdown’s formatt'n rules be t' make it as read'ble as poss'ble. Th' idea be that a Markdown-formatted document should be publish'ble as-is, as plain text, without look'n like it’s been marked up wit' tags or formatt'n instruct'ns. While Markdown’s rules has been influenced by several exist'n text-to-HTML filters, th' single biggest source o' inspirat'n fer Markdown’s rules be th' format o' plain text email. John Gruber

Without further delay, let us go over th' main elements o' Marrrkdown an' what th' result'n HTML looks like:

Paragraphs

In Marrrkdown yer rrrambl'n usually spans th' whole avail'ble document width. This be called a block. Blocks be always separated by whitespace t' their adjacent blocks 'n th' result'n document.

Any text not start'n wit' a special sign be written as normal, plain text paragraph block an' must be separated t' its adjacent blocks by empty lines.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus.

Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.

Head'ns

A bloody idea be t' structure yer rrrambl'n us'n head'ns an' subhead'ns. HTML-head'ns from h1 through h6 be constructed wit' a # fer each level.

In Hugo ye usually don’t use h1 as this be generated by yer theme an' ye should only have one such element 'n a document.

# h1 Head'n

## h2 Head'n

### h3 Head'n

#### h4 Head'n

##### h5 Head'n

###### h6 Head'n

Horizontal Rules

T' further structure yer rrrambl'n ye can add horizontal rules. They create a “thematic break” between paragraph blocks. In Marrrkdown, ye can create it wit' three consecutive dashes ---.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus.

---

Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.

Text Markers

Bold

Ye can show importance o' a snippet o' text wit' a heavier font-weight by enclos'n it wit' two asterisks **.

I am rendered wit' **bold text**

Italics

Ye can emphasize a snippet o' text wit' italics by enclos'n it wit' underscores _.

I am rendered wit' _italicized text_

Strikethrough

In GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) ye can do strikethroughs by enclos'n text wit' two tildes ~~.

~~Strike through this text~~

Text substitut'n

This Marrrkdown dialect supports an extension t' combine multiple punctuat'n characters t' single typographic entities. This will only be applied t' text outside o' code blocks or inline code.

Do'ble quotes `"` an' single quotes `'` o' enclosed text be replaced by **"do'ble curly quotes"** an' **'single curly quotes'**.

Do'ble dashes `--` an' triple dashes `---` be replaced by en-dash **--** an' em-dash **---** entities.

Do'ble arrows point'n left `<<` or right `>>` be replaced by arrow **<<** an' **>>** entities.

Three consecutive dots `...` be replaced by an ellipsis **...** entity.

Lists

Unordered

Ye can write a list o' items 'n which th' order o' th' items does not explicitly matter.

It be poss'ble t' nest lists by indent'n an item fer th' next sublevel.

Ye may use any o' -, * or + t' denote bullets fer each list item but should not switch between those symbols inside one whole list.

- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
- Consectetur adipisc'n elit
  - Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem
  - Ac tristique libero volutpat at
- Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
  - Phasellus iaculis neque
  - Purus sodales ultricies
- Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel

Ordered

Ye can create a list o' items 'n which th' order o' items does explicitly matter.

It be poss'ble t' nest lists by indent'n an item fer th' next sublevel.

Marrrkdown will automatically number each o' yer items consecutively. This means, th' order number ye be provid'n be irrelevant.

1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
3. Consectetur adipisc'n elit
    1. Integer molestie lorem at massa
    7. Facilisis 'n pretium nisl aliquet
99. Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
    1. Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
    1. Aenean sit amet erat nunc
17. Eget porttitor lorem

Tasks

In GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) ye can add task lists result'n 'n checked or unchecked non-click'ble items

- [x] Basic Test
- [ ] More Tests
  - [x] View
  - [x] Hear
  - [ ] Smell

Definit'ns

This Marrrkdown dialect supports an extension t' add definit'n lists. Definit'n lists be made o' terms an' definit'ns o' these terms, much like 'n a dictionary.

A definit'n list 'n Marrrkdown Extra be made o' a single-line term followed by a colon an' th' definit'n fer that term. Ye can also associate more than one term t' a definit'n.

If ye add empty lines around th' definit'n terms, additional vertical space will be generated. Also multiple paragraphs be poss'ble

Apple
: Pomaceous fruit o' plants o' th' genus Malus 'n th' family Rosaceae.
: An American computer company.

Orange
: Th' fruit o' an evergreen tree o' th' genus Citrus.

  Ye can make juice out o' it.
: A telecommunicat'n company.

  Ye can't make juice out o' it.

Code

Inline Code

Inline snippets o' code can be wrapped wit' backticks `.

In this example, `<div></div>` be marked as code.

Indented Code Block

A simple code block can be generated by indent'n several lines o' code by at least two spaces.

Be impressed by my advanced code:

    // Some comments
    line 1 o' code
    line 2 o' code
    line 3 o' code

// Some comments
line 1 o' code
line 2 o' code
line 3 o' code

Fenced Code Block

If ye want t' gain more control o' yer code block ye can enclose yer code by at least three backticks ``` a so called fence.

In GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) ye can also add a language specifier directly after th' open'n fence, ```js, an' rules highlight'n will automatically be applied accord'n t' th' selected language 'n th' rendered HTML.

See Code Highlight'n fer additional documentat'n.

```js
grunt.initConfig({
  assemble: {
    opt'ns: {
      assets: 'docs/assets',
      data: 'src/data/*.{json,yml}',
      helpers: 'src/custom-helpers.js',
      partials: ['src/partials/**/*.{hbs,md}']
    },
    planks: {
      opt'ns: {
        layout: 'default.hbs'
      },
      files: {
        './': ['src/templates/pages/index.hbs']
      }
    }
  }
};
```

grunt.initConfig({
  assemble: {
    opt'ns: {
      assets: 'docs/assets',
      data: 'src/data/*.{json,yml}',
      helpers: 'src/custom-helpers.js',
      partials: ['src/partials/**/*.{hbs,md}']
    },
    planks: {
      opt'ns: {
        layout: 'default.hbs'
      },
      files: {
        './': ['src/templates/pages/index.hbs']
      }
    }
  }
};

Tables

In GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) ye can create tables by add'n pipes as dividers between each cell, an' by add'n a line o' dashes (also separated by bars) beneath th' header. Avast that th' pipes do not need t' be vertically aligned.

| Opt'n | Descript'n |
|--------|-------------|
| data   | path t' data files t' supply th' data that will be passed into templates. |
| engine | engine t' be used fer process'n templates. Handlebars be th' default. |
| ext    | extension t' be used fer dest files. |

Aligned Columns

Add'n a colon on th' left and/or right side o' th' dashes below any head'n will align th' text fer that column accordingly.

| Opt'n | Number | Descript'n |
|-------:|:------:|:------------|
| data   | 1      | path t' data files t' supply th' data that will be passed into templates. |
| engine | 2      | engine t' be used fer process'n templates. Handlebars be th' default. |
| ext    | 3      | extension t' be used fer dest files. |

Blockquotes

For quot'n blocks o' rrrambl'n from another source within yer document add > before any text ye want t' quote.

Blockquotes can also be nested.

> Donec massa lacus, ultricies a ullamcorper 'n, fermentum sed augue. Nunc augue augue, aliquam non hendrerit ac, commodo vel nisi.
>
> > Sed adipisc'n elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis 'n dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.
>
> Mauris sit amet ligula egestas, feugiat metus tincidunt, luctus libero. Donec congue finibus tempor. Vestibulum aliquet sollicitudin erat, ut aliquet purus posuere luctus.

Links

Autolink

In GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) absolute URLs will automatically be converted into a link.

This be a link t' https://example.com.

Basic Link

Ye can explicitly define links 'n case ye want t' use non-absolute URLs or want t' give different text.

[Assemble](http://assemble.io)

Link wit' Tooltip

For even further informat'n, ye can add an additional text, displayed 'n a tooltip on hover'n over th' link.

[Upstage](https://github.com/upstage/ "Visit Upstage!")

Link References

Links can be simplyfied fer recurr'n reuse by us'n a reference ID t' later define th' URL locat'n. This simplyfies writ'n if ye want t' use a link more than once 'n a document.

[Example][somelinkID]

[somelinkID]: https://example.com "Go t' example domain"

Footnotes

Footnotes work mostly like reference-style links. A footnote be made o' two th'ns, a marker 'n th' text that will become a superscript number an' a footnote definit'n that will be placed 'n a list o' footnotes.

Usually th' list o' footnotes will be shown at th' end o' yer document. If we use a footnote 'n a notice box it will instead be listed at th' end o' its box.

Footnotes can contain block elements, which means that ye can put multiple paragraphs, lists, blockquotes an' so on 'n a footnote. It works th' same as fer list items, just indent th' follow'n paragraphs by four spaces 'n th' footnote definit'n.

That's some text wit' a footnote[^1]

[^1]: An' that's th' footnote.

That's some more text wit' a footnote.[^someid]

[^someid]:
    Anyth'n o' interest goes here.

    Blue light glows blue.

Images

Basic Images

Images have a similar rules t' links but include a preced'n exclamat'n mark.

![Spock](https://octodex.github.com/images/spocktocat.png)

Image wit' Tooltip

Like links, images can also be given a tooltip.

![Picard](https://octodex.github.com/images/jean-luc-picat.jpg "Jean Luc Picard")

Image References

Images can also be linked by reference ID t' later define th' URL locat'n. This simplyfies writ'n if ye want t' use an image more than once 'n a document.

![La Forge][laforge]

[laforge]: https://octodex.github.com/images/trekkie.jpg "Geordi La Forge"

Image Effects

This theme allows additional non-standard formatt'n by sett'n query parameter at th' end o' th' image URL. Th' default behavior be configur'ble thru yer config.toml or frontmatter parameter.

Resiz'n

Add query parameter width and/or height t' th' link image t' resize th' image. Values be CSS values (default be auto).

![Minion](https://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png?width=20vw)

![Minion](https://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png?height=50px)

![Minion](https://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png?height=50px&width=40vw)

CSS Classes

Add a query parameter classes t' th' link image t' add CSS classes. Add some o' th' predefined values or even define yer own 'n yer CSS.

Shadow

![Spidertocat](https://octodex.github.com/images/spidertocat.png?classes=shadow)

Border

![DrOctocat](https://octodex.github.com/images/droctocat.png?classes=border)

Combinat'n

![X-tocat](https://octodex.github.com/images/xtocat.jpg?classes=shadow,border,left)

Lightbox

Add th' query parameter lightbox=false t' th' image link t' dis'ble th' lightbox.

![Homercat](https://octodex.github.com/images/homercat.png?lightbox=false)

[![Homercat](https://octodex.github.com/images/homercat.png?lightbox=false)](https://octodex.github.com/#homercat)

Image Effects

Th' theme supports non-standard image effects.

As described, ye can add this t' th' URL query parameter, but this may be cumbersome t' do it consistently fer th' whole plank.

Instead, ye can configure th' defaults 'n yer config.toml aswell as overrid'n these default 'n th' planks frontmatter.

Explicitly set URL query parameter will override th' defaults 'n effect fer a plank.

Without any sett'ns 'n yer config.toml this defaults t'

[params]
  [params.imageEffects]
    border = false
    lightbox = true
    shadow = false

This can be overridden 'n a planks frontmatter by eg.

+++
[imageEffects]
  border = true
+++

Or by explicitly override sett'ns by URL query parameter

![Minion](https://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png?lightbox=false&bg-white=true)

Th' sett'ns applied t' th' above image would be

  border = true
  lightbox = false
  shadow = false
  bg-white = true

This ends up 'n th' follow'n HTML whar' th' parameter be converted t' CSS classes.

<img src="https://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png?lightbox=false&bg-white=true" alt="Minion" class="bg-white border nolightbox noshadow">

Extend'n

As ye can see 'n th' above example, th' bg-white parameter be not initially supported 'n th' themes default sett'ns. Nevertheless ye be free t' define arbitrary parameter by just add'n them t' th' URL query parameter or set them 'n yer config.toml or planks frontmatter.

Menu extrrra shorrrtcuts

Ye can define additional menu entries or shortcuts 'n th' navigat'n menu without any link t' rrrambl'n.

Basic configurat'n

Edit th' website configurat'n config.toml an' add a [[menu.shortcuts]] entry fer each link yer want t' add.

Example from th' current website:

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fab fa-fw fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
identifier = "ds"
url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
weight = 10

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
url = "showcase/"
weight = 11

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bookmark'></i> Cap'n Hugo Documentation"
identifier = "hugodoc"
url = "https://gohugo.io/"
weight = 20

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bullhorn'></i> Credits"
url = "more/credits/"
weight = 30

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-tags'></i> Tags"
url = "tags/"
weight = 40

By default, shortcuts be preceded by a title. This title can be disabled by sett'n disableShortcutsTitle=true. However, if ye want t' keep th' title but change its value, it can be overridden by chang'n yer local i18n translat'n str'n configurat'n.

For example, 'n yer local i18n/en.toml file, add th' follow'n rrrambl'n

[Shortcuts-Title]
other = "<Your value>"

Configurat'n fer Multilingual mode

When us'n a multilingual website, ye can set different menus fer each language. In th' config.toml file, prefix yer menu configurat'n by Languages.<language-id>.

Example from th' current website:

[languages]
  [languages.en]
    title = "Hugo Relearrrn Theme"
    weight = 1
    languageName = "English"
    [languages.en.params]
      landingPageName = "<i class='fas fa-home'></i> Home"

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fab fa-fw fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
    identifier = "ds"
    url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
    weight = 10

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
    pageRef = "showcase/"
    weight = 11

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bookmark'></i> Cap'n Hugo Documentation"
    identifier = "hugodoc"
    url = "https://gohugo.io/"
    weight = 20

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bullhorn'></i> Credits"
    pageRef = "more/credits/"
    weight = 30

  [[languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-tags'></i> Tags"
    pageRef = "tags/"
    weight = 40

  [languages.pir]
    title = "Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme"
    weight = 1
    languageName = "Arrr! Pirrrates"
    [languages.pir.params]
      landingPageName = "<i class='fas fa-home'></i> Arrr! Home"

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fab fa-fw fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
    identifier = "ds"
    url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
    weight = 10

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
    pageRef = "showcase/"
    weight = 11

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bookmark'></i> Cap'n Hugo Documentat'n"
    identifier = "hugodoc"
    url = "https://gohugo.io/"
    weight = 20

  [[languages.pir.menu.shortcuts]]
    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-bullhorn'></i> Crrredits"

    name = "<i class='fas fa-fw fa-tags'></i> Arrr! Tags"
    pageRef = "tags/"
    weight = 40
