Hugo Book Theme

Hugo documentation theme as simple as plain book

Features

Clean simple design
Mobile friendly
Customizable
Designed to not interfere with main website
Zero initial configuration

Installation

Navigate to your hugo website root and run:

git clone git@github.com:alex-shpak/hugo-book.git themes/book

Then run hugo (or set theme: book in configuration file)

hugo server --theme book

By default theme will render pages from content/docs section as menu in a tree structure.
You can set title and weight in front matter of pages to adjust order and titles in menu.

You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's index.md as menu.

Given you have this file structure

├── content
│   └── docs
│       ├── page-one.md
│       └── page-two.md

Create file content/docs/menu/index.md with content

---
headless: true
---

- [Book Example](/docs/)
  - [Page One](/docs/page-one)
  - [Page Two](/docs/page-two)

And Enable it by settings BookMenuBundle: /docs/menu in Site configuration

Configuration

Site Configuration

There are few configuration options you can add to your config.yml|json|toml file

# (Optional) Set this to true if you use captial letters in file names
disablePathToLower: true

params:
  # (Optional, default true) Show or hide table of contents globally
  # You can also specify this parameter per page in front matter
  BookShowToC: true

  # (Optional, default none) Set leaf bundle to render as side menu
  # When not specified file structure and weights will be used
  BookMenuBundle: /docs/menu

  # (Optional, default docs) Specify section of content to render as menu
  # You can also set value to "*" to render all sections to menu
  BookSection: docs

Page Configuration

You can specify additional params per page in front matter

---
# Set type to 'docs' if you want to render page outside of configured section or if you render section other than 'docs'
type: docs

# Set page weight to re-arrange items in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
weight: 10

# (Optional) Set to mark page as flat section in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
bookFlatSection: true

# (Optional) Set to hide table of contents, overrides global value

Partials

There are few empty partials you can override in layouts/partials/

`layouts/partials/docs/inject/body.html`	Before closing `<body>` tag
`layouts/partials/docs/inject/menu-before.html`	At the beginning of `<nav>` menu block
`layouts/partials/docs/inject/menu-after.html`	At the end of `<nav>` menu block

Contributing

Contributions are welcome and I will review and consider pull requests.
Primary goals are:

Keep it simple
Keep minimal (or zero) default configuration
Avoid interference with user-defined layouts

Feel free to open issue if you missing some configuration or customisation option.
