## Installation
2019-05-22 07:23:16 +00:00
2021-09-11 19:27:19 +00:00
### Install as git submodule
2019-03-29 15:15:43 +00:00
Navigate to your hugo project root and run:
2019-05-22 07:23:16 +00:00
2018-09-13 16:07:55 +00:00
```
2021-11-19 12:33:01 +00:00
git submodule add https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book themes/hugo-book
2018-09-13 16:07:55 +00:00
```
2021-11-19 12:33:01 +00:00
Then run hugo (or set `theme = "hugo-book"` /`theme: hugo-book` in configuration file)
2019-05-22 07:23:16 +00:00
2018-09-17 13:09:51 +00:00
```
2021-11-19 12:33:01 +00:00

```
2018-09-13 16:07:55 +00:00

### Install as hugo module
2021-09-07 20:05:33 +00:00
You can also add this theme as a Hugo module instead of a git submodule.
2021-09-11 19:27:19 +00:00
Start with initializing hugo modules, if not done yet:
```
hugo mod init github.com/repo/path
```
2024-05-18 10:32:29 +00:00
Navigate to your hugo project root and add [module] section to your `hugo.toml` :
2021-09-07 20:05:33 +00:00
```toml
[module]
[[module.imports]]
path = 'github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book'
```
2021-09-11 19:27:19 +00:00
Then, to load/update the theme module and run hugo:
2021-09-07 20:05:33 +00:00
```sh
hugo mod get -u
hugo server --minify
```
2019-03-29 15:15:43 +00:00

2019-05-22 07:23:16 +00:00
2019-03-29 15:15:43 +00:00
```sh
hugo new site mydocs; cd mydocs
git init
2021-11-19 12:33:01 +00:00
git submodule add https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book themes/hugo-book
2023-02-13 22:05:05 +00:00
cp -R themes/hugo-book/exampleSite/content.en/* ./content
2019-03-29 15:15:43 +00:00
```
2019-05-22 07:23:16 +00:00
2019-03-29 15:15:43 +00:00
```sh
2021-11-19 12:33:01 +00:00

```
2018-09-17 13:33:04 +00:00
## Menu
2019-05-22 07:23:16 +00:00
2021-01-26 21:20:17 +00:00
By default, the theme will render pages from the `content/docs` section as a menu in a tree structure.
2024-10-02 14:14:53 +00:00
You can set `title` and `weight` in the front matter of pages to adjust the order and titles in the menu, as well as other parameters to hide or alter urls in the menu. You can choose which folder to use for generating menu with `BookSection` configuration parameter.
2018-09-13 16:07:55 +00:00
2019-01-24 21:54:33 +00:00
## Blog
2018-09-13 16:07:55 +00:00

A simple blog is supported in the section `posts` .
2020-07-29 11:37:55 +00:00
A blog is not the primary usecase of this theme, so it has only minimal features.

### Partials
2018-09-17 13:19:18 +00:00
2021-09-27 07:36:02 +00:00
There are layout partials available for you to easily override components of the theme in `layouts/partials/` .
In addition to this, there are several empty partials you can override to easily add/inject code.
2018-09-17 13:09:51 +00:00
2021-09-27 07:36:02 +00:00
| Empty Partial | Placement |
2021-01-26 17:45:08 +00:00
| -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `layouts/partials/docs/inject/head.html` | Before closing `<head>` tag |
| `layouts/partials/docs/inject/body.html` | Before closing `<body>` tag |

2019-05-14 01:57:03 +00:00
### Extra Customisation
2019-04-09 20:50:25 +00:00
2019-10-08 23:00:26 +00:00

2019-04-09 20:50:25 +00:00
2020-02-10 22:31:33 +00:00
### Plugins
2024-01-10 11:40:24 +00:00
There are a few features implemented as pluggable `scss` styles. Usually these are features that don't make it to the core but can still be useful.
2020-02-10 22:31:33 +00:00
| Plugin | Description |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `assets/plugins/_numbered.scss` | Makes headings in markdown numbered, e.g. `1.1` , `1.2` |

2020-09-13 22:02:55 +00:00
To enable plugins, add `@import "plugins/{name}";` to `assets/_custom.scss` in your website root.
2020-02-10 22:31:33 +00:00
2019-10-03 12:10:03 +00:00
### Hugo Internal Templates
2020-07-29 11:37:55 +00:00
There are a few hugo templates inserted in `<head>`
2019-10-03 12:10:03 +00:00
- [Google Analytics ](https://gohugo.io/templates/internal/#google-analytics )
- [Open Graph ](https://gohugo.io/templates/internal/#open-graph )
2021-05-27 07:11:13 +00:00
To disable Open Graph inclusion you can create your own empty file `\layouts\_internal\opengraph.html` .
In fact almost empty not quite empty because an empty file looks like absent for HUGO. For example:
```
<!-- -->
```
2019-05-24 12:07:44 +00:00
## Shortcodes
2021-07-25 20:44:14 +00:00

2020-07-29 11:37:55 +00:00
By default, Goldmark trims unsafe outputs which might prevent some shortcodes from rendering. It is recommended to set `markup.goldmark.renderer.unsafe=true` if you encounter problems.
2020-05-22 08:35:31 +00:00
```toml
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe = true
```

## Versioning

This theme follows a simple incremental versioning. e.g. `v1` , `v2` and so on. There might be breaking changes between versions.

If you want lower maintenance, use one of the released versions. If you want to live on the bleeding edge of changes, you can use the `master` branch and update your website when needed.

Primary goals are:
2020-02-10 22:31:33 +00:00
- Keep it simple.
- Keep minimal (or zero) default configuration.
- Avoid interference with user-defined layouts.
- Avoid using JS if it can be solved by CSS.
