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

File tree menu (default)

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.

Leaf bundle menu

You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's index.md as menu.
Enable it by pointing to leaf bundle with BookMenuBundle parameter on Site level.

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 side menu
  # When not specified file structure and weights will be used
  # See https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/
  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

Per document configuration

You can specify additional params per document in front matter

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

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

# Set to mark page as top level section in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)

# Set to hide table of contents, overrides global value

Partials

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

Partial Placement

layouts/partials/docs/inject/body.html Before closing <body> tag
layouts/partials/docs/inject/nav-before.html Before <nav> menu block
layouts/partials/docs/inject/nav-after.html After <nav> menu block

Contributing

Primary goals are:

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