🎯 Features

🧰 Getting Started

‼️ Prerequisites

You need static site generator (SSG) Zola installed in your machine to use this theme follow their guide on getting started.

⚙️ Installation

Follow zola's guide on installing a theme. Make sure to add theme = "DeepThought" to your config.toml

Check zola version (only 0.9.0+) Just to double-check to make sure you have the right version. It is not supported to use this theme with a version under 0.14.1.

🏃 Run Locally

Go into your sites directory and type zola serve. You should see your new site at localhost:1111.

NOTE: you must provide the theme options variables in config.toml to serve a functioning site

🚩 Deployment

Zola already has great documentation for deploying to Netlify or Github Pages. I won't bore you with a regurgitated explanation.

👀 Usage

Following options are available with the DeepThought theme

Multilingual Navbar

If you want to have a multilingual navbar on your blog, you must add your new code language in the languages array in the config.toml file.

NOTE: Don't add you default language to this array

languages = [
    {code = "fr"},
    {code = "es"},
]

And then create and array of nav item for each language:

NOTE: Include your default language in this array

navbar_items = [
 { code = "en", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Home" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/posts", name = "Posts" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/docs", name = "Docs" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories" },
 ]},
 { code = "fr", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Connexion" },
 ]},
 { code = "es", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Publicationes" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Registrar" },
 ]}
]

KaTeX math formula support

This theme contains math formula support using KaTeX, which can be enabled by setting katex.enabled = true in the extra section of config.toml.

After enabling this extension, the katex short code can be used in documents:

{{ katex(body="\KaTeX") }} to typeset a math formula inlined into a text, similar to $...$ in LaTeX
{% katex(block=true) %}\KaTeX{% end %} to typeset a block of math formulas, similar to $$...$$ in LaTeX

Automatic rendering without short codes

Optionally, \$ \KaTeX \$ / $ \KaTeX $ inline and \\[ \KaTeX \\] / $$ \KaTeX $$ block-style automatic rendering is also supported, if enabled in the config by setting katex.auto_render = true.

Elasticlunr search in other language

Zola use Elasticlunr.js to add full-text search feature. To use languages other than en (English), you need to add some javascript files. See the Zola's issue #1349. By placing the templates/base.htmlon your project and using the other_lang_search_js block, you can load the required additional javascript files in the right timing.

e.g. templates/base.html

{% extends "DeepThought/templates/base.html" %} {% block other_lang_search_js %}
<script src="{{ get_url(path='js/lunr.stemmer.support.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ get_url(path='js/tinyseg.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ get_url(path='js/lunr.' ~ lang ~ '.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ get_url(path='js/search.js') }}"></script>
{% endblock %}

More detailed explanations are aound in elasticlunr's documents.
