Newsroom Theme

This a simple, minimalistic theme, which is inspired by Apple's Newsroom page. You won't find a single reference of monolithic libraries such as jquery, bootstrap, bulma.

All the templates herein use grid css, flexbox & vanilla js. You may,however, proceed and tweak everything as you wish.

Deeplinks

For all content published using markdown, deeplinks will be added to the pages so that you can share with precision 😃 Just hover on a heading and the link button will pop. Click it to copy.

Installation

Add this theme as a Git submodule inside your Hugo site folder:

git submodule add https://github.com/onweru/newsroom.git themes/newsroom

Theme hugo sass and hugo-extended version.

Configuration

You can configure the site using as follows:

General Information

Use the file config.toml.
menu, footer

See the data files inside the data/ directory.

Start publishing

Follow the exampleSite/; specifically, the content directory

Dark Mode

Today most operating systems & browsers support dark mode. Like twitter, which automatically turns into dark mode when the user chooses darkmode, this theme does the same thing.

If the user wants to opt in or out of darkmode, there's a UI control for that too in the menu 😊.

Syntax highlighting

Depending on your fancy, you can opt to use Chroma.

I want to use disqus

Some folks may want to use disqus on their site. In fact, there was an issue for that express purpose.

To enable disqus on your site, simply, add the line below to you config.toml file. If you're working off the exampleSite, the line is already there; just uncomment it.

disqusShortname = "yourdiscussshortname"

remember to edit the yourdiscussshortname appropriately.

From your disqus dashboard, set your scripts color scheme to auto. See screenshot below

Custom Shortcodes

This theme ships with two custom shortcodes (they both use positional parameters):

Video This shortcode can be used to embed a youtube video with custom styling. It takes a solo positional parameter.
```
...
{{< video "youtubeVideoID" >}}
...
```
Picture You want to use darkmode images when darkmode is enabled on a device and a regular image on lightmode? It takes 3 positional parameter

Store these images in the static/images directory.
```
...
{{< picture "lightModeImage.png" "darkModeImage.png" "Image alt text" >}}
...
```
