FEATURES

  • syntax highlighting for code blocks
  • Google Analytics
  • Disqus commenting
  • custom list of links

KNOWN ISSUES

  • no IE testing
  • no custom menu
  • header date format is hardcoded in ./templates/header.html with the exception of articles.
  • Svbtle uses Freight-Sans-Pro for article titles and Proxima Nova for body. While they are two great fonts, neither are free. I've linked to them in case the client has them installed, but for users will be view the site with Open Sans.

INSTALL

FROM SOURCE

Download the repository and save it somewhere accessible. Edit settings.py and modify the THEME variable to point to the downloaded theme location.

SETTINGS.PY

These are the Pelican global variables currently supported by the theme:

MODIFICATION
