Configurations

Favicon

You can put your favicon at static/favicon.ico, the theme will automatically look for it there. If you want to choose a different path, please set the favicon parameter in [params] in the config.

Atom feed

In order to enable Atom feed (instead of RSS), put this in your config.toml:

[outputs]
home = ["HTML", "Atom"]

[mediaTypes]
[mediaTypes."application/atom"]
suffix = "xml"

[outputFormats.Atom]
mediaType = "application/atom"
baseName = "feed"
isPlainText = false

disableKinds = ['RSS']

Customize the colors

This theme uses CSS variables, and if you want to change the colours on this theme, you can override the variables.css in layouts/partials/css. This is loaded before the theme css.

Google analytics

Google analytics tracking code can be added to config.toml like this:

googleAnalytics = "UA-123-45"

Markdown TOC

Table of contents is activated by default, if it detects markdown headings. To turn it off, just add toc = false in the frontmatter. Alternatively, you can turn off contents page for the whole site by setting showtoc = false under the [params] section of config.toml, like this:

[params]
showtoc = false

Math rendering

Math rendering is off by default, can be turned on for individual posts or pages by setting math = true in the frontmatter.

Tag cloud is shown by default. To disable, add showTagCloud = false under the [params] section, similar to showtoc. You can also configure the maximum number of tags you want to show in your tag cloud, using the maxTags key under [params]. This number is 50 by default.
