# A Basic Hugo Theme
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While the official documentation about Hugo [Templates](https://gohugo.io/templates/)
|
||||||
|
does provide all of the pieces to get started creating a theme, it doesn't
|
||||||
|
necessarily put them together in one, easy-to-see-together place. This theme
|
||||||
|
attempts to pull all of the necessary pieces together into a theme that can be
|
||||||
|
used as a starting point to create more sophisticated themes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Getting Started
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Follow the [Hugo Quickstart](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/)
|
||||||
|
instructions on how to install Hugo, create a site, and install a theme.
|
||||||
|
Installing the theme as a git submodule is the preferred way.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
git add submodule https://git.thecorams.net/kevin/basic-theme.git themes/basic-theme
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Example Site
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The theme includes an example site to give a quick way to see how the theme
|
||||||
|
looks and behaves.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cd exampleSite
|
||||||
|
hugo serve [ -D ] --themesDir ../..
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most of the sample posts are intentionally set `draft: true` to allow for
|
||||||
|
testing few posts vs many posts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As a very basic theme, there is very little to be configured via the `config.toml`
|
||||||
|
file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The footer layout file uses Hugo's `markdownify` pipe to display the `copyright`
|
||||||
|
configuration setting, providing support both for HTML5 character escape
|
||||||
|
sequences such as `©` as well as markdwn formatting and links.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The only non-standard configuration setting is the `subtitle` parameter:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```toml
|
||||||
|
[params]
|
||||||
|
subtitle = "A sub-title for your site"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Theme Organization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Semantic Content Organization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The chrome of the theme page organization is as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```html
|
||||||
|
<html>
|
||||||
|
<head>
|
||||||
|
<title>Site Title</title>
|
||||||
|
</head>
|
||||||
|
<body>
|
||||||
|
<header>
|
||||||
|
<hgroup>
|
||||||
|
<h1>Site Title</h1>
|
||||||
|
<h2>Site Sub-title</h2>
|
||||||
|
</hgroup>
|
||||||
|
<nav>
|
||||||
|
<!-- Site Navigation/Menu: links to pages that are part of -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- the "main" menu -->
|
||||||
|
</nav>
|
||||||
|
</header>
|
||||||
|
<main>
|
||||||
|
<header>
|
||||||
|
<h1>Content Title</h1>
|
||||||
|
<nav>
|
||||||
|
<!-- Content Navigation/Menu: a place holder for a -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- content specific menu, such as a list of blog posts -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- based on publication date. Not yet implemented. -->
|
||||||
|
</nav>
|
||||||
|
</header>
|
||||||
|
<section>
|
||||||
|
<!-- The page content. For list sections, this is where the -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- the list of pages goes. For single pages, this is where -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- the content of the page markdown file goes. -->
|
||||||
|
</section>
|
||||||
|
<footer>
|
||||||
|
<!-- The page footer. For list sections, this is where the -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- pagination controls can go. For single pages, this is -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- where auther attribution and/or prev/next page controls -->
|
||||||
|
<!-- could go. -->
|
||||||
|
</footer>
|
||||||
|
</main>
|
||||||
|
<footer>
|
||||||
|
<!-- The Site Footer, for copyright information etc. -->
|
||||||
|
</footer>
|
||||||
|
</body>
|
||||||
|
</html>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the content pages use `##` as their largest heading, this will result
|
||||||
|
in document outlines structured as:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Site Title
|
||||||
|
1. Site Sub-title
|
||||||
|
2. Content Title
|
||||||
|
1. Header from Content
|
||||||
|
1. Sub-header from content
|
||||||
|
2. Second Header from Content
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Hugo Templating
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The template layout files make heavy use of Hugo's
|
||||||
|
[base and block constructs](https://gohugo.io/templates/base/), as can be seen
|
||||||
|
in [baseof.html](layouts/_default/baseof.html).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### title
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This block is used for generating the `<title>....</title>` markup for the
|
||||||
|
rendered page and defaults to using the `title` configuration from `comfig.toml`.
|
||||||
|
The [list](layouts/_default/list.html) and [single](layouts/_default/single.html)
|
||||||
|
templates add the page title, to facilitate generating a unique title for every
|
||||||
|
page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### site-header
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This block is for providing a site banner that will appear at the top of every page,
|
||||||
|
and matches with the primary `<header>...</header>` definition from the semantic
|
||||||
|
organization, above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The default site-header block displays the [header.html](layouts/partials/header.html)
|
||||||
|
partial.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### site-menu
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This block is for providing a site-level navigation, which also appears at the
|
||||||
|
top of every page. It renders in the `<nav>...</nav>` block within the primary
|
||||||
|
header.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The default site-meny block displays the [site-menu](layouts/partials/site-menu.html)
|
||||||
|
partial.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### content-header
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This block is for providing a header for the specific page, matching with the
|
||||||
|
header block inside the `<main>....<\main>` definition from the semantic
|
||||||
|
organization. The [list](layouts/_default/list.html) and
|
||||||
|
[single](layouts/_default/single.html) templates display the page title as
|
||||||
|
a `<h1>...</h1>` level header.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### content
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This block is for the content of the page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For [list](layouts/_default/list.html) pages, the content from the section's
|
||||||
|
`_index.md` will be rendered, followed by a list of all of the pages within
|
||||||
|
the section, using the [summary](layouts/_default/summary.html) template.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For [single](layouts/_default/single.html) pages, the page content will be
|
||||||
|
rendered inside an `<article>...</article>` block element.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### content-footer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This block provides a footer for the page, which renders within the
|
||||||
|
`<footer></footer>` block at the end of the `<main></main>` section.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Default content-footer definitions are not yet implemented.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### footer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This block is for the site footer that appears at the end of every pages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The default footer block displays the [footer.html](layouts/partials/footer.html)
|
||||||
|
partial.
