# A Basic Hugo Theme
# A Hugo Theme Using HTML5 Semantics and IndieWeb Integration
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.
This theme is a fork of [My Basic Theme](https://git.thecorams.net/kevin/basic-theme),
adding additional HTML5 semantics, a more responsive site design, and
[IndieWeb](https://indieweb.org/) [microformats](http://microformats.org/wiki/Main_Page).
## Getting Started

Installing the theme as a git submodule is the preferred way.

## 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 HTML character escape
sequences such as `©` as well as markdwn formatting and links.

### IndieWeb / IndieAuth Identities
The theme includes support for adding `rel="me"` links to the HTML head of
every page. Such links help tie together the sites one owns, as well as
provide support for [IndieAuth](https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/)
authentication.
These links can be configured by including one or more `params.Identity`
blocks:
```toml
[[params.Identity]]
type = "some-type"
value = "identity"
authn = false
```
The current set of known types are:
- Email
- The `value` should be a valid e-mail address which could be used for
- IndieAuth authentication
- GitHub
- The `value` should be a valid GitHub user name
- GitLab
- The `value` should be a valid GitLab user name
- Twitter
- The `value` should be a valid Twitter user name
- MicroBlog
- The `value` should be a valid MicroBlog user name
- PGP
- The `value` should be a valid URL to the site owner's public PGP key
The IndieAuth standard allows the site author to specify which of the
`rel="me"` links should be preferred for authentication. If the `authn`
parameter for an identity is set to `true`, the link will be generated
as `rel="me authn"`. As explained on
[https://indielogin.com/setup](https://indielogin.com/setup)
> If any of your `rel="me"` links also include `authn` in the list of rels,
> then IndieLogin.com will only use the links with `authn`, and will no longer
> consider your plain `rel="me"` links as authentication options.
### IndieWeb h-card
The theme includes a "card" for displaying the site author's photo (or a logo
image for the site), the author's name, and the author's rough location. The
data in the card is marked up with [h-card](http://microformats.org/wiki/h-card)
microformats, for integration with IndieWeb-aware sites and tools.
```toml
# Configuration Parameters for IndieWeb h-card
[params.Card]
Author = "Site Author Name"
Photo = "images/picture-o.svg"
Locality = "City/Town/Village"
Region = "State/County/Province"
Country = "Country Name"
```
#### Social Network Links
In addition to the h-card properties, the theme will render a ribbon of
icon links to other sites beneath the author's location information. The theme
comes bundled with [Fork Awesome v1.1.7](https://forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/).
Any of the icons provided can easily be used. For example, to add a link to
one's Twitter profile, add a configuration block that uses the Fork Awesome
twitter icon:
```toml
[[params.Social]]
profile = "https://twitter.com/twitter-user-name"
icon = "fa fa-twitter"
```
The icon/font library being used can be overriden by creating a site-specific
`icons.html` partial. Font Awesome, Fork Awesome, Fontello, and many other
icon/font libraries all support embedding an icon using similar CSS class names,
which can be used in the `icon = "...."` configuration.
In addition to the `profile` and `icon` pairs, there is also support for e-mail
links and PGP key file links with the PGP fingerprint as a toolip:
```toml
[[params.Social]]
email = "email@example.com"
icon = "fa fa-envelope-o"
[[params.Social]]
publicKey = "pgp_key_file.txt"
fingerprint = "AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD"
icon = "fa fa-key"
```
