jekyll-theme ============ [![CI](https://github.com/egor-tensin/jekyll-theme/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/egor-tensin/jekyll-theme/actions/workflows/ci.yml) My [Jekyll] theme. I use it for [egor-tensin.github.io], [blog], [sorting-algorithms]. [Jekyll]: https://jekyllrb.com/ [egor-tensin.github.io]: https://egor-tensin.github.io/ [blog]: https://egor-tensin.github.io/blog/ [sorting-algorithms]: https://egor-tensin.github.io/sorting-algorithms/ Preview ------- An example website can be viewed at https://egor-tensin.github.io/jekyll-theme/. Configuration ------------- The complete list of configuration options follows. Put it in \_config.yml and adjust how you see fit. ``` settings: project: name: Test description: This is a test project license: MIT License license_file: LICENSE.txt author: name: John Doe email: John.Doe@example.com navbar: hide: false ``` Features -------- ### Layouts * `plain`: navbar at the top + footer at the bottom * `default`: same as plain, but with a sidebar on the right. * `page`: same as default, but with the page's header. * `post`: same as default, but with the post's header and publication date. ### Navbar Hide the navbar by setting either `site.settings.navbar.hide` or `page.navbar.hide` to `true`. Put a page on the navbar by defining setting `page.navbar.link` to `true` or a custom HTML string. Pages are sorted in the ascending order of `page.navbar.priority`. If a page on the navbar is paginated, set `page.navbar.paginated` to `true` so that it doesn't appear two or more times. You can add a glyphicon to the navbar link by settings `page.navbar.icon` to something like `home`, `envelope`, etc. ### Post feed See [feed/index.html] for an example of how to easily create a paginated post feed. Basically, just include posts/posts.html. [feed/index.html]: feed/index.html ### Category pages See [life/index.html] or [work/index.html] for examples of how to create category pages, with a list of posts belonging to the category. Basically, just include categories/category.html and set the `category` parameter to the category's name. [life/index.html]: life/index.html [work/index.html]: work/index.html If you want to create a page with a list of all categories and the posts belonging to them, see [archive/index.html] for an example. Simply including categories/categories.html should do the job. [archive/index.html]: archive/index.html ### Code snippets See [this post][snippets] for an example of how to conveniently embed code snippets in your pages. Basically, you need to put something like this in the front matter: [snippets]: _posts/2021-04-09-snippets.md ``` snippets_root_directory: snippets snippets_language: c++ snippets: hello: - hello.hpp - hello.cpp world: - world.hpp - world.cpp ``` And then you can just format an entire section of snippets using a single `include`: ``` {% include snippets/section.html section_id='hello' %} ``` The line above would output both hello.hpp and hello.cpp to the page. Code snippets can be hidden in collapsible panels. See [this post][collapsible] for an example. [collapsible]: _posts/2021-04-10-collapsible.md ### Typesetting math [MathJax] can be used to typeset mathematics using LaTeX. To use MathJax, set `mathjax` to `true` in page's front matter. Then you can do things like this: ``` This is an inline formula: $$y = kx + b$$. This is a formula in a separate block: $$ y = kx + b $$ ``` [MathJax]: https://www.mathjax.org/ Behind the scenes, Kramdown transforms these to `\(...\)` and `\[...\]` sequences, to be processed by MathJax. See [this post][mathjax post] for a usage example. [mathjax post]: _posts/2021-04-08-mathjax.md History ------- This theme wasn't built from the ground up, it's a product of concurrent evolution of my three Jekyll projects. At one point I got sick of the code duplication, so I just cloned the most feature-reached project into this repository (tagged `from_jekyll_project`), and removed everything that wasn't theme-related. Then I made some minor tweaks to make it work with the other two projects, and voilĂ ! I thought about several alternatives to cloning the whole repository. 1. Simply copying the latest versions of the relevant files would lose their history. 2. Heavily rewriting repository history using `git filter-branch` or something like this is painfully hard to get right for me. Development ----------- ### Bootstrap theme At one point I decided to bundle a modified version of Bootstrap 3.4 with the theme. One thing I found annoying about the unmodified Bootstrap is the small font size & the insanely large headers. I used the [customization tool] with a [custom config] to download a modified Boost version and included it in the assets/bootstrap directory. [customization tool]: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/customize/ [custom config]: assets/bootstrap/config.json TODO: port the theme to Bootstrap 4/5/whatever?
