# Terminimal
[![Build Status](https://github.com/pawroman/zola-theme-terminimal/actions/workflows/pages/pages-build-deployment/badge.svg)](https://github.com/pawroman/zola-theme-terminimal/actions/workflows/pages/pages-build-deployment)

See the live demo (of the default configuration) here:
https://pawroman.github.io/zola-theme-terminimal/
Tested with Zola v0.19.2.
Please note that earlier (and older) versions might not work because of breaking changes across Zola versions.
#### Fork disclaimer
This theme is a fork (not a port) of "Terminal" Hugo theme
by Radosław Kozieł (aka. panr):
https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal
Many thanks for that outstanding original theme, Radek!
For more information about this fork and the differences to the original theme, please see:
Changes compared to the original theme below.
## Versioning
This theme used to be non-versioned, e.g. you'd pull the master branch, and occasionally new features or fixes would
be released.
Starting from version v1.0.0, the project adopted [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
Please check the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/pawroman/zola-theme-terminimal/releases) to see a change log
and work out if there's any breaking changes.
## How to start
Option A: clone the theme directly into your Zola site folder:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/pawroman/zola-theme-terminimal.git themes/terminimal
```
Option B: include it as a git submodule (it's better if you plan to use CI builders):
```
$ git submodule add https://github.com/pawroman/zola-theme-terminimal.git themes/terminimal
```
Then in your `config.toml` set:
```toml
theme = "terminimal"
# Sass compilation is required
compile_sass = true
```
Also see the Zola documentation on using themes:
https://www.getzola.org/documentation/themes/installing-and-using-themes/
## Shortcodes
The theme adds two custom shortcodes related to image handling.
### `image`
Used to show images.
Required arguments:
- **`src`**
Optional arguments:
- **`alt`**
- **`position`** (center \[default\] | left | right)
- **`style`**
Example:
```
{{/* image(src="/img/hello.png", alt="Hello Friend",
position="left", style="border-radius: 8px;") */}}
```
### `figure`
Same as `image`, but with a few extra optional arguments:
- **`caption`** (supports markdown)
- **`caption_position`** (center \[default\] | left | right)
- **`caption_style`**
Example:
```
{{/* figure(src="http://rustacean.net/assets/rustacean-flat-gesture.png",
style="width: 25%;",
position="right",
caption_position="left",
caption="**Ferris**, the (unofficial) Rust mascot",
caption_style="font-style: italic;") */}}
```
## OpenGraph
To add an image to a post, set the `og_image` extra option to the desired image
in the same directory of the markdown file:
```toml
[extra]
og_image = "colocated_image.png"
```
Additionally, for the section pages and for posts to have a fallback image, add
`default_og_image` to the `[extra]` section:
```toml
[extra]
default_og_image = "static/ocean.jpg"
```
## Configuration
### Only show the post's description
On each post you can specify the following:
```toml
description = "test description"
[extra]
show_only_description = true
```
This will render `test description` under this
particular post on the homepage instead of a summary.
### Colors
Both the accent colors and background colors are
configurable.
By default, both accent and background are set
to `blue`.
To configure menu, add this in `[extra]` section
of your `config.toml`:
```toml
[extra]
# One of: blue, green, orange, pink, red.
# Defaults to blue.
# Append -light for light themes, e.g. blue-light
# Or append -auto, e.g. blue-auto
accent_color = "green"
# One of: blue, dark, green, orange, pink, red, light, auto
# Enabling dark background will also modify primary font color to be darker.
# Defaults to accent color (or, if not accent color specified, to blue).
background_color = "dark"
```
### Logo text and link
You can set the "logo" text and what it links to,
by modifying `config.toml` like so:
```toml
[extra]
# The logo text - defaults to "Terminimal theme"
logo_text = "My blog"
# The logo link - defaults to base_url.
logo_home_link = "/take/me/away!"
```
### Author and copyright
You can set the footer's copyright author name like this:
```toml
[extra]
# Author name: when specified, modifies the default
# copyright text. Apart from author, it will
# contain current year and a link to the theme.
author = "My Name"
```
If you don't like the default copyright text,
you can set it to completely custom HTML:
```toml
[extra]
# Copyright text in HTML format. If specified,
# entirely replaces default copyright and author.
copyright_html = "My custom&nbsp;<b>copyright</b>"
```
### Menu
The menu is optional, static (all items are always shown,
no matter what the screen size) and fully user-configurable.
To configure menu, add this in `[extra]` section
of your `config.toml`:
```toml
[extra]
# menu is enabled by adding menu_items (optional)
menu_items = [
# each of these is optional, name and url are required
# $BASE_URL is going to be substituted by base_url from configuration
{name = "blog", url = "$BASE_URL"},
# tags should only be enabled if you have "tags" taxonomy
# see documentation below for more details
{name = "tags", url = "$BASE_URL/tags"},
{name = "archive", url = "$BASE_URL/archive"},
{name = "about me", url = "$BASE_URL/about"},
# set newtab to true to make the link open in new tab
{name = "github", url = "url-to-your-github", newtab = true},
]
```
### Tags
The theme optionally supports tags. To enable them, create
a "tags" taxonomy in your `config.toml`:
```toml
taxonomies = [
{name = "tags"},
]
```
Enabling tags will create a new `/tags` page, and
cause them to show up in `archive` section. Note
that you still need to create a menu link to the tags
page manually.
### Pagination
Pagination is fully supported for post list (main site)
and intra-post (you can navigate to earlier and later posts).
To make sure pagination works properly, you must first configure
it in `content/_index.md`:
```
+++
# number of pages to paginate by
paginate_by = 2
# sorting order for pagination
sort_by = "date"
+++
```
Then, tweak the theme's pagination config in `config.toml`:
```toml
[extra]
# Whether to show links to earlier and later posts
# on each post page (defaults to true).
enable_post_view_navigation = true
# The text shown at the bottom of a post,
# before earlier/later post links.
# Defaults to "Thanks for reading! Read other posts?"
post_view_navigation_prompt = "Read more"
```
### Language code
Internationalization / translation is not supported
but you can set the HTML language code for your
site:
```toml
default_language = "en"
```
### Hack font subset
By default, the theme uses a mixed subset of the Hack font.
Normal weight font uses full character set
(for Unicode icons and special symbols), but all others
(bold, italic etc) use a limited subset.
This results in much smaller transfer sizes, but the subset
might not contain all the Unicode characters you need.
You can enable full unicode support in `config.toml`:
```toml
[extra]
# Use full Hack character set, not just a subset.
# Switch this to true if you need full unicode support.
# Defaults to false.
use_full_hack_font = true
```
Also see [Hack's docs](https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack/blob/master/docs/WEBFONT_USAGE.md).
### Favicon
The theme supports adding a global favicon (applies to
all pages) to the site:
```toml
# Optional: Global favicon URL and mimetype.
# Mimetype defaults to "image/x-icon".
# The URL should point at a file located
# in your site's "static" directory.
favicon = "/favicon.png"
favicon_mimetype = "image/png"
```
### Page titles
The theme allows you to configure how the page titles (the `<title>` elements) are rendered.
Use `"combined"` to render titles as `"Page title | Main title"`.
```toml
# Optional: Set how <title> elements are rendered.
# Values:
# - "main_only" -- only the main title (`config.title`) is rendered.
# - "page_only" -- only the page title (if defined) is rendered,
# falling back to `config.title` if not defined or empty.
# - "combined" -- combine like so: "page_title | main_title",
# or if page_title is not defined or empty, fall back to `main_title`
#
# Note that the main (index) page only has the main title.
page_titles = "combined"
```
All the configuration options are also described in
[`config.toml`](../master/config.toml).
## Extending
Each of the templates defines named blocks, so
it should be quite easy to customize the most common things.
For example, if you want to add extra `<meta>` tags to the
base template, `index.html`, create file like this in `templates/index.html`:
```html
{%/* extends "terminimal/templates/index.html" */%}
{%/* block extra_head */%}
<meta name="description" content="My awesome website"/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Hacking,Programming,Ranting"/>
{%/* endblock */%}
```

blue (default), green, orange, pink, red.
