Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

You need static site generator (SSG) Zola installed in your machine to use this theme follow their guide on getting started.

Installation

Follow zola's guide on installing a theme. Make sure to add theme = "DeepThought" to your config.toml

Check zola version (only 0.9.0+) Just to double-check to make sure you have the right version. It is not supported to use this theme with a version under 0.9.0.

Usage

How to serve?

Go into your sites directory and type zola serve. You should see your new site at localhost:1111.

NOTE: you must provide the theme options variables in config.toml to serve a functioning site

Deployment

Zola already has great documentation for deploying to Netlify or Github Pages. I won't bore you with a regurgitated explanation.

Theme Options

 { code = "en", nav_items = [

Multilingual Navbar

If you want to have a multilingual navbar on your blog, you must add your new code language in the languages array in the config.toml file.

NOTE: Don't add you default language to this array

languages = [
    {code = "fr"}, 
    {code = "es"},
]

And then create and array of nav item for each language:

NOTE: Include your default language in this array

navbar_items = [
 { code = "en", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Home" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/posts", name = "Posts" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/docs", name = "Docs" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories" },
 ]},
 { code = "fr", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Connexion" },
 ]},
 { code = "es", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Publicationes" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Registrar" },
 ]}
]

KaTeX math formula support

This theme contains math formula support using KaTeX, which can be enabled by setting katex.enabled = true in the extra section +of config.toml:

[extra]
katex.enabled = true
katex.auto_render = true

After enabling this extension, the katex short code can be used in documents:

• {{ katex(body="\KaTeX") }} to typeset a math formula inlined into a text, similar to $...$ in LaTeX
• {% katex(block=true) %}\KaTeX{% end %} to typeset a block of math formulas, similar to $$...$$ in LaTeX

Automatic rendering without short codes

Optionally, \\( \KaTeX \\) / $ \KaTeX $ inline and \\[ \KaTeX \\] / $$ \KaTeX $$ block-style automatic rendering is also supported, if enabled in the config:

[extra]
katex.enabled = true
katex.auto_render = true
