Features

Bootstrap V4

Update from Bootstrap 3 to 4

Font Awesome

Latest Font Awesome icons

Progressive Enhancement

Disabling Javascript should retain the same experience.

Powerful Styling

Using the power of SASS to power our build pipeline. All major dependencies have .scss support.

Modern Build Pipeline

Without Jekyll's Asset pipeline, a Hugo theme needs a build system. I opted for gulp.js

Emoji 😎

Support for emojis found here: Emoji Cheatsheet

Available for:

• ✅ tags

• ✅ titles

• ✅ posts / .Content

Syntax Highlighting

Rather then using a JS library like hightlight.js I opt for server-side rendering with Pygments to keep in line with progressive enhamcements. Here is Hugo's opinion on the matter:

The advantage of server side is that it doesn’t depend on a JavaScript library and consequently works very well when read from an RSS feed.

I would argue site usability / robustness far out weighs build times.

Google Analytics

Configure Google Analytics with `GoogleAnalytics`

Table of Contents

Headings are resolved into a styleable Table of Contents

Enabled via toc in your front matter:

toc: true

• true = show table of contents
• false = hide table of contents

Install

Hugo Module - Preferred

Add Hugo Now as a Module:

# pygments
PygmentsCodeFences = true
PygmentsStyle = "pygments"

[module]
  [[module.imports]]
    path = "github.com/mikeblum/hugo-now"

Update to the latest version:

hugo mod get -u github.com/mikeblum/hugo-now

Git Submodule

Add Hugo Now as a submodule:

git submodule add git@github.com:mikeblum/hugo-now.git themes/hugo-now

Your .gitmodules should now contain:

[submodule "themes/hugo-now"]
	path = themes/hugo-now
	url = git@github.com:mikeblum/hugo-now.git

Remember to commit your .gitmodules

Configure

config.toml

baseurl = "http://example.org/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "My New Hugo Site"

# use latest
[module]
  [[module.imports]]
    path = "github.com/mikeblum/hugo-now"

# or use local fork at themes/hugo-now
[module]
  replacements = "github.com/mikeblum/hugo-now -> ../.."
  [[module.imports]]
    path = "github.com/mikeblum/hugo-now"



# analytics
# deprecated
GoogleAnalytics = "UA-XXXXXX"
UmamiAnalytics = "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

[taxonomies]
  category = "categories"
  tag = "tags"

[params]
  description = "Hugo port of Jekyll Now"
  author = "Hugo Now"
  keywords = ["hugo-now", "hugo"]
  avatar = "/images/hugo.png"
  displayauthor = false
  # pygments
  PygmentsUseClasses = true
  PygmentsCodeFences = true
  # pagination
  paginate = 10
  paginatePath = "page"

Content

• Use SVG rather than PNG / JPG
  • they style better and take less bandwidth
• Pygments styles use SASS
  • PygmentsStyle is configured by changing the sass/style.scss
  • Defaults to default Pygments style - see Pygments Styles
