What Hugo-Book Theme Is Not#
Book theme is not trying to implement all features but to create a starting point. It is mostly feature complete and gets updated and improved to stay relevant with Hugo and modern web.
Probably fast#
Build on Hugo static site generator. “The world’s fastest framework for building websites”.
50% JS free#
All important features are working even with JavaScript disabled in browser, including interactive shortcodes.
Minimalistic#
For real, it is very minimalistic, black on white. No extra tools are needed to build the site, only Hugo. No heavy JS or CSS frameworks included.
Shortcodes#
Pretty good shortcodes are included to enhance markup files: Columns, Cards, Tabs, Images, Asciinema, KaTex, Mermaid and others.
Even more#
Do people actually read these? I thought it was just a visual filler. But there is full-text search and multi-language support.
Made to be extendable#
There are multiple points to inject own styles and templates to make your documentation your own.
