You can set `title` and `weight` in front matter of pages to adjust order and titles in menu. ### Leaf bundle menu You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's `index.md` as menu. Given you have this file structure ``` ├── content │ ├── docs │ │ ├── page-one.md │ │ └── page-two.md │ └── posts │ ├── post-one.md │ └── post-two.md ``` Create file `content/docs/menu/index.md` with content ```md +++ headless = true +++ - [Book Example]({{< relref "/docs/" >}}) - [Page One]({{< relref "/docs/page-one" >}}) - [Page Two]({{< relref "/docs/page-two" >}}) - [Blog]({{< relref "/posts" >}}) ``` And Enable it by settings `BookMenuBundle: /menu` in Site configuration - [Example menu](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/content/menu/index.md) - [Example config file](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/config.yaml) - [Leaf bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/) ## Blog Simple blog supported for section `posts`. Blog is not primary use case so book theme so it has only minimal features ## Configuration ### Site Configuration There are few configuration options you can add to your `config.toml` file. You can also see `yaml` example [here](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/config.yaml). ```toml # (Optional) Set Google Analytics if you use it to track your website. # Always put it on the top of the configuration file, otherwise it won't work googleAnalytics = "UA-XXXXXXXXX-X" # (Optional) If you provide a Disqus shortname, comments will be enabled on # all pages. disqusShortname = "my-site" # (Optional) Set this to true if you use capital letters in file names disablePathToLower = true # (Optional) Set this to true to enable 'Last Modified by' date and git author # information on 'doc' type pages. enableGitInfo = true # (Optional) Theme is intended for documentation use, therefore it doesn't render taxonomy. # You can remove related files with config below disableKinds = ['taxonomy', 'taxonomyTerm'] [params] # (Optional, default true) Controls table of contents visibility on right side of pages. # Start and end levels can be controlled with markup.tableOfContents setting. # You can also specify this parameter per page in front matter. BookToC = true # (Optional, default none) Set the path to a logo for the book. If the logo is # /static/logo.png then the path would be 'logo.png' BookLogo = 'logo.png' # (Optional, default none) Set leaf bundle to render as side menu # When not specified file structure and weights will be used BookMenuBundle = '/menu' # (Optional, default docs) Specify section of content to render as menu # You can also set value to "*" to render all sections to menu BookSection = 'docs' # Set source repository location. # Used for 'Last Modified' and 'Edit this page' links. BookRepo = 'https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book' # Enable 'Edit this page' links for 'doc' page type. # Disabled by default. Uncomment to enable. Requires 'BookRepo' param. # Path must point to 'content' directory of repo. BookEditPath = 'edit/master/exampleSite/content' # (Optional, default January 2, 2006) Configure the date format used on the pages # - In git information # - In blog posts BookDateFormat = 'Jan 2, 2006' # (Optional, default true) Enables search function with flexsearch, # Index is built on fly, therefore it might slowdown your website. # Configuration for indexing can be adjusted in i18n folder per language. BookSearch = true # (Optional, default true) Enables comments template on pages # By default partals/docs/comments.html includes Disqus template # See https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/#configure-disqus # Can be overwritten by same param in page frontmatter BookComments = true # /!\ This is an experimental feature, might be removed or changed at any time # (Optional, experimental, default false) Enables portable links and link checks in markdown pages. # Portable links meant to work with text editors and let you write markdown without {{< relref >}} shortcode # Theme will print warning if page referenced in markdown does not exists. BookPortableLinks = true ``` ### Multi-Language Support Theme supports Hugo's [multilingual mode](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/), just follow configuration guide there. You can also tweak search indexing configuration per language in `i18n` folder. ### Page Configuration You can specify additional params per page in front matter ```toml # Set type to 'docs' if you want to render page outside of configured section or if you render section other than 'docs' type = 'docs' # Set page weight to re-arrange items in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set) weight = 10 # (Optional) Set to mark page as flat section in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set) bookFlatSection = true # (Optional, Experimental) Set to hide nested sections or pages at that level. Works only with file-tree menu mode bookCollapseSection = true # (Optional) Set true to hide page or section from side menu (if BookMenuBundle not set) bookHidden = true # (Optional) Set 'false' to hide ToC from page bookToC = true # (Optional) If you have enabled BookComments for the site, you can disable it for specific pages. bookComments = true ``` ### Partials There are few empty partials you can override in `layouts/partials/` | Partial | Placement | | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | `layouts/partials/docs/inject/head.html` | Before closing `` tag | | `layouts/partials/docs/inject/body.html` | Before closing `` tag | | `layouts/partials/docs/inject/footer.html` | After page footer content | | `layouts/partials/docs/inject/menu-before.html` | At the beginning of `
