## Features
* Clean simple design
* Mobile friendly
* Customizable
* Designed to not interfere with main website
* Zero initial configuration


## Installation
Navigate to your hugo website root and run:
```
git clone git@github.com:alex-shpak/hugo-book.git themes/book
```

Then run hugo (or set `theme: book` in configuration file)
```

```


## Menu
### File tree menu (default)
By default theme will render pages from `content/docs` section as menu in a tree structure.  
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
```

Create file `content/docs/menu/index.md` with content
```md
---
headless: true
---

- [Book Example](/docs/)
  - [Page One](/docs/page-one)
  - [Page Two](/docs/page-two)
```

And Enable it by settings `BookMenuBundle: /docs/menu` in Site configuration

- [Example menu](exampleSite/content/menu/index.md)
- [Example config file](exampleSite/config.yml)
- [Leaf bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/)

### Site Configuration
There are few configuration options you can add to your `config.yml|json|toml` file
```yaml

  # (Optional, default true) Show or hide table of contents globally
  # You can also specify this parameter per page in front matter
