Features
- Layout
- Advanced user-friendly design for technical publishing. Different kinds of pages all reside on the same layout grid and you can publish everything with Markdown:
Large documentation
news stream
blog postings
author pages
in-depth articles (coming)
- Improved styling
- Many Markdown attributes and a few custom shortcodes to enhance the style on your pages.
- Light and dark modes follow your OS settings.
- Icons
- Google’s Material Symbols and Simple Icons for brands can be included simply by name. Material Symbols show automatically in all navigational elements of the documentation. All icon sets can also be used as Markdown content with shortcodes.
- Images
- Provide only one large original image and let Hugo & Perplex handle the generation of all the various sizes for optimized web display and meta tags.
- Navigation
- All elements needed to sift through your information as quickly as possible are auto-generated:
Site navigation
Page-to-page
Breadcrumbs
Taxonomies
- Full-text search
- The theme is ready for Pagefind, a very fast search library for self-hosting.
- Efficiency
- Sites built with this theme are extremely fast (check Lighthouse). Images are optimized and get loaded lazily, fonts are split into small packages, and icons are embedded inline.
- The build process is also as fast, cost-effective, and energy-efficient as it gets — thanks to Hugo.
