Compose

Compose is a Hugo theme for documentation websites, inspired by forestry.io's docs page. The theme provides a simple navigation & structure.

Features

1. Docs
2. Gallery Support (via shortcode)
3. Native lazy loading of images

Installation

Install a recent release of the Hugo "extended" version; ideally versions >= 0.61.0. If you install from hugo releases page, download the _extended version, which supports sass.

ExampleSite

The exampleSite, as the theme's user guide.

This guide covers the necessary bits. As the project evolves, the userguide will get more comprehensive

You can use Hugo to generate and serve a local copy of the guide (also useful for testing local theme changes), making sure you have installed all the prerequisites listed above:

git clone --recurse-submodules --depth 1 https://github.com/onweru/compose.git
cd compose/exampleSite/
hugo server --themesDir ../..

Note that you need the themesDir flag when running Hugo because the site files are inside the theme repo.

How do I disable dark mode?

Under params add darkMode = false to your config.toml file. If your site is based on the exampleSite, the value is already included; you only need to uncomment it.

The user will still have the option to activate dark mode, if they so wish
