    showTags = true  # show the Tags menu item; default true
    showRss = true  # show the link for the RSS feed; default true
    
    imageInArticlePreview = false  # show images in article preview; default false

    navtype = "standard"  # changes the style of the pagination, available styles are: "standard", "circle"
    fontFamily = "JetBrains Mono"  # changes the font, default "JetBrains Mono"
    contentWidth = "1000px"  # maximum width of the site content, css syntax

    discreteCards = false  # enable discrete card style; default false
    gridView = false  # show post list as a grid. goes well with discreteCards
    highlightBgColor = "#34363b";  # card and circle navigation background color for discrete card mode

    commento = "https://example.com/js/commento.js"

    # enable analytics using Plausible
    plausibleScriptUrl = "https://something.com/..."
    plausibleDomain = "gabmus.org"

    # the links array shows links with icons (if explicitly supported)
    # it's an array of arrays containing two strings: name and link
    # the supported icons are:
    #    gitlab
    #    gnome
    #    youtube
    #    email
    #    twitter
    #    instagram
    #    facebook
    #    github
    #    linkedin
    #    telegram
    #    phone
    #    rss
    links = [
        ["GitLab", "https://gitlab.com/gabmus"],
        ["GNOME", "https://gitlab.gnome.org/gabmus"],
        ["YouTube", "https://youtube.com/TechPillsNet"],
        ["Email", "mailto:gabmus@disroot.org"]
    ]

    # you can customize all of the colors in this theme
    # the values shown are the defaults
    backgroundColor = "#242629"
    foregroundColor = "white"
    dimForegroundColor = "#bababa"
    strokeColor = "#4f4f4f"
    accentColor = "#db5793"

    # redirect to baseURL if current URL host doesn't match
    # useful if deploying in gitlab pages with custom domain and don't want
    # the username.gitlab.io/website url to persist
    forceRedirect = false

Inject custom content

Ficurinia supports injecting custom content into the theme. There are several files you can create in layouts/partials/inject that will be included inside the theme in different places.

Partial	Placement
layouts/partials/inject/body.html	Before closing the body tag
layouts/partials/inject/content-after.html	After a post or page content
layouts/partials/inject/content-before.html	Before a post or page content
layouts/partials/inject/footer.html	At the beginning of the footer
layouts/partials/inject/head.html	Before closing the head tag
layouts/partials/inject/header-after.html	Before closing the header
layouts/partials/inject/header-before.html	At the beginning of the header

Does Ficurinia mean anything?

It's Sicilian for Indian fig, also known as prickly pear cactus.
