# hugo-theme-readable
|
|
|
|
Readable is a theme for the static-site generator [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) using the [readable.css](https://readable-css.freedomtowrite.org/) framework built by [Freedom to Write](https://freedomtowrite.org/).
|
|
|
|
Shoutout to [Benjamin Hollon](https://benjaminhollon.com/) for his amazing work building this CSS framework and making it so simple to use.
|
|
|
|
Want to check out a demo? (coming soon)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To add this theme to an existing Hugo site, start by adding this repo as a submodule in the site's themes folder.
|
|
|
|
`git submodule add https://codeberg.org/Freedom-to-Write/hugo-theme-readable themes/readable`
|
|
|
|
Then, update your config file to be using the new theme. For example, if you are using config.toml, the line should become:
|
|
|
|
`theme = 'readable'`
|
|
|
|
If you don't have an existing site, feel free to use the provided [starter template](https://codeberg.org/Freedom-to-Write/hugo-starter-readable) to quickly get your website online.
|
|
|
|

## Shortcodes
|
|
|
|
### aside
|
|
|
|
You can use the `aside` shortcode to signify content that is slightly off-topic in regard to the rest of the post.
|
|
|
|
Here's how it compares to a blockquote:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
> This is a blockquote.
|
|
>
|
|
> This is a default **markdown** element and supports formatting inside it.
|
|
|
|
{{< aside >}}
|
|
This is an aside element.
|
|
|
|
You can use **markdown** formatting inside it.
|
|
{{</ aside >}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above code generates the following output:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### video
|
|
|
|
You can use the `video` shortcode to embed a video player in your post.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
{{< video source="https://test-videos.co.uk/vids/bigbuckbunny/mp4/av1/1080/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_5MB.mp4" type="video/mp4" caption="Of course it's Big Buck Bunny!" >}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sources can be remote or static content from your website. You can find the supported file types [here](https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp#table1).
