zola-pickes

Pickles is a clean, responsive blog theme for Zola based on the Hugo theme with the same name.

Installation

First download this theme to your themes directory:

$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/lukehsiao/zola-pickles.git

and then enable it in your config.toml:

The theme requires putting the posts in the root of the content folder and to enable pagination, for example in content/_index.md.

KaTeX math formula support

This theme contains math formula support using KaTeX, which can be enabled by setting katex_enable = true in the extra section of config.toml.

After enabling this extension, the katex short code can be used in documents:

• {% katex(block=true) %}\KaTeX{% end %} to typeset a block of math formulas, similar to $$...$$ in LaTeX

Figure Shortcode

The figure shortcode is convenient for captioning figures.

{% figure(link="https://www.example.com/", src="https://www.example.com/img.jpeg", alt="sample alt text") %}
Your caption here.
{% end %}

Table Shortcode

The table shortcode is convenient for making mobile-friendly tables (centered with overflow scrollbar).

{% table() %}
| Item         | Price | # In stock |
| :----------- | ----: | ---------: |
| Juicy Apples |  1.99 |        739 |
| Bananas      |  1.89 |          6 |
{% end %}

Fontawesome

This theme includes fontawesome, so that fontawesome icons can be directly used.

Instant.page

The theme contains instant.page prefetching. This can be enabled by setting instantpage_enable = true in the extra section of config.toml.

Showing article summaries

By default, the theme will use the first 280 characters of your post as a summary, if a proper page summary using <!-- more --> is not provided. For more sensible summaries, we recommend using the manual more indicator.
