# Tufte Hugo Theme
[![Contributor Covenant](https://img.shields.io/badge/Contributor%20Covenant-2.0-4baaaa.svg)](code_of_conduct.md)
## History of this project
Hugo-Tufte is a minimalist blog-like theme for the
[static site generator Hugo](https://gohugo.io) that
attempts to be a faithful implementation of the
[Tufte-css](https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css) project. The current version supports mathematical typesetting via [KaTeX](https://katex.org/).
- The original repo: [shawnohare/hugo-tufte](https://github.com/shawnohare/hugo-tufte)
- Second repo: [slashformotion/hugo-tufte](https://github.com/slashformotion/hugo-tufte)
- This ([loikein/hugo-tufte](https://github.com/loikein/hugo-tufte)) is now the _de facto_ third repo although my original intension was only to make a few tweaks.
## Quickstart
### Prerequisite: Hugo Extended
You'll need to install Hugo Extended for this theme to test it locally, since this theme uses SCSS.
- On Windows:
- Using [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/):
```shell
choco install hugo-extended # remember, you might need admin privs
```
- On macOS:
+ Using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
```shell
brew install hugo
```
### Check out the example site
```shell
git clone https://github.com/loikein/hugo-tufte.git
cd hugo-tufte/exampleSite
hugo server --buildDrafts --disableFastRender
```
Then open `localhost:1313` or wherever it says in browser.
The showcase posts are:
- `The big old test page`
- `Tufte CSS`
### For a new site
```shell
hugo new site <your-site-name>
cd <your-site-name>/themes/
git clone https://github.com/loikein/hugo-tufte.git
```
Add `theme: 'hugo-tufte'` to your `config.yaml` to let your site know to actually use _this_ theme, specifically.
Then run `hugo server --buildDrafts --disableFastRender` and open `localhost:1313` or wherever it says in browser.
## Features
### Math
In this version, I use [Yihui Xie's method](https://yihui.org/en/2018/07/latex-math-markdown/) to support (almost) seamless LaTeX rendering with [KaTeX](https://katex.org/).
For usage and examples, refer to [./exampleSite/content/posts/tufte-features.md ](https://github.com/loikein/hugo-tufte/blob/main/exampleSite/content/posts/tufte-features.md).
Downside: LaTeX in post title is no longer supported.
