# Tufte Hugo Theme
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://githubcom/edwardtufte/tufte-css) project.
It supports mathematical typesetting via [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org).
By utilizing copious partial templates the theme is largely customizable.
## Site Parameters
The site specific parameters that this theme :wrecognizes are:
- `subtitle` string: This is displayed under the main title.
- `showPoweredBy` boolean: if true, display a shoutout to Hugo and this theme.
- `copyrightHolder` string: Inserts the value in the default copyright notice.
- `copyright` string: Custom copyright notice.
## Page Parameters
- `hideDate` boolean: if true, do not display a page date. When `meta` is set to
true, `hideDate` takes greater precedence.
- `hideReadTime` boolean: if true, do not display the page's reading time
estimate. When `meta` is set to true, `hideReadTime` takes greater precedence.
- `math` boolean: if true, try to render the page's LaTeX code using MatheJax. The
theme follows the conventions in [Hugo's MathJax tutorial].
- `meta` boolean: if true, display page meta-data author, date, categories provided
these page parameters exist and are not overridden. Content in the `/post` directory,
(i.e., pages of type "post") ignore this parameter.
- `toc` boolean: if true, display the table of contents for the page.
## Shortcodes
This theme provides the following shortcodes.
- `blockquote`
- Description: Wrap text in a blockquote and insert optional
`cite` or `footer` metadata.
- Example:
```html
{{% blockquote cite="www.shawnohare.com" footer="Shawn" %}}
There is nothing more beautiful than an elegant mathematical proof.
{{% /blockquote %}}`
```
- `marginnote`
- Description: Wrap text to produce a numberless margin note.
- Usage: Accepts a required positional argument that is the margin note id.
`{{% marginnote "<margin note id>"" %}}...{{% /marginnote %}}`
- Example: `{{% marginnote "mn-example" %}}Some marginnote{{% /marginnote%}}`
- `section`
- Description: This shortcode is provided as a work-around for wrapping
complex blocks of markdown in section tags.
- Usage: `{{< section "<begin || end>" >}}` map respectively to
`<section>` and `</section>` tags.
- Example: `{{< section "begin" >}}` inserts a `<section>` tag, while
`{{<section "end" >}}` inserts the closing `</section>` tag.
- `sidenote`
- Description: Wrap text to produce an automatically numbered sidenote.
- Usage: identical to `marginnote`.
Accepts a required positional argument that is the side note id.
`{{% sidenote "<side note id>"" %}}...{{% /sidenote %}}`
- Example: `{{% sidenote "sn-example" %}}Some sidenote{{% /sidenote %}}`
## Templates
TODO
- [ ] Describe the role of each template file, as commenting within the files
themselves seems to break the templates.
