Features

Partials

The following partials are meant to be overridden:

• post_meta.html: Render meta-data under a post title. We have not yet defined this template, but you can use it to add author information, date, etc.
• footer_actions: This appears in the right-hand side of the footer. E.g., numpy.org uses it for mailing list subscriptions.

Shortcut list

The depths of the shortcut list on the left of each post can be controlled by setting the shortcutDepth parameter in the post preamble. It defaults to 2.

Page information

Each page should contain a summary in the preamble, otherwise the site description is provided as metadata.

Code styling

To enable code styling, add the following to your config file:

markup:
  highlight:
    noClasses: false

The default theme is Witch Hazel, but with a blue background. To use a different theme, generate a new stylesheet using:

hugo gen chromastyles --style=monokai > /assets/css/code-highlight.css

You can replace monokai with any of the themes supported by Chroma, as listed in their gallery.

Then, use fenced code blocks and remember to specify the language:

```python
def foo(x):
    return x**2
```

News

The first post from /content/en/news will be highlighted on the front page. If you don’t want that, remove the /content/en/news folder.

By default, news items link to the /news category page (which lists all news items). You can override that by setting newsLink in the preamble of any news post.

Single page news

If you prefer to list all your news items on one page, you may do so in /news.md, instead of adding posts to /news. Set the newsHeader parameter in the preamble of that document to populate the banner on the front page.

Team gallery

The tools/team_query.py file gets a list of team members from GitHub. To use it, you will need to set the GH_TOKEN environment variable to a personal access token.

The team is rendered using shortcodes (team, team_member).

Example usage:

python team_query.py --org scientific-python --team spec-steering-committee --title "Spec Steering Committee" > content/en/teams/spec-steering-committee.md

we generate a raw HTML gallery, and provide a shortcode (include-html) for pulling it in anywhere on the site.

Analytics

The theme supports analytics through Plausible, which can be self-hosted or paid-for at https://plausible.io/. To enable Plausible analytics, add to your config.yaml:

params:
  plausible:
    dataDomain: your-domain.org
    javaScript: https://your.plausible.io/javascript/path.js

By default, javaScript points to the server at https://views.scientific-python.org. Contact the Scientific Python team to have your analytics hosted there.
