## Installation

In your Hugo site `themes` directory, run:

```
git submodule add https://git.qrz.is/clemens/amberterm
```

Next, open `config.toml` in the base of the Hugo site and ensure the theme option is set to `amberterm`.

```
theme = "amberterm"
```

Lastly, add the following lines to your `config.toml` to set site parameters and make use of all the menu entries in the header and footer sections if you need them.

```
# Parameters
[params]
    subtitle = "Your blog subtitle goes here!"
    dateFmt = "02.01.2006 15:04"

# Header
[menu]
  [[menu.main]]
        identifier = "posts"
        name = "Posts"
        url = "/posts/"
        weight = 1 

  [[menu.main]]
        identifier = "categories"
        name = "Categories"
        url = "/categories/"
        weight = 2 

  [[menu.main]]
        identifier = "tags"
        name = "Tags"
        url = "/tags/"
        weight = 3

# Footer
  [[menu.footer]]
        name = "Github"
        url = "https://github.com/example"
        weight = 1 

    [[menu.footer]]
        name = "Mastodon"
        url = "https://example.com/@user"
        weight = 2 

    [[menu.footer]]
        name = "Imprint"
        url = "/imprint"
        weight = 3 

```

If you'd like to automatically generate a gemini capsule, please add the following to your config.toml:

```
[mediaTypes]
[mediaTypes."text/gemini"]
    suffixes = ["gmi"]
[mediaTypes."application/atom"]
    suffixes= ["xml"]


[outputFormats]
[outputFormats.Gemini]
    name = "GEMINI"
    isPlainText = true
    isHTML = false
    mediaType = "text/gemini"
    protocol = "gemini://"
    permalinkable = true
    path ="gemini/"
[outputFormats.gemini_atom]
    name = "GEMINI_ATOM"
    isPlainText = true
    isHTML = false
    baseName = "atom"
    path = "gemini/"
    protocol = "gemini://"
    mediaType = "application/atom"

[outputs]
  home = ["HTML", "GEMINI_ATOM", "GEMINI"]
  page = ["HTML", "GEMINI"]
```

You probably want to change the parameter "path" which is the directory where the gemini files will be written to.

For more information read the official [quick start guide](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/) of Hugo.

## Optional features
### Custom copyright text
Add `copyright = "Your text here"` - in the config.toml to change the copyright notice in the footer.

### Image captions
You can add captions to images (technically using `<figcaption>` HTML tags) by adding titles, like so: `![Alt text here](/path/to/image.png "Put your caption here!")`
