amberterm

A minimal, monospaced, terminal style theme for Hugo. Creates HTML as well as Gemini files.

amberterm is based on smol which is based on Blank created by Vimux.

All code to generate Gemini pages have been taken from the following pages:

• https://sylvaindurand.org/gemini-and-hugo/

Installation

In your Hugo site themes directory, run:

git submodule add https://codeberg.org/mclemens/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 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!")
