### Built With
* [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/)
* [Bulma](https://bulma.io/)
## Getting Started
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.
### Prerequisites
You need static site generator (SSG) [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/) installed in your machine to use this theme follow their guide on [getting started](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/overview/).
### Installation
Follow zola's guide on [installing a theme](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/themes/installing-and-using-themes/).
Make sure to add `theme = "DeepThought"` to your `config.toml`
**Check zola version (only 0.9.0+)**
Just to double-check to make sure you have the right version. It is not supported to use this theme with a version under 0.9.0.
## Usage
### How to serve?
Go into your sites directory and type `zola serve`. You should see your new site at `localhost:1111`.
**NOTE**: you must provide the theme options variables in `config.toml` to serve a functioning site
### Deployment
[Zola](https://www.getzola.org) already has great documentation for deploying to [Netlify](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/deployment/netlify/) or [Github Pages](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/deployment/github-pages/). I won't bore you with a regurgitated explanation.
### Theme Options
```toml
navbar_items = [
{ code = "en", nav_items = [
{ url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Home" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/posts", name = "Posts" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/docs", name = "Docs" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories" },
]},
]
# Add links to favicon, you can use https://realfavicongenerator.net/ to generate favicon for your site
[extra.favicon]
favicon_16x16 = "/icons/favicon-16x16.png"
favicon_32x32 = "/icons/favicon-32x32.png"
apple_touch_icon = "/icons/apple-touch-icon.png"
safari_pinned_tab = "/icons/safari-pinned-tab.svg"
webmanifest = "/icons/site.webmanifest"

[extra.commenting]

```
#### Multilingual Navbar
If you want to have a multilingual navbar on your blog, you must add your new code language in the [languages](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/content/multilingual/#configuration) array in the `config.toml` file.
**NOTE**: Don't add you default language to this array
```toml
languages = [
{code = "fr"},
{code = "es"},
]
```
And then create and array of nav item for each language:
**NOTE**: Include your default language in this array
```toml
navbar_items = [
{ code = "en", nav_items = [
{ url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Home" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/posts", name = "Posts" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/docs", name = "Docs" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories" },
]},
{ code = "fr", nav_items = [
{ url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Connexion" },
]},
{ code = "es", nav_items = [
{ url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Publicationes" },
{ url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Registrar" },
]}
]
```

### KaTeX math formula support
This theme contains math formula support using [KaTeX](https://katex.org/),
which can be enabled by setting `katex.enabled = true` in the `extra` section
+of `config.toml`:
```toml
[extra]
katex.enabled = true
katex.auto_render = true
```
After enabling this extension, the `katex` short code can be used in documents:
* `{{/* katex(body="\KaTeX") */}}` to typeset a math formula inlined into a text,
similar to `$...$` in LaTeX
* `{%/* katex(block=true) */%}\KaTeX{%/* end */%}` to typeset a block of math formulas,
similar to `$$...$$` in LaTeX
#### Automatic rendering without short codes
Optionally, `\\( \KaTeX \\)` / `$ \KaTeX $` inline and `\\[ \KaTeX \\]` / `$$ \KaTeX $$`
block-style automatic rendering is also supported, if enabled in the config:
```toml
[extra]
katex.enabled = true
katex.auto_render = true
```
