# book
|
|
|
|
A theme based on [Gitbook](https://www.gitbook.com), to write documentation
|
|
or books.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
- [Numbered chapters](#numbered-chapters)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
First download this theme to your `themes` directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd themes
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/getzola/book.git
|
|
```
|
|
and then enable it in your `config.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
theme = "book"
|
|
# Optional, if you want search
|
|
build_search_index = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Book will generate a book from the files you place in the `content` directory. Your book
|
|
can have two levels of hierarchy: chapters and subchapters.
|
|
|
|
Each chapter should be a `section` within the Gutenberg site and should have an `_index.md`
|
|
file that sets its `weight` front-matter variable to its chapter number. For example,
|
|
chapter 2 should have `weight = 2`. Additionally, each chapter should also set the
|
|
`sort_by = "weight"` in its front matter.
|
|
|
|
Each subchapter should be a `page` and should have its `weight` variable set to the subchapter
|
|
number. For example, subchapter 3.4 should have `weight = 4`.
|
|
|
|
Finally, you should create an `_index.md` file and set the `redirect_to` front-matter variable
|
|
to redirect to the first section of your content. For example, if your first section has the
|
|
slug `introduction`, then you would set `redirect_to = "introduction"`.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### Numbered chapters
|
|
By default, the `book` theme will number the chapters and pages in the left menu.
|
|
You can disable that by setting the `book_number_chapters` in `extra`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
book_number_chapters = false
|
|
```
|
|
