book
A theme based on Gitbook, to write documentation or books.
Contents
Installation
First download this theme to your themes
directory:
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/getzola/book.git
and then enable it in your config.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_numbered_chapters
in extra
:
book_numbered_chapters = false
