Updating
cd themes/typography
git pull
npm run build
yarn run build # for yarn users
You may encounter the error
modified: themes/typography
if you are managing the whole blog withgit
. In that case, instead of usinggit push
, we recommend you to download the zip and update the theme manually.
Customizing
Typography has packed up several labor-saving functions, thus you can easily make any change at any time in the _config.yml
file located in the root directory of the theme.
Correctly define the title* Important *
Typography has three titles: title
, title_primary
, and title_secondary
. The title
is defined in the _config.yml
inside the Hexo blog's root directory while the title_primary
and title_secondary
are defined in Typography's _config.yml
.
title
: The<title>
of all the HTML pages.title_primary
: The bigger title to display on nav/side bar.title_secondary
: The smaller title to display on nav/side bar.
Change the language
Modify the .yml
files in themes/typography/languages
or add new files according to your need.
Auto truncate
It is possible to control the length for all the summaries on the index page by setting a value for truncate_len
. The default length is 160.
e.g. truncate_len: 160
Changing the color scheme
You can find this option in theme's _config.yml
.
Currently, there are two color schemes available:
- light
- dark
themeStyle: light
Set up the comment service
The comment box is a place for readers to exchange their ideas with the author. Typography has integrated two 3rd-party comment services, and they are ready to use at any time.
Currently, Typography supports comment services provided by Disqus and LiveRe. The only thing you need to do is to set the corresponding key for the comment service that you would like to use.
e.g. disqus: disqus_shortname
OR livere: livere_data_uid
Do not use two comment services at the same time, or the post will be followed by two comment boxes. Just leave blank for the rest of the comment service-related options.
Show/Hide the page indicator
Set to false to hide the page indicator above the page switcher.
showPageCount: true
Show/Hide categories and tags links behind post title
You can choose whether or not to show categories and tags links behind post title in index and post page by changing the following values in theme's _config.yml
:
showCategories: true
showTag: true
Set website favicon
Prepare favicon.png
file and put in themes/typography/source/images/favicon.png
Embed Google Analytics in your blog
Find the line below in themes/typography/source/js/google-analytics.js
:
ga('create', 'UA-73442912-1', 'auto');
Replace UA-73442912-1
with your own google analytics id.
SEO-friendly meta description tag
Typography gives you the chance to insert unique SEO-friendly meta description tags for different posts. Also, it is handy. Just add a new line in the head section of your post:
title: Another post
date: 1970-01-01 00:00
desc: Description to be inserted into the metadata of the post page.
---
Then the generated HTML file will contain:
<meta name="description" content="Description to be inserted into the metadata of the post page.">
If
desc
is not specified, the first 140 words of the post will be used as the description.
Icons for social network accounts
Typography natively supports the following social network accounts:
- GitHub
- Sina Weibo
To use light up those icons, just simply set the values for the corresponding options.
twitter: user_name
weibo: user_id/permanent_name
instagram: user_name
github: user_name
Tips: leave blanks to remove the icons from the site.
Customize2
Please edit scss files instead of css files. We recommend you to run
npm run watch
(oryarn run watch
) to watch changes on scss files. But plesae be noted thatnpm run watch
does not provide auto-prefixing support on compiled css files. Runningnpm run build
(oryarn run build
), which has support for CSS compressing and auto-prefixing, after you have done your modifications and before deploying your blog is recommended.
Typography uses node-sass
and scss-compile
to generate .css
files for styling. We have provided several options such as background and foreground colors for you to choose. When your editing is finished, do not forget to run the commands below to re-generate the .css
files:
cd themes/typography
npm run build
yarn run build # for yarn users
.scss
files are located intheme/typography/raw/scss
.
Customize3
As for the pug templates inside theme/typography/layout
, just edit them and remember to add some pepper as you like it.
