`yoursite/layouts/partials/paige/style-first.css`	The beginning of the style tag
`yoursite/layouts/partials/paige/style-last.css`	The end of the style tag

Override

Most code is in partials that are included by the layouts. Elements can be added, changed, or removed easily by overriding the corresponding layout or partial.

For example, the layouts list.html, single.html, taxonomy.html, and term.html include the partial paige/article.html. paige/article.html includes the partials paige/metadata.html, paige/toc.html, and paige/content.html. To change the page title for those layouts, change paige/metadata.html. To change the page title for single.html, replace the use of paige/article.html in single.html with the use of paige/metadata.html, paige/toc.html, and paige/content.html, then replace that use of paige/metadata.html with your own design.

Minimal look

By default, everything is shown. If you want a more minimal look, try the following in yoursite/layouts/partials/paige/style-first.css:

#paige-authors,
#paige-collections,
#paige-credit,
#paige-keywords,
#paige-reading-time,
#paige-series,
#paige-toc,
.paige-authors,
.paige-date,
.paige-keywords,
.paige-reading-time,
.paige-series,
.paige-summary {
    display: none;
}

Menu navigation only

If you configure a menu, and intend for it to be sufficient for all navigation, you should hide the breadcrumbs on every page, and hide the collection, section, and page lists on the home page if you use the default home page layout.

To hide the breadcrumbs on every page, try the following in yoursite/layouts/partials/paige/style-first.css:

#paige-breadcrumbs {
    display: none;
}

To hide the collection, section, and page lists on the home page, try the following in yoursite/content/_index.md:

[paige]
style = """
#paige-collections,
#paige-sections,
#paige-pages {
    display: none;
}
"""

Implementation

The HTML author is the page authors.

The HTML description is the page description.

The HTML keywords is a union of the page keywords, tags, and categories.

The HTML title is the page title, followed by a middle dot, followed by the site title. If one is missing, the other is used without the middle dot. For the home page, the title is the page title, or the site title otherwise.

The HTML body has a header, a body, and a footer. The header has the menu. The body has the page article. The footer has the copyright notice and the theme link. The article has the page metadata, table of contents, and content. The metadata has the page title, description, terms, authors, date, and reading time.

The copyright notice, title, and description can be Markdown. Markup is stripped for HTML and RSS titles.

The page title is displayed in an h1 tag, so page content headers must start with h2.

The page date is the publish date.

The following NPM packages are used:

Hugo names, HTML names, CSS names, and JavaScript names that begin with "paige" capitalized in any way, optionally prefixed with one or more underscores, are reserved.
