Syntax highlighting

See Hugo docs on how to configure Hugo's Highlight.

Staticman support

Add Staticman configuration section in config.toml or config.yaml

Sample config.toml configuration

[Params.staticman]
  api = "https://<API-ENDPOINT>/v3/entry/{GIT-HOST}/<USERNAME>/<REPOSITORY-BLOGNAME>/master/comments"
[Params.staticman.recaptcha]
      sitekey: "6LeGeTgUAAAAAAqVrfTwox1kJQFdWl-mLzKasV0v"
      secret: "hsGjWtWHR4HK4pT7cUsWTArJdZDxxE2pkdg/ArwCguqYQrhuubjj3RS9C5qa8xu4cx/Y9EwHwAMEeXPCZbLR9eW1K9LshissvNcYFfC/b8KKb4deH4V1+oqJEk/JcoK6jp6Rr2nZV4rjDP9M7nunC3WR5UGwMIYb8kKhur9pAic="

Note: The public API-ENDPOINT https://staticman.net is currently hitting its API limit, so one may use other API instances to provide Staticman comment service.

The section [Params.staticman.recaptcha] is optional. To add reCAPTCHA to your site, you have to replace the default values with your own ones (to be obtained from Google.) The site secret has to be encrypted with

https://<API-ENDPOINT>/v3/encrypt/<SITE-SECRET>

You must also configure the staticman.yml in you blog website.

comments:
  allowedFields: ["name", "email", "website", "comment"]
  branch            : "master"
  commitMessage     : "New comment in {options.slug}"
  path: "data/comments/{options.slug}"
  filename          : "comment-{@timestamp}"
  format            : "yaml"
  moderation        : true
  requiredFields    : ['name', 'email', 'comment']
  transforms:
    email           : md5
  generatedFields:
    date:
      type          : "date"
      options:
        format      : "iso8601"
  reCaptcha:
    enabled: true
    siteKey: "6LeGeTgUAAAAAAqVrfTwox1kJQFdWl-mLzKasV0v"
    secret: "hsGjWtWHR4HK4pT7cUsWTArJdZDxxE2pkdg/ArwCguqYQrhuubjj3RS9C5qa8xu4cx/Y9EwHwAMEeXPCZbLR9eW1K9LshissvNcYFfC/b8KKb4deH4V1+oqJEk/JcoK6jp6Rr2nZV4rjDP9M7nunC3WR5UGwMIYb8kKhur9pAic="

If you don't have the section [Params.staticman] in config.toml, you won't need the section reCaptcha in staticman.yml

Commit SHA in the footer

If the source of your site is in a Git repo, the SHA corresponding to the commit the site is built from can be shown on the footer. To do so, two site parameters commit has to be defined in the config file config.yaml:

enableGitInfo: true
Params:
  commit: "https://github.com/<username>/<siterepo>/tree/"

See at vincenttam/vincenttam.gitlab.io for an example of how to add it to a continuous integration system.

Multilingual

To allow Beautiful Hugo to go multilingual, you need to define the languages you want to use inside the languages parameter on config.toml file, also redefining the content dir for each one. Check the i18n/ folder to see all languages available.

[languages]
  [languages.en] 
    contentDir = "content/en" # English
  [languages.ja]
    contentDir = "content/ja" # Japanese
  [languages.br]
    contentDir = "content/br" # Brazilian Portuguese

Now you just need to create a subdir within the content/ folder for each language and just put stuff inside page/ and post/ regular directories.

content/      content/      content/  
└── en/       └── br/       └── ja/ 
    ├── page/     ├── page/     ├── page/
    └── post/     └── post/     └── post/

Extra shortcodes

There are two extra shortcodes provided (along with the customized figure shortcode):

Details

This simply adds the html5 detail attribute, supported on all modern browsers. Use it like this:

{{< details "This is the details title (click to expand)" >}}
This is the content (hidden until clicked).
{{< /details >}}

Split

This adds a two column side-by-side environment (will turn into 1 col for narrow devices):

{{< columns >}}
This is column 1.
{{< column >}}
This is column 2.
{{< endcolumn >}}

Self hosted

There used to be a self-hosted option, where all the imports would be part of this repo. This has been removed. I recommend using Decentraleyes if you'd like to keep things local.

About
