See https://hugo-theme-beautifulhugo.netlify.app/
Install Hugo and create a new site. See the Hugo documentation for details.
Add Beautifulhugo:
$ git submodule add https://github.com/halogenica/beautifulhugo.git themes/beautifulhugo
Copy the content of exampleSite at the root of your project:
cp -r themes/beautifulhugo/exampleSite/* . -iv
Start Hugo:
hugo serve
This theme is designed to look great on both large-screen and small-screen (mobile) devices.
This theme has support for either Hugo's lightning fast Chroma, or both server side and client side highlighting. See the Hugo docs for more.
To enable Chroma, add the following to your site parameters:
pygmentsCodeFences = true
pygmentsUseClasses = true
Then, you can generate a different style by running:
hugo gen chromastyles --style=trac > static/css/syntax.css
To use this feature install Pygments (pip install Pygments) and add the following to your site parameters:
pygmentsStyle = "trac"
pygmentsUseClassic = true
Pygments is mostly compatable with the newer Chroma. It is slower but has some additional theme options. I recommend Chroma over Pygments. Pygments will use syntax.css for highlighting, unless you also set the config pygmentsUseClasses = false which will generate the style code directly in the HTML file.
[Params]
useHLJS = true
Client side highlighting does not require pygments to be installed. This will use highlight.min.css instead of syntax.css for highlighting (effectively disabling Chroma). Highlight.js has a wider range of support for languages and themes, and an alternative highlighting engine.
To use this feature, uncomment and fill out the disqusShortname parameter in config.toml.
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.

If you don't have the section [Params.staticman] in config.toml, you won't need the section reCaptcha in staticman.yml
To add Google Analytics, simply sign up to Google Analytics to obtain your Google Tracking ID, and add this tracking ID to the googleAnalytics parameter in config.toml.
Note that the Google Analytics tracking code will only be inserted into the page when the site isn't served on Hugo's built-in server, to prevent tracking from local testing environments.
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.toml:
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.
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 PortugueseNow 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/
With default settings, visiting to a website using Beautifulhugo connects also to remote services like google fonts or jsdelivr to embed fonts, js and other assets.
To avoid this, set the following param in config.toml:
[Params]
selfHosted = true
There are two extra shortcodes provided (along with the customized figure shortcode):
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 >}}
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.
{{< endcolumns >}}
