Layouts

The paige-search layout provides full site search.

Example config.yaml:

outputs:
  home: ["html", "json", "rss"]

Example content/search.md:

---
layout: paige-search
title: Search
---

Shortcodes

The paige/figure shortcode provides a figure with a centered image and an optional centered caption. The image and caption can optionally be displayed inline instead of centered. The image has optional alt, title, width, and height attributes, and can optionally be wrapped in an anchor. Only the image source parameter is required.

These are the named parameters with positions, listed in the order of their positions:

{{< paige/figure
    src="https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandwich.png"
    link="https://xkcd.com/149"
    caption="My caption"
    title="My title"
    alt="My alt" >}}

These are the rest of the named parameters:

{{< paige/figure
    height=500
    inline=false
    width=500 >}}

Customization

If partials/paige-head-last.html exists in the site, it is included at the end of the head tag. If partials/paige-body-last.html exists in the site, it is included at the end of the body tag.

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

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

Design

The HTML author is the page authors, if any.

The HTML description is the page description, if any.

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

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, if any, or the site title otherwise.

The HTML body can have a header, a body, and a footer. The header has the menu, if any; the page title, if any; the page description, if any; and the page date, if any. The body has the page content, if any. The footer has the copyright notice, if any, and the theme link, if any.

The page 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, if any.

Bootstrap 5.2.2 CSS and JavaScript and Bootstrap Icons 1.10.2 are loaded from the Bootstrap CDN for every page unless local Bootstrap assets are used instead.

Map keys, CSS names, JavaScript names, and file names under the layout directory that begin with “paige” capitalized in any way are reserved.
