What's New

See the changelog of this version for a detailed list of changes.

Version 8

New A boxStyle configuration is now able to get its default values from an already existing predefined or user style using the style field in the same way as you use it with many shortcodes.
New Translation into Danish.

Change The children shortcode has learned to show its children in a nice card layout.

This required to deprecate the containerstyle and style parameter in favor of the new type parameter. Your build will succeed as before but will give you detailed warnings how to migrate your old settings to the new for each occurance.

If you haven’t set containerstyle or style no changes are necessary. If you used
- containerstyle=ul or style=li now use type=tree
- style=h* now use type=list
- any other containerstyle or style now use type=flat
If you want to use the new card layout, use type=card.
Change The externalLinkTarget config option has changed its default from _blank to _self causing external links by default to be opened in the same tab.

If you want to get back to the previous behavior of opening external links in a new tab, set externalLinkTarget='_blank' in your hugo.toml.

New The theme now supports cards with the card shortcode and the corresponding cards shortcode.

See them in action on the shortcodes overview page.

Breaking This release provides compatibility for Hugo 0.146.0 or newer and required to make some breaking changes to internal file structuring.

You will be affected by this if you
- call dependencies.gotmpl from your own templates. The theme will now generate a warning. Call dependencies.html instead.
- use page designs. The underlying content views aren’t allowed to be stored in subdirectories anymore. You have to move them up one level.
- use self-defined output formats.
Breaking Search got much more flexible in its configuration but may requires changes by you.

In addition you now can use a different search engine, supply your own template for the generated search index and change the layout of the dedicated search page by setting a different content view.

Change The <h1> color for the page heading has changed its default value from --MAIN-TEXT-color to the more logical --MAIN-TITLES-TEXT-color.

If you experience a change in your page title color after upgrading, just set --MAIN-TITLES-H1-TEXT-color to your previously used color.
Change For the children shortcode the final default value if parameter sort=auto and no ordersectionsby setting was found has changed from weight to default.

If your weights are all correctly set you will not recognize a difference. If you have duplicate weights on a level or have not set weights at all while sorting should happen by weight, this change will lead to a deterministic order while previously it didn’t.

New The theme has updated its Mermaid dependency to 11.8.0. This adds support for radar graphs and treemaps.
