Links in footer

Links are defined in the config. Example using hugo.yaml:

  links:
    - href: "mailto:[email protected]"
      title: "send a mail"
      icon: email
    - href: "https://github.com/myuser"
      title: "github profile"
      icon: github

icon can be one of email, github, homepage, npm or xing.

If you want to use different icons you can create a file e.g. layouts/partials/icons/links/ghost.html with content

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 384 512">

</svg>

and in the config:

  links:
    - href: "https://mywebsite.example"
      title: "my homepage"
      icon: ghost

Prompt

The default prompt is ➜ and uses the color_accent. You can make the prompt more fancy by creating a file called layouts/partials/prompt.html. Example to show the author of a post on the prompt if available:

<span class="prompt">{{ if .Params.author }}
  {{.Params.author}}@home
{{ end }}
&gt;</span>&nbsp;

Custom CSS

You can define a file static/custom.css to define any custom css.

Favicons

Define the base path of your favicons in the config. This can be a relative path or an external like https://mywebsite.example/icons. Theese files need to exist under that path:

• favicon.ico
• icon.svg
• icon-192.png
• icon-512.png
• apple-touch-icon.png

Shortcodes

image

With image you can include a local or remote image. You need to define the image source as src and optionally an alternate text using alt. Examples:

{{< image src="/images/test/test.webp" alt="text" >}} internal image
{{< image src="https://mywebsite.example/images/test/test.webp" alt="text" >}} external image

audio

With audio you can include an audio file using the buildin player of the web browser.

{{< audio src="/sounds/test.mp3" >}}
