About this demo

This is the theme's exampleSite: a demo and its own documentation at once. Every piece of content is a guide about the theme itself, and every mechanism it describes works right on the page that describes it.

#What this is

The demo site of a live theme, built for learning guides. Nothing here is invented: the How-to rubric is the theme's user manual, Inside is a teardown of its internals, Reference is a component testbed and a controls reference. Any gap between the text and the page's actual behavior counts as a bug.

#What it's built from

Hugo (the regular binary, not extended) plus Pagefind for full-text search — two standalone tools, no Node. The full build:

hugo && pagefind --site public

The Playground section is an author's section of this site — the theme itself carries no trace of it: a live example of using the theme without forking it.

#Where the theme is

The paths below are exampleSite placeholders; on your own site, put in the real addresses:

• theme repository — github.com/user/theme;
• documentation — the theme's docs/ directory: authoring.md (how to write guides), customizing.md (customizing without a fork), i18n.md (how to add a language), params.md (parameter registry);
• this demo's feed — /index.xml, reader controls are covered in "Hotkeys".
