Light Speed

A small Zola theme, ported from Light Speed Jekyll.

Demo: carpetscheme.github.io/lightspeed


Contents

Installation

Download this theme to your themes directory:

$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/carpetscheme/lightspeed.git

and then enable it in your config.toml:

theme = "lightspeed"

Posts should be placed directly in the content folder.

To sort the post index by date, enable sort in your index section content/_index.md:

sort_by = "date"

Options

Title

Set a title and description in the config to appear in the site header:

title = "Different strokes"
description = "for different folks"

Set a field in extra with a key of footer_links:

[extra]

footer_links = [
    {url = "$BASE_URL/about", name = "About"},
    {url = "$BASE_URL/atom.xml", name = "RSS"},
    {url = "https://example.com", name = "Example"},
]

Create pages such as $BASE_URL/about by placing them in a subfolder of the content directory, and specifying the path in the frontmatter:

path = "about"

The footer credit to Zola and Lightspeed can be disabled with the footer_credits option.

Sass

Styles are compiled from sass and imported inline to the header.

You can overide the styles by enabling sass compilation in the config:

compile_sass = true

and placing a replacement style.scss file in your sass folder.

Original

This template is based on the Jekyll template Light Speed Jekyll by Bradley Taunt.
