## About
|
|
Emerald is a minimal theme created for Jekyll. The main purpose of Emerald is to provide a clear theme for those who want a blog ready to use, focused on the content and mobile-first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup & usage
|
|
Emerald may be installed by simply downloading the .zip folder from the [repository on Github](https://github.com/KingFelix/emerald/archive/master.zip).
|
|
|
|
After extracting the content from the folder into the selected directory, you can type ``jekyll serve`` from the terminal, than open your browser to ``0.0.0.0:4000/emerald/`` and you will find it there.
|
|
|
|
Additionally it is possible to fork the repository and use Github Pages as hosting. By following this way it will be enough to change the ``baseurl`` value into the ``_config.yml`` file, with the directory name of your project (for example /blog) or simply with a "/" (slash) if you want install Emerald in the root.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
Starting from the 1.1.0 version, you can customize Emerald thanks to a few options. Now it is possible to set a custom header tag by setting the related option in the ``_config.yml`` file to "true". Then insert your custom code into the ``header-custom.html`` file.
|
|
In the same way, you can customize the footer of the navigation menu, by setting to "true" the related option and put your code into the ``nav-footer-custom.html`` file.
|
|
Moreover it is now possible to select a reverse option that allows to move the navigation menu to the left side, by setting it to "true".
|
|
|
|
### Colors
|
|
The basic colors are set into the ``base.scss`` file:
|
|
- $main-color: used for the menu, title, link and footer
|
|
- $background-color: used for background and links in the navigation menu
|
|
- $text-color: used for text and title in posts and pages
|
|
|
|
To customize the colors, just set the values in HEX, RGB (or RGBa) or any other format accepted by CSS.
|
|
|
|
### Navigation menu
|
|
Starting from the 1.1.0 version, the links inside the navigation menu are autogenerated from pages having the layout set to ``page``.
|
|
You can set custom links, by putting in the ``<a>`` tag into the ``link.html`` file.
|
|
|
|
### Branch
|
|
Emerald has two branch:
|
|
- ``master``: is for developing pourpose.
|
|
- ``gh-pages``: is only for demo site.
|
|
|
|
### Baseurl
|
|
Emerald was thought to be used mainly with Github, in particular into [project site](https://pages.github.com/). For this reason several tags have been included ``{{ site.baseurl }}`` to refer to the "/emerald/" directory.
|
|
You can change the "baseurl" value into the ``config.yml`` file, to match your directory (for example "/blog/") or the root of your project. In that case you must set the "baseurl" value to "/".
|
|
|
|
### Typography
|
|
To maintain the vertical rhythm, it has been applied a **Typographic scale** as a modular scale, with a baseline set to 24px. To maintain this rhythm you need to insert elements like image, video or other contents with a 24px (or multiple) height as refer.
|
|
|
|
Last but not least: the [Jekyll documentation](http://jekyllrb.com) is the best starting point!
