A fantastic looking Ghost blog theme styled using Edward Tufte CSS. A great theme to use if you are an academic of any kind or just love the old parchment feel 📜.
To use Katex to render all math, simply inject this code into the header:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/katex.min.css"
integrity="sha384-BdGj8xC2eZkQaxoQ8nSLefg4AV4/AwB3Fj+8SUSo7pnKP6Eoy18liIKTPn9oBYNG" crossorigin="anonymous" />
<!-- The loading of KaTeX is deferred to speed up page rendering -->
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/katex.min.js"
integrity="sha384-JiKN5O8x9Hhs/UE5cT5AAJqieYlOZbGT3CHws/y97o3ty4R7/O5poG9F3JoiOYw1" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<!-- To automatically render math in text elements, include the auto-render extension: -->
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/contrib/auto-render.min.js"
integrity="sha384-kWPLUVMOks5AQFrykwIup5lo0m3iMkkHrD0uJ4H5cjeGihAutqP0yW0J6dpFiVkI" crossorigin="anonymous"
onload="renderMathInElement(document.body,{delimiters: [{left: '$$', right: '$$', display: true},{left: '\\[', right: '\\]', display: true},{left: '$', right: '$', display: false},{left: '\\(', right: '\\)', display: false}]});"></script>
<style>
.katex {
font-size: 1em;
}
</style>Then, to write math, simply type $$ to begin or end a 'display' rendering. For inline renderings type \( to begin, and \) to end.
Ghost uses a simple templating language called Handlebars for its themes.
We've documented our default theme pretty heavily so that it should be fairly easy to work out what's going on just by reading the code and the comments. Once you feel comfortable with how everything works, we also have full theme API documentation which explains every possible Handlebars helper and template.
The main files are:
default.hbs- The main template fileindex.hbs- Used for the home pagepost.hbs- Used for individual postspage.hbs- Used for individual pagestag.hbs- Used for tag archivesauthor.hbs- Used for author archives
One really neat trick is that you can also create custom one-off templates just by adding the slug of a page to a template file. For example:
page-about.hbs- Custom template for the/about/pagetag-news.hbs- Custom template for/tag/news/archiveauthor-ali.hbs- Custom template for/author/ali/archive
Ghost-tufte styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node, Yarn and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:
$ yarn install
$ yarn devNow you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.
The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/<theme-name>.zip, which you can then upload to your site.
$ yarn zip- Autoprefixer - Don't worry about writing browser prefixes of any kind, it's all done automatically with support for the latest 2 major versions of every browser.
- Variables - Simple pure CSS variables
- Color Function
Ghost-tufte uses inline SVG icons, included via Handlebars partials. You can find all icons inside /partials/icons. To use an icon just include the name of the relevant file, eg. To include the SVG icon in /partials/icons/rss.hbs - use {{> "icons/rss"}}.
You can add your own SVG icons in the same manner.
