<!-- Getting Started -->
## 	:toolbox: Getting Started

<!-- Prerequisites -->
### :bangbang: Prerequisites

You need static site generator (SSG) [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/) installed in your machine to use this theme follow their guide on [getting started](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/overview/).

<!-- Installation -->
### :gear: Installation

Follow zola's guide on [installing a theme](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/themes/installing-and-using-themes/).
Make sure to add `theme = "DeepThought"` to your `config.toml`

**Check zola version (only 0.9.0+)**
Just to double-check to make sure you have the right version. It is not supported to use this theme with a version under 0.14.1.

<!-- Run Locally -->
### :running: Run Locally

Go into your sites directory and type `zola serve`. You should see your new site at `localhost:1111`.

**NOTE**: you must provide the theme options variables in `config.toml` to serve a functioning site

<!-- Deployment -->
### :triangular_flag_on_post: Deployment

[Zola](https://www.getzola.org) already has great documentation for deploying to [Netlify](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/deployment/netlify/) or [Github Pages](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/deployment/github-pages/). I won't bore you with a regurgitated explanation.

<!-- Usage -->
## :eyes: Usage

Following options are available with the `DeepThought` theme

```toml
# Enable external libraries
[extra]
katex.enabled = true
katex.auto_render = true

chart.enabled = true
mermaid.enabled = true
galleria.enabled = true

navbar_items = [
 { code = "en", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Home" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/posts", name = "Posts" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/docs", name = "Docs" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories" },
 ]},
]

# Add links to favicon, you can use https://realfavicongenerator.net/ to generate favicon for your site
[extra.favicon]
favicon_16x16 = "/icons/favicon-16x16.png"
favicon_32x32 = "/icons/favicon-32x32.png"
apple_touch_icon = "/icons/apple-touch-icon.png"
safari_pinned_tab = "/icons/safari-pinned-tab.svg"
webmanifest = "/icons/site.webmanifest"

# Author details
[extra.author]
name = "DeepThought"
avatar = "/images/avatar.png"

# Social links
[extra.social]
email = "<email_id>"
facebook = "<facebook_username>"
github = "<github_username>"
gitlab = "<gitlab_username>"
keybase = "<keybase_username>"
linkedin = "<linkedin_username>"
stackoverflow = "<stackoverflow_userid>"
twitter = "<twitter_username>"
instagram = "<instagram_username>"
behance = "<behance_username>"
google_scholar = "<googlescholar_userid>"
orcid = "<orcid_userid>"
mastodon_username = "<mastadon_username>"
mastodon_server = "<mastodon_server>" (if not set, defaults to mastodon.social)


# To add google analytics
[extra.analytics]
google = "<your_gtag>"

# To add disqus comments
[extra.commenting]
disqus = "<your_disqus_shortname>"

# To enable mapbox maps
[extra.mapbox]
enabled = true
access_token = "<your_access_token>"
```

#### Multilingual Navbar

If you want to have a multilingual navbar on your blog, you must add your new code language in the [languages](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/content/multilingual/#configuration) array in the `config.toml` file.

**NOTE**: Don't add you default language to this array

```toml
languages = [
    {code = "fr"},
    {code = "es"},
]
```

And then create and array of nav item for each language:

**NOTE**: Include your default language in this array

```toml
navbar_items = [
 { code = "en", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Home" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/posts", name = "Posts" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/docs", name = "Docs" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories" },
 ]},
 { code = "fr", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Connexion" },
 ]},
 { code = "es", nav_items = [
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Publicationes" },
  { url = "$BASE_URL/", name = "Registrar" },
 ]}
]
```

### KaTeX math formula support

This theme contains math formula support using [KaTeX](https://katex.org/),
which can be enabled by setting `katex.enabled = true` in the `extra` section
of `config.toml`.

After enabling this extension, the `katex` short code can be used in documents:

- `{{/* katex(body="\KaTeX") */}}` to typeset a math formula inlined into a text,
  similar to `$...$` in LaTeX
- `{%/* katex(block=true) */%}\KaTeX{%/* end */%}` to typeset a block of math formulas,
  similar to `$$...$$` in LaTeX

#### Automatic rendering without short codes

Optionally, `\\( \KaTeX \\)` / `$ \KaTeX $` inline and `\\[ \KaTeX \\]` / `$$ \KaTeX $$`
block-style automatic rendering is also supported, if enabled in the config
by setting `katex.auto_render = true`.

### Elasticlunr search in other language

Zola use [Elasticlunr.js](https://github.com/weixsong/elasticlunr.js) to add full-text search feature.
To use languages other than en (English), you need to add some javascript files. See the Zola's issue [#1349](https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/1349).
By placing the `templates/base.html`on your project and using the `other_lang_search_js` block, you can load the required additional javascript files in the right timing.

e.g. `templates/base.html`

```html
{%/* extends "DeepThought/templates/base.html" */%} {%/* block other_lang_search_js */%}
<script src="{{/* get_url(path='js/lunr.stemmer.support.js') */}}"></script>
<script src="{{/* get_url(path='js/tinyseg.js') */}}"></script>
<script src="{{/* get_url(path='js/lunr.' ~ lang ~ '.js') */}}"></script>
<script src="{{/* get_url(path='js/search.js') */}}"></script>
{%/* endblock */%}
```

More detailed explanations are aound in [elasticlunr's documents](https://github.com/weixsong/elasticlunr.js#other-languages-example-in-browser).
