git clone https://github.com/lxndrblz/anatole.git anatole
cd anatole/exampleSite
hugo server --themesDir ../..

1. Add the repository into your Hugo Project repository as a submodule: git submodule add https://github.com/lxndrblz/anatole.git themes/anatole.
2. Configure your config.toml. Feel free to copy the demo config.toml and some content from the exampleSite.
3. Build your site with hugo serve and admire the result at http://localhost:1313/.

If you want to get the latest update of the Anatole theme please execute this command:

git submodule update --remote --merge

Ìn this section I'll discuss the custom parameters available within the config.toml. The complete sample can be found in the exampleSite folder.

[params]
title = "I'm Jane Doe"
author = "Jane Doe"
description = "Call me Jane"
profilePicture = "images/profile.jpg"

Non-content entries can be added right from the config.toml file.

[menu]

  [[menu.main]]
  name = "Home"
  identifier = "home"
  weight = 100
  url = "/"

  [[menu.main]]
  name = "Posts"
  weight = 200
  identifier = "posts"
  url = "/post/"

  [[menu.main]]
  name = "About"
  weight = 300
  identifier = "about"
  url = "/about/"

The theme is optimized to adhere to the requirements checked for in the Lighthouse Audit. On my personal site I was able to reach a perfect 100⁄100 score.

No comment section is shown on the single.html, unless a disqus code is specified in the config.toml file.

disqusShortname = "XXX"

To use Google Analytics, a valid tracking code has to be added. If you don't want to load the code, then commend out the parameter.

googleAnalytics = "UA-123-45"

## Math settings
[params.math]
enable = false  # options: true, false. Enable math support globally, default: false. You can always enable math on per page.
use = "katex"  # options: "katex", "mathjax". default is "katex".

You can add your custom CSS files with the customCss parameter of the configuration file. Put your files into the static/css directory.

customCss = ["css/custom1.css", "css/custom2.css"]

The theme is compliant with most strict CSP policies out of the box. A sample CSP for an Anatole-based site would look something like this:

Content-Security-Policy "
  base-uri 'self';
  connect-src 'self';
  default-src 'self';
  frame-ancestors 'none';
  font-src 'self' stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com;
  img-src 'self';
  object-src 'none';
  script-src 'self';
  style-src 'self' stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com;
"

If you want to configure the security headers for a site running on Netlify, you want to make sure you create a special _headers file in your sites static folder. The content might look like the following:

/*
  X-Frame-Options: DENY
  X-Clacks-Overhead: "GNU Terry Pratchett"
  X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
  X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
  Referrer-Policy: same-origin
  Content-Security-Policy:  base-uri 'self'; connect-src 'self'; default-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none'; font-src 'self' stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com; img-src 'self'; object-src 'none'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com;
  Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload

You can configure the pages shown on the front page by altering the mainSections parameter:

[params]
  mainSections = ["post", "docs"]
