Linkita start

Start blogging in minutes with Zola and Linkita.

Quick start

1. On the top right of this page, click "Use this template" → "Create a new repository"
2. Replace placeholders in content/_index.md and config.toml
3. Save your profile photo to static/profile.png (or change the path to your image in config.toml)
4. Start writing in content/blog/. See content/blog/hello.md for an example

Note: an error like Tried to build search index for language ko which is not supported, means Zola does not support search for that language. To disable search, set build_search_index = false in config.toml

Tip

Take a look through config.toml to customise further.

Local development

1. Install Zola
2. Clone your repository
3. Run git submodule update --init --recursive
4. Run zola serve
5. Visit http://127.0.0.1:1111/

Deployment

Refer to the Zola documentation

Updating Linkita

git submodule update --remote themes/linkita

Changing the theme repository

If you prefer to use the GitHub mirror or your own fork of the theme, you can update the submodule URL:

git submodule set-url themes/linkita https://github.com/salif/linkita.git

Syntax highlighting

Users with Zola versions prior to 0.22.0 who want to use syntax highlighting need to remove the [markdown.highlighting] block in config.toml and add the following code:

# Configuration of the Markdown rendering
[markdown]
# When set to "true", all code blocks are highlighted.
highlight_code = true

# When set to "true", missing highlight languages are treated as errors. Defaults to false.
error_on_missing_highlight = false

# A list of directories used to search for additional `.sublime-syntax` and `.tmTheme` files.
extra_syntaxes_and_themes = []

# The theme to use for code highlighting.
highlight_theme = "boron"
