## Features
* Clean simple design
* Mobile friendly
* Customizable
* Designed to not interfere with main website
* Zero initial configuration
## Installation
Navigate to your hugo website root and run:
```
git submodule add https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book themes/book
```
Then run hugo (or set `theme: book` in configuration file)
```
hugo server --theme book
```
## Menu
### File tree menu (default)
By default theme will render pages from `content/docs` section as menu in a tree structure.
You can set `title` and `weight` in front matter of pages to adjust order and titles in menu.
### Leaf bundle menu
You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's `index.md` as
menu.
Given you have this file structure
```
├── content
│ └── docs
│ ├── page-one.md
│ └── page-two.md
```
Create file `content/docs/menu/index.md` with content
```md
---
headless: true
---
- [Book Example](/docs/)
- [Page One](/docs/page-one)
- [Page Two](/docs/page-two)
```
And Enable it by settings `BookMenuBundle: /docs/menu` in Site configuration
- [Example menu](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/content/menu/index.md)
- [Example config file](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/config.yml)
- [Leaf bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/)
## Configuration
### Site Configuration

# (Optional, default true) Show or hide table of contents globally
