Template Details
enervoid-theme is a static site theme for Hugo with an overall black color scheme. The repository description positions it as a "simple black theme" and additionally provides KaTeX and Mermaid support. The theme is published on Hugo Themes, with a demo site at https://enerhim.github.io/enervoid-demo/.
Based on the screenshots and configuration examples in the repository README, the theme presets three types of content display: home, blog/personal, and projects, and provides parameters for menus, avatars, and social links. For Markdown, the configuration example enables math formula delimiters through Goldmark's passthrough extension, and provides example files for math, formats, embeds, and code. Code highlighting uses the monokai style.
Usage follows the standard Hugo workflow: create a new site, place the theme in themes/enervoid via Git submodule or direct clone, copy example/hugo.toml as the site configuration, then run hugo server -D to preview. Content is created with the hugo new command for Markdown files under blog, personal, and projects respectively. Project page front matter supports fields such as summary, github, website, and link.
Limitations: the materials do not specify the theme's browser compatibility range, accessibility support, or long-term maintenance plans. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately under their respective licenses; the MIT license covers only this version of the code.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
