Project and About pages generated from YAML data, without hand-writing HTML

CSS/JS asset minification pipeline, with images using the browser's native lazy loading

Template Details

Mono is a static site theme for Hugo. Its overall visual language references technical manuals and datasheets: rigid borders, high-contrast type, and a disciplined layout, suited to content centered on text and formulas. The theme includes KaTeX, which can render LaTeX inline and block formulas site-wide or per article; code highlighting uses Hugo's native Chroma engine with a preset black-and-white (bw) style. For navigation, it integrates instant.page, enabling JavaScript-free page prefetching through hover intent. Project and About pages can be generated from YAML data, without hand-writing HTML. The asset pipeline minifies CSS/JS, and images use the browser's native lazy loading.

The current repository's README lists capabilities not yet implemented in its TODO: categories, series, X and OpenGraph cards, table of contents (ToC), audio/video embeds, and article cover images. These features should therefore not be considered available. Installation is done by adding the repository as a git submodule to the themes/mono directory of a Hugo site.

Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided copyright and license notices are retained; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate verification of their licensing.

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.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hugo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
