Template Details
hexo-theme-A4 is a blog theme for Hexo that visually imitates A4 paper and follows a minimalist approach; the README summarizes it as "simple, small in size, and low in configuration." The theme provides the basic functions of a blog site, including archives, tags, categories, and a table of contents, and supports turning the homepage into a resume or word-style document with customizable content. The page header and footer can also be customized.
At the article level, the theme supports per-article configuration to hide an article, toggle comments, toggle the table of contents, and pin articles, and it can implement mathematical formulas and encrypted article access through plugins. The global color scheme is customizable, with two built-in palettes—gray-white (default) and green-gold—and you can also create your own. The comment module uses Waline, and the theme also includes preset CSS styles available for Markdown.
There are two installation methods: npm and git. Personalized configuration is centralized in the _config.a4.yml file in the site root directory. Note that the homepage and article list page need to be generated manually by running hexo new page index and hexo new page list. The theme uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked against their respective licenses, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur additional charges.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to this version of the code and does not mean that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code are permitted.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- The sponsorship/buy-me-a-coffee links in the README are voluntary donations and are not a prerequisite for using this theme; free use is unaffected.
- The comment feature depends on the third-party Waline service; you need to deploy or register a Waline backend and configure the corresponding service, which may involve external accounts and hosting costs.
- The theme references external CDN resources by default; in actual deployment, you need to confirm the availability and licensing of these third-party CDNs, and it may be affected by external services.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses; the MIT license of the code alone is not sufficient to determine this.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional charges.

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 Hexo 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.
