Template Details

TeXtLite is a Hugo blog theme positioned as a lightweight port of the Jekyll TeXt theme. The repository description lists its main components: articles support tags and subtitles; on screens wider than 1280px, sidenotes.js provides sidenotes and a floating table of contents; math formulas are rendered by KaTeX with buttons to copy TeX commands; site search is done client-side using Fuse.js. The theme also uses Hugo native capabilities, including syntax highlighting and Mermaid / GoAT diagrams, and integrates two comment systems: utterances and disqus.

Before use, note the version and asset limitations. The README states the theme is based on Hugo v0.93.0 extended and recommends using v0.110.0 extended; the floating table of contents and sidenotes only appear on screens wider than 1280px and are not shown on narrow screens. The repository is under 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 need to be checked separately under their respective licenses, and external services like domain and hosting 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 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.
