Setup Disqus [shortname](https://help.disqus.com/en/articles/1717111-what-s-a-shortname) in config.toml:

# disqus
disqusShortname = "XXX"  # your short name

[params.comments]
enable = false  # En/Disable comments globally, default: false. You can always enable comments on per page.
```

You can enable comments on per page:

```md
+++
title = "..."
date = 2019-12-08
...
comments = true
+++

...
```

### Pagination

Support large number of pages

### Custom footer copyright layout

Thanks [@Benjamin-Lee](https://github.com/Benjamin-Lee)'s good idea!

Create an user-side partial: `copyright.html`

```
.
└── layouts
    └── partials
        └── copyright.html
```

You can relayout copyright like this:

```html
{{- $copyright := . -}}
<div style="display:flex; flex-direction:row; flex-wrap:wrap; justify-content:space-between;">
<p style="flex-shrink: 0;">{{- $copyright -}}</p>
<p><span>Powered by </span><a
    href="https://gohugo.io" target="_blank">Hugo</a><span> and the </span><a
    href="https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-notepadium/" target="_blank">Notepadium</a></p>
</div>
```

### Custom CSS

```toml
[params.assets]
css = ["css/font.css", "css/color.css", "css/layout.scss"]  # *.css/scss/sass
```

On user-side:

```
.
└── assets
    └── css
        ├── color.css
        └── font.css
```

`color.css` and `font.css` will be bundled into `core.css`.

_Note:_ You can use Hugo templating in these CSS assets.

### Custom JS

```toml
[params.assets]
js = ["js/font.js", "js/color.js"]
```

On user-side:

```
.
└── assets
    └── js
        ├── color.js
        └── font.js
```

`color.js` and `font.js` will be bundled into `core.js`.

### Custom header right items

Create an user-side partial: `navigation-items.html`

```
.
└── layouts
    └── partials
        └── navigation-items.html
```

An example navigation-items.html:

```html
{{- $nav := . -}}
{{- if or $nav.showCategories $nav.showTags $nav.custom -}}
<div class="nav wrap"><nav class="nav">
    {{- if $nav.showCategories -}}
        <a class="nav item" href="{{- `/categories/` | relLangURL -}}">Categories</a>
    {{- end -}}
    {{- if $nav.showTags -}}
        <a class="nav item" href="{{- `/tags/` | relLangURL -}}">Tags</a>
    {{- end -}}
    {{- range $nav.custom -}}
        {{- $url := .url | safeURL -}}
        {{- if strings.HasPrefix $url "/" -}}{{- $url = $url | relLangURL -}}{{- end -}}
        <a class="nav item" href="{{- $url -}}"
            {{- if strings.HasPrefix $url "http" -}}target="_blank"
            {{- end -}}>{{- .title -}}</a>
    {{- end -}}
</nav></div>
{{- end -}}
```

Or, you can rewrite it:

```html
<a class="nav item" href="{{- `/pages/about/` | relURL -}}"><span class="iconfont icon-aboutus"></span>&nbsp;About</a>
<a class="nav item" href="https://github.com/cntrump" target="_blank"><span class="iconfont icon-logo_github"></span>&nbsp;Github</a>
```

`iconfont`, `icon-*` classes are my custom CSS.

### `plist` shortcode

Syntax:

```md
{{< plist
    "key1: value1"
    "key2: value2"
    "key3: value3"
    ...
    "keyN: valueN"
>}}
```

Example:

```md
- `text-align`

    ```css
    .box {
        text-align: center;
    }
    ```

    Definition and Usage

    The `text-align` property specifies the horizontal alignment of text in an element.

    {{< plist
        "Default value: `left` if direction is ltr, and `right` if direction is rtl"
        "Inherited: yes"
        "Animatable: no. Read about animatable"
        "Version: CSS1"
        "JavaScript syntax: `object.style.textAlign=\"right\"`"
    >}}
```

### Custom article cover

Set `01.png` as cover, example:

```toml
+++
title = "..."
cover = "01.png"
+++
```

### Display author profile at article bottom

Global settings, Edit `config.toml`

```toml
[params.profile]
  enable = true
  avatar = "/img/avatar.jpg"
  name = "XXX"
  bio = "XXX"  # support markdown syntax
  twitter = "XXX"  # https://twitter.com/XXX
  github = "XXX"  # https://github.com/XXX
  docker = "XXX"  # https://hub.docker.com/u/XXX
  email = "[email protected]"  # mailto:[email protected]
```

Or page-by-page, on front matter:

```toml
+++
title = "..."
date = 2020-05-01T22:20:36+08:00

[profile]
  enable = true
  avatar = "/img/avatar.jpg"
  name = "XXX"
  bio = "XXX"  # support markdown syntax
  twitter = "XXX"  # https://twitter.com/XXX
  github = "XXX"  # https://github.com/XXX
  docker = "XXX"  # https://hub.docker.com/u/XXX
  email = "[email protected]"  # mailto:[email protected]
+++
```

### Set robots meta tag

In the front matter of any page, you can selectively enable the `robots` meta tag
and define its content:

```toml
robots = "noindex,nofollow"
```

If `noindex` is included, that page will also be hidden in `sitemap.xml`.
