Template Details
This theme is a Zola port of the Hikari theme from the Jekyll platform; the repository describes it as "Port of the Jekyll Hikari theme to Zola". It targets developers accustomed to using Zola and is intended for building personal blogs. Installation involves cloning the repository into the project's themes directory and setting theme = "hikari" in config.toml. Configuration is centralized in the [extra] section, where you can fill in the author name, author bio, Twitter, GitHub, Instagram, and whether to enable MathJax. The repository uses the MIT license, and the README credits the original Jekyll theme author Mathieu Mayer-Mazzoli. The materials do not describe the theme's style details, page template structure, or additional features; specific behavior should be based on the repository and demo site.
