## Installation
First download this theme to your `themes` directory:

```bash
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/getzola/after-dark.git
```
and then enable it in your `config.toml`:

```toml
theme = "after-dark"
```

This theme requires your index section (`content/_index.md`) to be paginated to work:

```toml
paginate_by = 5
```

The posts should therefore be in directly under the `content` folder.

The theme requires tags and categories taxonomies to be enabled in your `config.toml`:

```toml
taxonomies = [
    # You can enable/disable RSS
    {name = "categories", feed = true},
    {name = "tags", feed = true},
]
```
If you want to paginate taxonomies pages, you will need to overwrite the templates
as it only works for non-paginated taxonomies by default.


## Options

### Top-menu
Set a field in `extra` with a key of `after_dark_menu`:

```toml
after_dark_menu = [
    {url = "$BASE_URL", name = "Home"},
    {url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories"},
    {url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags"},
    {url = "https://google.com", name = "Google"},
]
```

If you put `$BASE_URL` in a url, it will automatically be replaced by the actual
site URL.

### Title
The site title is shown on the homepage. As it might be different from the `<title>`
element that the `title` field in the config represents, you can set the `after_dark_title`
instead.

### Author
You can set this on a per page basis or in the config file.

`config.toml`:
```toml
[extra]
author = "John Smith"
```
In a page (wrap this in +++):
```toml
title = "..."
date = 1970-01-01

[extra]
author = "John Smith"
```
