This is the first theme I have created for Hugo. I have tried several of the
themes, and there are some really cool ones out there, but I always find some
little thing that just doesn’t meet my needs. After quite a bit of fiddling, I
decided what I really wanted was a VERY simple template that I can start from,
something built from scratch. So the hugo-ultralite theme was born.
I have to give credit to the hugo-xmin theme, the author really caught my attention that he was able to produce a template in about 5hrs. Admittedly, it took me a LOT longer to produce this template, but it was a worthy endeavor.
Features
One of the most important inclusions in this theme is the rendering of code
blocks. To do this, I am using the code fences feature of Hugo. Below is an
example of code syntax rendering of the the theme.toml file.
