Historia

Historia is a theme for wmk based on the single-page HTML template Story by HTML5 UP.

Although Historia is primarily intended for a single-page website, it is possible to use it for a multiple-page site as well by configuring a main menu for navigation (using site.with_topmenu -- see below). However, the theme is probably not a good fit for a blog site.

A demo of the theme can be seen here.

Configuration

Installation is the same as any other wmk theme: clone, link or copy into themes and put the line theme: historia into wmk_config.yaml.

The following keys in the site portion of wmk_config.yaml are used by the theme:

• title
• description
• keywords
• with_topmenu (boolean, default false; if true, a hamburger menu icon is placed in the top right corner).
• topmenu_title (title of the modal window containing the menu; the default is simply "Menu").
• topmenu_links (list of links, each with the keys 'url' and 'title').
• with_footer (boolean, default false)
• footer_icons (optional list of icons, each with the keys 'type', 'label' and 'link').
• footer_text (text for the footer, appearing below the footer icons if they are present).
• frontpage_data: A list of yaml files containing data for sections of the frontpage. Each yaml file contains data for the info argument for a shortcode, as well as the extra key section_type, which indicates the name of the target shortcode (banner, spotlight, items, gallery, or simple -- see further below). This is an alternative to creating a content/index.md file, which has precedence if it exists.

Shortcodes

The shortcodes for Historia take a single argument, info, which may be specified directly as a Python dict or as the name of a YAML file containing a representation of that dict.

There are five shortcodes corresponding to each of the section types in the original Story template:

• banner, generally used at the top of the page for a hero-like effect.
• spotlight, which is similar to banner but smaller and intended for use anywhere on the page.
• gallery, a gallery of clickable thumbnail images.
• items, a grid of short items.
• simple, generic content of a mainly textual nature.

Banner

The banner shortcode expects the following keys in info:

• title, required.
• image, required.
• subtitle.
• content.
• button (a dict with the keys label and link, and optionally class).
• style (a string or dict - see below).

If style is a string, it contains the css classes characterizing the banner instance, e.g. style3 orient-left content-align-left image-position-center fullscreen onload-image-fade-in onload-content-fade-right.

If it is a dict, it describes the wished-for characteristics which then are transformed into a css class string by the shortcode, e.g.

{'subtype': 'circle',
 'orient': 'left',
 'align': 'left',
 'imgpos': 'center',
 'fullscreen': True,
 'onload': ['img-fadein', 'faderight']}

When style is specified as a dict, the following keys and values are supported for banner:

• subtype: split (default), boxed, circle, phone or ontop.
• fullscreen: True or False (default).
• orient: left (default) or right.
• align: left (default), right or center.
• imgpos: left, right (default) or center.
• onload: At most one of fadein, fadeup, fadedown, fadeleft or faderight, and at most one of img-fadein, img-fadeup, img-fadedown, img-fadeleft, img-faderight. Default: none.
• onscroll: At most one of fadein, fadeup, fadedown, fadeleft or faderight, and at most one of img-fadein, img-fadeup, img-fadedown, img-fadeleft, img-faderight. Default: none.
• color: none (default), invert, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Spotlight

The spotlight shortcode is similar to banner and mostly has the same arguments.

The style keys supported are also the same, with the following exceptions:

• There is an additional key, halfscreen, which is False by default.
• The default subtype is circle, not split.
• The default onscroll is img-fadein.
• The default imgpos is center.

Gallery

The gallery shortcode expects the following keys in info:

• title, optional.
• intro, optional.
• images, required. This is a list of dicts with the keys img (required), thumb, title, caption and button_text.
• wrapper_style: Styling for the wrapper, see the simple shortcode for options.
• gallery_style: Styling for the gallery itself; string or dict.

If gallery_style is specified as a dict, it supports the following keys and values:

• subtype: grid (default) or carousel.
• size: small, medium (default) or big.
• lightbox: True (default) or False.
• fadein: none, onload or onscroll (default).

Items

The items shortcode expects the following keys in info:

• title, optional
• intro, optional,
• items, a list of items (required). Each item may be either a string or a dict containing (at least some of) the keys fa_icon/img, link, title and text. The fa_icon represents a Fontawesome icon; it is a dict with the keys name (required), solid (a boolean, default False), brands (boolean, default False). The img similarly may be either a string or a dict with the keys src, class, alt, style, width and height.
• wrapper_style: Styling for the wrapper, see the simple shortcode for options.
• items_style: Styling for the items container and items.

If items_style is specified as a dict, it may contain the following keys:

• subtype: bordered (default), boxed or bare.
• size: small, medium (default) or big.
• fadein: none, onload or onscroll (default).

Simple

The simple shortcode expects the following keys in info:

• title, required.
• subtitle
• content, required.
• style: string or dict.

It accepts an extra optional argument in addition to info, namely heading_tag, which by default is h1.

If style is specified as a dict, it makes use of the following keys:

• subtype: none, padded (default) or framed.
• align: left (default), right or center.
• invert: True or False (default).
• index: True or False (default).
• color: none (default), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
