cd hexo # cd into the root directory of your Hexo blog

npm install --save hexo-renderer-jade hexo-generator-archive hexo-generator-category-enhance hexo-generator-feed hexo-generator-tag

You can skip the second line provided you have already installed hexo-renderer-jade , hexo-generator-category-enhance , hexo-generator-feed, hexo-generator-tag and hexo-generator-archive in your Hexo blog's root directory.

Find theme: in your _config.yml at the root directory of your Hexo blog, and change that line into theme: typography, set language to zh-cn or en as you like , then add these lines:

# Generate archive page
archive_generator:
  per_page: 0

# Generate categories index page and each category page
category_generator:
  per_page: 10
  enable_index_page: true

# Generate tags index page and each tag page
tag_generator:
  per_page: 10
  enable_index_page: true

# Generator atom feed for you website
feed:
  type: atom
  path: atom.xml
  limit: 20
  hub:
  content:
  content_limit: 140
  content_limit_delim: ' '

cd themes/typography
git pull

You may encounter the error modified: themes/typography if you are managing the whole blog with git. In that case, instead of using git push, we recommend you to download the zip and update the theme manually.

Typography has packed up several labor-saving functions, thus you can easily make any change at any time in the _config.yml file located in the root directory of the theme.

Typography has three titles: title, title_primary, and title_secondary. The title is defined in the _config.yml inside the Hexo blog's root directory while the title_primary and title_secondary are defined in Typography's _config.yml.

• title: The <title> of all the HTML pages.
• title_primary: The bigger title to display on nav/side bar.
• title_secondary : The smaller title to display on nav/side bar.

Modify the .yml files in themes/typography/languages or add new files according to your need.

It is possible to control the length for all the summaries on the index page by setting a value for truncate_len. The default length is 160.

e.g. truncate_len: 160

You can choose two color styles:

• light
• dark

themeStyle: light # light, dark

The comment box is a place for readers to exchange their ideas with the author. Typography has integrated two 3rd-party comment services, and they are ready to use at any time.

Currently, Typography supports comment services provided by Disqus and LiveRe. The only thing you need to do is to set the corresponding key for the comment service that you would like to use.

e.g. disqus: disqus_shortname OR livere: livere_data_uid

Do not use two comment services at the same time, or the post will be followed by two comment boxes. Just leave blank for the rest of the comment service-related options.

You can choose two styles to show pagination:

• simple: just show previous page and next page link
• show page count: except page link, still show what current page number is and how many pages in total, set below to true in Typography's _config.yml:

showPageCount: true

You can choose to show categories and tags links behind post title in index and post page:

showCategories: true
showTag: true

Prepare favicon.png file and put in themes/typography/source/images/favicon.png

Open file: themes/typography/source/js/google-analytics.js

Find this line: ga('create', 'UA-73442912-1', 'auto');

Change 'UA-73442912-1' to your google analytics id

Typography gives you the chance to insert unique SEO-friendly meta description tags for different posts. Also, it is handy. Just add a new line in the head section of your post:

title: Another post
date: 1970-01-01 00:00
desc: Description to be inserted into the metadata of the post page.
---

Then the generated HTML file will contain:

<meta name="description" content="Description to be inserted into the metadata of the post page.">

If desc is not specified, the first 140 words of the post will be used as the description.

Typography natively supports the following social network accounts:

• Twitter
• GitHub
• Instagram
• Sina Weibo

To use light up those icons, just simply set the values for the corresponding options.

twitter: user_name
weibo: user_id/permanent_name
instagram: user_name
github: user_name

Tips: leave blanks to remove the icons from the site.

Typography uses node-sass and scss-compile to generate .css files for styling. We have provided several options such as background and foreground colors for you to choose. When your editing is finished, don't forget to run the commands below to re-generate the .css files:

cd themes/typography
npm run scss-compile

.scss files are located in theme/typography/raw/scss.

As for the jade templates inside theme/typography/layout, just edit them and remember to add some pepper as you like it.
