Installation

Pelican-Docs will guide you through the initial installation. Once inside the project directory, Peli-Kiera theme can be installed by cloning the repo into your themes path and pointing to it in your pelicanconf.py.

# Create a themes directory if it doesn't exists
cd project-dir
pelican-quickstart
mkdir themes
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/aleylara/Peli-Kiera

# Add path to your theme directory in pelicanconf.py
THEME = 'themes/Peli-Kiera'

In order to get read times and links between articles, the theme requires pelican-readtime and neighbors plugins.

cd project-dir/
git clone https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins

# Add path to your plugins directory in pelicanconf.py
PLUGIN_PATHS = ['pelican-plugins']
PLUGINS = ['readtime', 'neighbors']

# Go ahead create few articles and populate output
pelican ./content
# start the local server on http://localhost:8000/
pelican --autoreload --listen

Final project directory structure should look similiar to this.

Pagination and image placement

The pagination is presented with the current page and 3 neighboring pages on either side.

<< < 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 > >>

Images can be moved on page by adding the tag #float-right, #float-left, #mid and #full in your markdown.

![Title]({static}/images/my_image-600x400.png#float-right "")

Similarly, the placement can also be applied to html directly by wrapping images in a <figure class="placement"> tag.

<figure class="float-left">
    <img src="path-to/images/my_image-600x400.png" alt="">
</figure>

Minimum image width of 600px is recommended. Images scale accordingly on smaller screens.
