Coding Nights

Coding Nights is powered by a modified version of the Centrarium Theme.

Changes

Main changes regard the website style. CSS files have been modified to:

• make the home page's header image a little smaller so that the underlying text results more visible;
• change the website color combination (see _variable.scss);
• customize the footer content to display new variables added to _config.yml;
• style block quotes (see _typography.scss) - missing in the base theme;
• style caption for images (see _layout.scss) - missing in the base theme;
• change the syntax highlighting to use Rouge only (see _code.scss and _highlight.scss).

Fixes

The file header.html has been changed in order not to display categories and tags coming from the generation of jekyll-archives. The change excludes from the navigation menu any page with the archive layout.

{% for page in site.pages %}
  {% unless page.layout contains 'archive' %}
    {% if page.title and page.main_nav != false %}
      <li class="nav-link"><a href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a></li>
    {% endif %}
  {% endunless %}
{% endfor %}

Syntax Highlighting

Rouge, the default syntax highlighter in Jekyll 3, doesn't automatically style your code. To achieve the results in Coding Nights, Alex Peattie's blog post and repository were helpful and inspiring.
