Customization

Pages

TaxonPages out of the box support markdown and vue for content sites. Add your content pages inside pages folder. By default, TaxonPages use the file name to create the route. For example, if the filename is "contributors.md" the route to access it will be http://yourtaxonpagessite/contributors

Style

If you want to change the color palette, you can edit /config/style/theme.css file, colors must be in RGB format. TaxonPages use TailwindCSS framework for the style. We already provide default settings for colors and markdown. If you want to make any change to your configuration, you must do so in the config/vendor/tailwind.config.js file. This file uses the TaxonPages configuration as a default. It is possible to overwrite it as long as you use it as a preset.
