## Notes

#### Sidebar format ####

Use strong for captions, lists of links for items. Anything other than that won't be styled, so use your own styles for them.

E.g.
```
** Caption1 **
  * [[page1]]
  * [[page2]]
** Caption2 **
  * [[page3]]
  * [[page4]]
```

#### Previous/Next buttons ####

Previous/Next buttons follow links to dokuwiki on the sidebar, picked up by using querySelector(".aside > #sidebar a[data-wiki-id]"). The previous button on the first page will jump to root(/) by default. You can change this in "Start Page" option in the settings.

#### No link to login page ####

This theme doesn't have any links to the login page. Go directly to the login page by appending "&do=login" to the current URL.

#### Admonitions ####

This theme has "Read The Docs" style admonitions. To use them, wrap a content with a div that has a class "admonition" and a type.

E.g.
```
<html><div class="admonition note">
<p>Note!</p>
</div></html>
```

Types are:
- danger
- caution
- note
- tip

You can use "Wrap Plugin" to make it a bit simpler.

```
<WRAP admonition note>
Note!
</WRAP>
```

If you use the plugin, do not forget to add classes (admonition,danger,caution,note,tip) to the "noPrefix" plugin option otherwise admonitions will not be styled correctly. You need to add four types listed above and "admonition" to the option value.

## Customization

### Using Font Awesome ###

Even though this theme works without Font Awesome, you can use Font Awesome for better looking. If you decide to use it, check the option in the configuration manager to enable it. Do not forget to set the correct tag in the following option.

A home icon will appear beside the title, and +/- buttons on TOC, a mobile menu button will be replaced by Font Awesome.

### Using Google Fonts ###

Also, you can use google fonts for better looking. Lato and Robot fonts are set in font-family in this theme CSS. If you decide to use it, check the option in the configuration manager to enable it. Change the tags in the following option.

### Adding a fixed header/footer ###

This theme supports a fixed header and footer. On the "Template Style Setting" page, enter a header height in the "Header height" option, a footer height in the "Footer height" option. The theme will add paddings according to those options on top for header, bottom for footer. You can put your own header/footer in "header.html"/"footer.html" in the "lib/tbl/readthedokus/" directory. 

#### 1. Set header/footer height in "Template Style Settings" ####

These values must be valid css values.

e.g. "50px"

#### 2. Create header.html/footer.html ####

Create a file "header.html"/"footer.html" under (dokuwiki folder)/lib/tpl/readthedokus/.

Here is a sample header.html. This example also shows how to toggle a sidebar. Clicking the string "Header" toggles the sidebar.

```
<div onclick="toggleMenu();">Header</div>
<style>
header > div {
	background-color: khaki;
	position: fixed;
	height: 50px;
	left: 0;
	top: 0;
	right: 0;
}
</style>
<script>
function toggleMenu()
{
	dokus.toggleSidebar();
}
</script>
```

You might want to hide a mobile menu since both the sticky header and the mobile menu are displayed at the same time on mobile devices. To hide the mobile menu add below to CSS file (dokuwiki folder)/conf/userall.css

```
#mobileheader {
display: none;
}
```

### Centering the content ###

To center the content, enter the content width in the "Site width" option on the "Template Style Settings".

### Include Hooks ###

The theme has some include-hooks.
