Multi language support
The theme supports a localization system written in javascript. At the moment it supports Italian and English but it is possible to add new languages.
Add a language
- Create a new language file in
js/i18nfolder by usingen.jsorit.jsas template and translate values. - List it in
js/languages-builder.js - Pack language files in
languages.js
Pack language files
To pack files we use packjs npm library:
npm install --save-dev packjs
Then from js folder:
packjs i18n/languages-builder.js languages.js
The code will loop through the wiki.languages object keys and for each key, it will add an option to the language switcher. By selecting an available language, the code will redirect to the language subfolder.
The theme is designed to handle different builds for each language. Specifically, we will have the documentation in Italian hosted under https://mywiki.eu/it, the documentation in English under https://mywiki.eu/en, and so on.
Please note: If you have a single language site, just remove the languages you don't need from
js/languages.js. If you want to modify the behavior of the language switcher, you can override thejs/locales.jsfile.
Language definition
Each build relies on config.extra.language parameter to define the wiki language (the default is en), on base.html we set the html lang attribute and a global javascript constant config_lang with that value:
<html lang="{{ config.extra.language|default('en') }}">
const config_lang = "{{ config.extra.language|default('en') }}";
The config.extra.language variable is used also to set search functionalities. There are some limitations on the values it can assume. Allowed languages are: ar, da, de, du, es, fi, fr, hi, hu, it, ja, jp, nl, no, pt, ro, ru, sv, ta, th, tr, vi, zh. If you want to use a different language, you should not to use mkdocs-izsam-search plugin and customize the base.html file removing all the code related to it.
{% if config.extra.language and not 'en' in config.extra.language %}
<script src="{{ 'js/lunr-languages/lunr.stemmer.support.js'|url }}"></script>
<script src="{{ 'js/lunr-languages/lunr.multi.js'|url }}"></script>
{% set js_path = 'js/lunr-languages/lunr.' ~ config.extra.language ~ '.js' %}
<script src="{{ js_path|url }}"></script>
{% endif %}
Theme features
Use image caption
If you need to use a caption for images, you can use the markdown image title sintax.

A function in
theme.jsloops all images and if a title exists will append afigcaptiontag after the image.
Use icons inline
To use icons inline inside the contents, please add the alt attribute inline-icon:

Images will have inherent size and displayed inline.
Use diagram as images (no plantuml)
To use diagram inside the contents as images, please add the alt attribute diagram to avoid box shadow.

Credits
For the icons, we are using the free Iconic package, converted to a font with the IcoMoon app.
