Lycorma

A Jekyll theme designed from the ground up to work well for serialized fiction.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-theme-lycorma"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: jekyll-theme-lycorma

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-theme-lycorma

Usage

There is no pagination currently, and there is only one layout. All styling is done in main.scss except for the initial reset (in /_sass/reset.scss) and the syntax highlighting (in /_sass/syntax.css, borrowed from github and mostly ignored because this theme isn't intended for discussing software).

For a page to appear in the sidebar, it needs sidebar: true set in it's frontmatter.

Each post is assumed to have the following front matter, as well:

• title: The title of Your piece.
• description: A short synopsis of Your piece.
• date: The original date Your piece was published.

It's also important that You specify certain things in the _config.yml file. There are a few nonstandard settings:

• license: The license for Your work. I recommend a Creative Commons license of some sort, but You do You.
• licurl: The url of whichever license You've chosen for Your work.
• author: The name of the license holder (that is, probably Your name) for the work.
