The Hugo Theme Techdoc is a modern, responsive theme specifically designed for technical documentation, offering a clean and intuitive user experience. It provides a comprehensive set of features to streamline the creation and management of documentation websites.
Key features include a flexible documentation menu with both "Open Menu" and "Slide Menu" styles, ensuring easy navigation for users. The theme also supports a selective Table of Contents for individual pages, enhancing readability and content discoverability. Developers can customize the theme's appearance through various theme color options.
For content management, Techdoc integrates an "Edit link" that points directly to the documentation repository, facilitating quick updates and contributions. It automatically generates "Header links" for HTML headings, improving internal navigation within long documents. The theme comes with several custom shortcodes, such as "Code highlight with clipboard" for easy code sharing, "Alert panel" for important notices, and "Button" for calls to action. A powerful "Search Shortcode" powered by Algolia is also included, enabling efficient content search.
Beyond core documentation features, Techdoc supports "Open Graph" for improved social media sharing and includes integrations for "Google Analytics" and "Google Tag Manager" to track website performance.
Installation is flexible, supporting integration as a Git submodule or a Hugo module. For local development, the theme provides a hugo.toml configuration example and supports a Docker development environment, making it easy to set up and preview changes. The theme is compatible with Hugo minimum version 0.120.0 and the Goldmark Markdown parser.
This theme is ideal for projects requiring clear, maintainable, and easily navigable technical documentation, from software manuals to API guides.
