Overview:

Jace-ty is an opinionated template for 11ty, a static site generator. It provides a folder structure for each post with proper passthrough for files, easy theme switching, RSS functionality, syntax highlighting, simple search feature, and comments powered by utteranc.es. The template is designed to be semantic and easy to customize.

Features:

  • Syntax Highlighting: Uses PrismJS theme prism-a11y-dark.css with @11ty/eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight.
  • Simple Search: Allows for title, subtitle, summary, and meta field searches on posts.
  • RSS: Includes an Atom 1.0 valid feed from feed.njk.
  • Folder Structure for Posts: Each post gets a folder, allowing you to keep your assets relative to your content.
  • Comments powered by utteranc.es: If you set up utteranc.es on your repo, you can include comments on posts.
  • Theme Files take a Backseat to Local Files: You can customize the theme by creating or modifying files in the src/layouts/ folder. If a file with the same name exists in src/theme/jace-ty/, the layouts file will be used instead.
  • Easy Theme Switching: The template allows you to switch themes easily by defining the theme in the site.js file.
