partial formatting upon deployment #45

Closed nhejazi closed 6 years ago

nhejazi commented 6 years ago

I just recently came across this theme and have been converting my blog over from another hugo theme. After forking the theme (to add MathJax support), I added it as a submodule and noticed that deployment via netlify seems to cause an odd formatting issue -- it seems that the theme partially renders but all content appears shifted to the upper left, with line formatting/wrapping being ignored.

The build looks fine when rendered locally via hugo server:

...but it doesn't look quite right upon deployment:

I looked at a few possibly related issues and thought this might be due to a new hugo version but setting the env var HUGO_VERSION to 0.31.1 (the latest on my system) didn't seem to resolve the issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

RESOLVED. It might be worth labeling this under "question" in case anyone else runs into this error in the future.

As best as I can tell, there exists theme-specific variation around how the core parameter baseURL may be specified in config.toml. For example, with my previous blog theme (future-imperfect), it is valid/sufficient to specify baseURL = "/", which held -- I guess because of its generic nature -- even when site is deployed via netlify. That is not the case with minimal. To get the site to render properly upon deployment, baseURL needed to be specified explicitly -- in my case this was baseURL = "https://myrepo.netlify.com/".
