A very similar style to the original tufte hugo theme but with a few modifications. Used in my blogdown blog.

Creating a Menu Banner #13

Hi @nstrayer / @LucyMcGowan

Firstly many thanks for creating tuftesque. I just started 2018 with a new blog and look forward to putting up more posts.

I had a couple of questions:

  1. What is the cleanest way to update to the latest version of the tuftesque theme for my new blog e.g. to get syntax highlighting working?
  2. Is it possible to create a banner for the tuftesque theme to have sections e.g. About, Posts, CV etc. An example that I really like is this blog

Thanks,

Shamindra

If you want to get the syntax highlighting to work with tuftesque, steps 1 through 2 of Amber Thomas's tutorial, "Adding syntax highlighting to blogdown posts" got it working for me.

As for your second question, I don't know how to work with the Hugo Kube theme that Professor Restall is using, but I would suggest looking at Bootstrap4's navbar CSS. I used this to get a fixed navigation bar at the top of my website. Adding bootstrap CSS doesn't interfere with tuftesque CSS. If you use the most recent version of Bootstrap4, you don't have to face the kinds of problems that Amber Thomas wrote in step 3 of her tutorial.

I have a blogpost explaining everything in more detail, and feel free to use the code at my github repo.

Thank you @amikami102 for your very helpful reply. I've switched away from tuftesque theme in the meantime, but will definitely use your post as a reference if I go back to it.
