Build a search index with Lunr in Hugo

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 10:00:00 +0200

Hugo can emit a custom output format: a search.json file with every page. The client downloads the index once and then queries lunr locally.

The index template

// build the index from the rendered pages
const index = lunr(function () {
 this.ref("uri");
 this.field("title");
 this.field("content");
 for (const doc of request.response) {
 this.add(doc);
 lookup[doc.uri] = doc;
 }
 return 200;
});

Note: the index is rebuilt on every build. With a few hundred posts the file stays under 200 KB.¹

First test micropost: an IndieWeb response plus h-entry markup.

A blue + green dark palette

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0200

The theme uses six roles: Primary (green), Content, Links (blue), Visited, Background, Inactive. Surfaces and borders are mixes of Content over Background, so no extra hue enters the chrome.

An unvisited link is blue; a visited link is sage; on :hover it turns green. Every text pairing clears WCAG AA, and body text and code reach AAA.¹

Primary on Background measures ~10.2:1, well past the 7:1 AAA threshold for normal text — see the style guide for the full contrast table. ↩︎

Math Sample

KaTeX can be used to generate complex math formulas server-side.

$$ \phi = \frac{(1+\sqrt{5})}{2} = 1.6180339887\cdots $$

Additional details can be found on GitHub or on the Wiki .

The following are two code samples using syntax highlighting.

Test markdown

Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

You can write regular markdown here and Jekyll will automatically convert it to a nice webpage. I strongly encourage you to take 5 minutes to learn how to write in markdown - it’ll teach you how to transform regular text into bold/italics/headings/tables/etc.

Here is some bold text

Here is a secondary heading

Here’s a useless table:

Number	Next number	Previous number
Five	Six	Four
Ten	Eleven	Nine
Seven	Eight	Six
Two	Three	One

How about a yummy crepe?

To be

Fri, 13 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

To be, or not to be–that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep– No more–and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. ‘Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep– To sleep–perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. There’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprise of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action. – Soft you now, The fair Ophelia! – Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembered.

Dear diary

Tue, 27 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

What is it with that Mary girl? Dragging me to school every day. As if I had a choice. What you don’t hear in those nursery rhymes is that she starves me if I don’t go to school with her; it’s the only way I can stay alive! I’m thinking about being adopted by Little Bo Peep, sure I may get lost, but anything is better than being with Mary and those little brats at school (shudder, shudder).

Soccer

From Wikipedia:

Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer,[2] is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries, making it the world’s most popular sport.[3][4][5][6] The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal.

Pirates arrrr

Piracy is typically an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore. It does not normally include crimes committed against persons traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). The term has been used throughout history to refer to raids across land borders by non-state agents.
