Theme Customization

An Otter Wiki was not designed with the idea that user-defined topics might become necessary. However, since there is a need, a way to modify the theme has been added.

If you've made improvements that you'd like to share, don't forget, pull requests are always welcome. Or upon up an issue post your code and a screenshot.

Check otterwiki/docs/custom_css_example on github for ready-to-test examples.

custom directory

With version 2.3.1 the template loads a custom.css and a custom.js which are empty by default. You can mount the directory into the container, for example with a docker-compose.yaml like this:

version: '3'
services:
  otterwiki:
    image: redimp/otterwiki:2
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    volumes:
      - ./app-data:/app-data
      # a custom local directory with a custom.css and a custom.js
      - ./custom:/app/otterwiki/static/custom

Examples

Serif Pages

This is an example custom.css that uses the serif font Baskervville for the content rendered in the page.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Baskervville');

.content > .page {
    font-family: 'Baskervville', serif;
    font-weight: 400;
}
