Feature requests & support

I'm afraid I'm unable to accept feature requests or provide user support for this theme. The Zola documentation and Tera documentation are great resources and there is a Zola discussion forum. If you've found a bug in the themse please open a github issue.

Contributing

Contributions are very welcome! If you are planning to add a feature to the theme then feel free to open an issue to discuss your approach and we will be able to say if it's it will likely be accepted. Please keep the following in mind:

• Only widely generic features will be accepted, anything too specific should be kept to your own templates.
• Be careful about destroying indentation as Tera syntax doesn't seem to be widely supported by IDEs.
• Keep it lean. Adding bloat will likely result in your PR being rejected.
• Consider backward compatibility, ideally people blindly-upgrading won't see any unexpected changes to their sites.

New theme maintainers are welcome but should provide pull-request or two first!
