## Features
- 🎨 **Five color themes** — the navbar button cycles **Light → Dark → Nord → Dracula → Catppuccin**, remembering the visitor's choice (falls back to the OS preference).
- 🧱 **Monochrome base design** — restrained grayscale palette with crisp typography (Inter).
- 👤 **Profile hero** — circular avatar, site title, slogan and social links on the homepage.
- 📚 **Right sidebar** — drop any Bludit sidebar plugin into it (categories, tags, search…).
- 🎨 **Five-theme swatch picker** — click the theme button to open a dropdown with coloured swatches for Light, Dark, Nord, Dracula and Catppuccin. Choice persists via `localStorage` + cookie (no flash on next load); falls back to OS preference.
- 🧱 **Monochrome base design** — restrained grayscale palette with crisp Inter typography.
- 👤 **Profile hero** — circular avatar, site title, slogan and social links on the homepage front page.
- 📖 **Sticky Table of Contents** — articles that contain headings (`h2`/`h3`/`h4`) get a left sidebar ToC that sticks while scrolling and highlights the active section. Layout automatically switches to 3-column with a wider container.
- 📚 **Smart right sidebar** — shows only About / Categories / Hit Counter on the homepage (navigation is redundant there); shows the full plugin set on article pages.
- 🔀 **Randomized navigation** — the Navigation/Pages plugin list is shuffled on each load.
- ⏱️ **Reading time & dates** shown on the post list and single posts.
- 🔗 **Social icons** in the navbar and hero, using SVG files in `img/` (GitHub, Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, and more).
- 🔗 **Social icons** in the navbar and hero (SVG files in `img/`).
- 🏷️ **Tags & categories** rendered as pill badges.
- 📱 Fully responsive, no flash of the wrong theme on load.
- 🖼️ **Image lightbox** — clicking any article image opens it full-screen. A dark overlay with a magnifier icon appears on hover to hint at the interaction. Closes on click or Esc.
- 🎠 **Image carousel** — use a ` ```carousel ` fenced block, one image per line (markdown image syntax or plain URL).
- 📑 **Tabbed code blocks** — use a ` ```tabs ` fenced block with `[Tab Name]` or `@tab Name` headers to show content from multiple servers/environments side by side.
- 📜 **Code block scrollbar** — always-visible horizontal scrollbar on `<pre>` blocks with a custom slim style that respects the active theme.
- 📱 Fully responsive; no flash of the wrong theme on load.

## Themes
Each theme is just a set of CSS custom properties. Light lives in `:root`; the
others override it under `[data-theme="dark"]`, `[data-theme="nord"]`,
`[data-theme="dracula"]` and `[data-theme="catppuccin"]`. The attribute is set on `<html>` before paint (in
`php/head.php`) to avoid a flash, and the navbar button cycles through them,
persisting the choice to `localStorage`.

override it under `[data-theme="dark"]`, `[data-theme="nord"]`,
`[data-theme="dracula"]` and `[data-theme="catppuccin"]`.
To tweak a palette or add your own theme, edit/duplicate the variable blocks at
the top of [css/style.css](css/style.css) and add the theme name to the
`THEMES` array in the toggle script in [index.php](index.php).
The attribute is set on `<html>` before the first paint (in `php/head.php`) to
avoid a flash. The navbar swatch picker updates it at runtime and persists the
choice to both `localStorage` and a cookie.
To add a new theme, add a variable block in `css/style.css` and add the theme
name + swatch colours to the picker in `php/navbar.php` and the `THEMES` array
in `index.php`.
## Table of Contents
When an article's rendered HTML contains any `h2`, `h3` or `h4` headings, the
layout automatically switches from 2-column to 3-column:
```
[ Left ToC (col-md-3) ] [ Article (col-md-6) ] [ Right sidebar (col-md-3) ]
```
The ToC is hidden on mobile. The left column has no `align-self-start` so it
stretches to the full article height, which is what `position: sticky` needs to
function. The container switches to `.container-wide` (1400 px max-width) and
the navbar inner container widens to match via `body.has-toc .navbar .container`.
## Tabbed code blocks
Use a ` ```tabs ` fenced block. Delimit tabs with `[Tab Name]` (brackets) or
`@tab Tab Name` (@ prefix):
````
```tabs
[pgs01]
root@pgs01:~# psql -c "SELECT …"
[pgs02]
root@pgs02:~# psql -c "SELECT …"
```
````
## Image carousel
Use a ` ```carousel ` fenced block. Each non-empty line is one slide. Accepts
standard markdown image syntax or a bare URL with an optional `| caption`:
````
```carousel
![Front panel](/bl-content/uploads/…/server1.png)
![Rear view](/bl-content/uploads/…/server2.png)
```
````
Use `![]()` (empty alt) to show no caption. Supports swipe on touch devices.
## Randomized navigation
If the **Navigation** (or **Pages**) plugin is in the sidebar, its list is
shuffled on every page load by a small script in [index.php](index.php). The
plugin's output is wrapped in `.js-random-nav`; if your plugin uses a different
CSS class, adjust the detection in `index.php` accordingly.
