Customization

Ter should work out of the box with zero configuration needed to get a decent output. However, it’s possible to customize various aspects of the rendered website.

Note

The following customization options are outdated as Ter recently switched to server-side Preact rendering.

This is done to avoid having any extra files in the directory and potentially having outdated templates/styles. Simplicity > customization. I might add an option to use local Preact components for rendering in future.

Styles  #

Main page styles are defined in .ter/assets/ter.css. The content-related CSS is mostly classless to avoid depending on specific classes from the template.

Code highlights  #

Code snippets are highlighted by highlight.js and use the theme defined in .ter/assets/hljs.css, which can be replaced by any highlight.js-compatible theme file.

Templates  #

Ter uses Eta templates to build pages. It’s possible to customize the output by changing the default view files in .ter/views/.
