🪴 Frappé

🌺 Macchiato

Usage

1. Initialise your mdBook with the theme files:

   mdbook init --theme <name>
   

2. Enter the book directory and remove all theme files except index.hbs:

   cd <name>
   # Remove all files except index.hbs
   find ./theme -type f ! -name 'index.hbs' -delete
   # Remove the left over empty directories
   rm -d fonts css
   

3. Download the catppuccin.css file from the latest GitHub release to the theme directory.

4. Update additional-css key within the book.toml as shown below

   [output.html]
   -additional-css = []
   +additional-css = ["./theme/catppuccin.css"]
   

5. Edit the index.hbs file to include the Catppuccin flavors:

   - <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="light">Light</button></li>
   - <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="rust">Rust</button></li>
   - <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="coal">Coal</button></li>
   - <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="navy">Navy</button></li>
   - <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="ayu">Ayu</button></li>
   + <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="latte">Latte</button></li>
   + <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="frappe">Frappé</button></li>
   + <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="macchiato">Macchiato</button></li>
   + <li role="none"><button role="menuitem" class="theme" id="mocha">Mocha</button></li>
   

   Additionally, you can use default-theme and preferred-dark-theme keys for setting default light/dark mode themes in your book.toml.

   E.g. To set the default theme to latte and default dark mode to mocha:

   [output.html]
   + default-theme = "latte"
   + preferred-dark-theme = "mocha"
   

6. Build using mdbook build and enjoy your new Catppuccin flavors!

   git clone https://github.com/catppuccin/mdbook

2. Generate the CSS files:
