Usage

Important

The mdbook-catppuccin rust package has been deprecated. For further information on why this decision was made, please refer to catppuccin/mdBook#107

Please follow the instructions below to install the Catppuccin theme for mdBook.

  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 CSS files 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", "./theme/catppuccin-admonish.css"]
  5. Edit the index.hbs file to include the Catppuccin flavours:

    - <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">FrappΓ©</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 flavours!

Development

  1. Clone the repository and navigate to the repository root.

    git clone https://github.com/catppuccin/mdbook
    cd mdbook
  2. Generate the CSS files:

    cd palette
    npm install
    npm run build

πŸ™‹ FAQ

  • Q: "What's the catppuccin-admonish.css file?"
    A: It is a CSS file that is used to style the admonishments that are generated by mdbook-admonish. You can remove this file if you are not using this plugin.

    E.g.

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

Acknowledgement

mdbook-admonish for inspiration on the install command for the now deprecated mdbook-catppuccin binary.
