Hugo Book

hugo-book is a documentation theme and static site framework for Hugo designed to create structured technical manuals, documentation books, and multilingual knowledge bases. It transforms directory structures into hierarchical navigation menus and formatted technical content.

The framework includes a specialized OpenAPI documentation renderer that converts specifications into structured reference pages. It also provides a full-text client-side search integration and supports multilingual content with right-to-left layout mirroring.

The project covers a wide range of content rendering capabilities, including mathematical equation typesetting, diagram generation, terminal recording integration, and interactive elements like tabbed panels and collapsible blocks. It also integrates a chronological blog system and tools for generating table of contents and stepper lists.

Visual customization is handled through color theme support, CSS style overrides, and custom HTML injection.
