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

   See the Supported Plugins section below for integrations with other mdBook plugins.

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!
