Bookdown.io With Bootswatch Styles And Prism Syntax Highlighting
================================================================

[](#bookdownio-with-bootswatch-styles-and-prism-syntax-highlighting)

If you generate your documentation with [bookdown](http://bookdown.io/) and want some nice styles and syntax highlighting for your code blocks, then this package come to the rescue :).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installation of this library uses Composer. For Composer documentation, please refer to [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/).

Put the following into your `composer.json` or run `composer require tobiju/bookdown-bootswatch-templates`.

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "tobiju/bookdown-bootswatch-templates": "^1.1.0"
    }
}

```

Put the following into your `bookdown.json`

```
{
    ...
    "template": "../vendor/tobiju/bookdown-bootswatch-templates/templates/main.php"
}

```

Styles
------

[](#styles)

Choose your preferred style by setting the `CSS_BOOTSWATCH` and `CSS_PRISM` environment variable before generating the book. The default Bootswatch style is `cerulean` and for Prism `ghcolors`. See the example below how to use another style.

Visit [bootswatch.com](https://bootswatch.com/) to see how the style looks like.

- cerulean
- cosmo
- cyborg
- darkly
- flatly
- journal
- lumen
- paper
- readable
- sandstone
- simplex
- slate
- spacelab
- superhero
- united
- yeti

Visit [prismjs.com](http://prismjs.com/) / [prism-styles](https://github.com/PrismJS/prism-themes) to see how the Prism style looks like.

- prism
- dark
- funky
- okaidia
- twilight
- coy
- atom-dark
- base16-ateliersulphurpool.light
- cb
- ghcolors
- hopscotch
- pojoaque
- xonokai

Top menu logo
-------------

[](#top-menu-logo)

To add an individual logo instead of displaying *Home* you can set the environment variable `MENU_LOGO` which must be an absolute URI to an image.

Generate Documentation
----------------------

[](#generate-documentation)

> Change the path to your bookdown.json file.

See the [documentation example](https://github.com/tobiju/bookdown-bootswatch-templates-example). It can be compiled using [bookdown](http://bookdown.io) and [Docker](https://www.docker.com/). The following example uses the [Docker Bookdown](https://hub.docker.com/r/sandrokeil/bookdown/) and you can use it also out of the box for your project.

The style is set by an environment `CSS_BOOTSWATCH` variable and the PRISM style by `CSS_PRISM`. Here is an example for the `superhero` style with the prism `coy` style.

```
$ docker run -it --rm -e CSS_BOOTSWATCH=superhero -e CSS_PRISM=coy -v $(pwd):/app sandrokeil/bookdown doc/bookdown.json
$ docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd):/app php:5.6-cli php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t /app/doc/html
```

or for Bookdown via Composer.

```
$ export CSS_BOOTSWATCH=superhero && export CSS_PRISM=coy && php ./vendor/bin/bookdown doc/bookdown.json
$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t doc/html/
```

Then browse to
