product-doc-theme

Shared theme for Posit product documentation

Usage

---

IMPORTANT - Change in Google Analytics Policy: New documentation sites are not permitted to use Google Analytics due to a Posit Cookie Consent policy. Version 5+ of the theme disables Google Analytics by default. If your existing site is already using Google Analytics, uncomment the # include-in-header: "assets/_analytics.html" line in the _extension.yml file.

---

First, install the extension:

quarto add posit-dev/[email protected]

Next, update your project type and format in _quarto.yml:

project:
  title: "Posit Documentation"
  type: posit-docs

Additional configuration entries

The following entries may be unique to each product. Please review the following and make manual updates to your project, as required.

Navbar

If you have website.navbar.right entries in your _quarto.yml, merge the following with the existing entries:

website:
  navbar:
    right:
      - icon: "list"
        menu:
          - text: "docs.posit.co"
            href: "https://docs.posit.co"
          - text: "Posit Support"
            href: "https://support.posit.co/hc/en-us/"

Footer

Use the following website.page-footer in your _quarto.yml:

website:
  page-footer:
    left: |
      Copyright &copy; 2000-{{< env CURRENT_YEAR >}} Posit Software, PBC. All Rights Reserved.
    center: |
      Posit PRODUCT {{< env PRODUCT_VERSION >}}
    right:
      - icon: question-circle-fill
        aria-label: 'Link to Posit Support'
        href: "https://support.posit.co/hc/en-us"
      - icon: lightbulb-fill
        aria-label: 'Link to Posit Solutions'
        href: "https://solutions.posit.co/"
      - text: "<img alt='Link to Posit Documentation' src='/_extensions/posit-docs/assets/images/posit-guide-ltmd.svg' id='footer-right-logo'>"
        href: "https://docs.posit.co/"
      - text: "<img alt='Link to main Posit site' src='/_extensions/posit-docs/assets/images/posit-icon-fullcolor.svg' id='footer-right-posit-logo'>"
        href: "https://posit.co/"

Make the following modifications:

• Product name: Replace the PRODUCT placeholder with the product name.

• Product version: Adapt the PRODUCT_VERSION variable for your product based on how that information is made available. The example project gets a default environment variable value from the _environment file.

  You may need to dynamically define PRODUCT_VERSION before rendering your documentation.

  export PRODUCT_VERSION=$(cat version.txt)

• Copyright: Copyright dates are represented as a range from the year of first product release until now. Adapt the CURRENT_YEAR variable for your product and how that information is made available. The example project gets a default environment variable value from the _environment file.

  You may need to dynamically define CURRENT_YEAR before rendering your documentation.

  export CURRENT_YEAR=$(date "+%Y")

• Images: Copy the two images from the extension into your project and update the src paths.

  For example, you may have a top-level images directory:

  cp _extensions/posit-dev/posit-docs/assets/images/posit-guide-ltmd.svg images
  cp _extensions/posit-dev/posit-docs/assets/images/posit-icon-fullcolor.svg images

  These images are also available from GitHub.

By copy/pasting and editing these entries into your project's yml, those entries will overwrite 1:1 entries in the _extension.yml.

Release

To release a new version of this theme:

1. Make sure that the extension declares the target version and documents its changes.

   1. Update README.md; installation instructions reference the latest release version.
   2. Update _extensions/posit-docs/_extension.yml; the extension declares its version.
   3. Update changelog.md; make sure recent changes are announced.

   Commit and merge both changes to main.

2. Tag the target commit and push the tag.

   git tag -a v1.1.0 -m 'Release 1.1.0'
   git push origin v1.1.0

3. Create a GitHub release from that tag.
