Walt is a minimal documentation theme based on writ.css. It features classless styles for semantic HTML and supports light and dark mode based on system settings.
You can include the Walt stylesheet in your project in the following ways:
-
Copy the stylesheet from GitHub:
-
Install from npm:
npm install --save walt.css
-
Link to a CDN:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/walt.css/walt.css" />
For code syntax highlighting in Walt, I recommend using highlight.js with Catppuccin palettes. Use Macchiato for the dark color scheme and Latte for the light color scheme. For example, you may add the following to your HTML files:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//unpkg.com/@catppuccin/highlightjs/css/catppuccin-macchiato.css" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//unpkg.com/@catppuccin/highlightjs/css/catppuccin-latte.css" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)">In a stylesheet or style tag, unset the background in code blocks styled by highlight.js to maintain uniform background colors in code blocks and inline code:
.hljs,
code.hljs {
background: unset;
}You may also want to update the text color of comments if they no longer have enough contrast with their backgrounds:
code .hljs-comment {
color: var(--color-secondary-text);
}Walt is available as an MkDocs theme that features:
- classless styles for semantic HTML based on writ.css
- light mode and dark mode based on system settings
- an emoji favicon for browsers that support svg site icons
- code syntax highlighting using highlight.js
You can install it from PyPI using:
