Flip's Set Up Notes

These are notes on how I modified the May 2018 version of Hugo Theme Academic (George Cushen) to create my personal website.

Main Goals

Update the Academic theme style to include my Feynman diagram footer, which requires some hacks to the style sheets.
Note: modifying the footer ends up being a little subtle because of the way the footer margins and padding are tied to the font size. The font size changes (responsive design), which means the footer parameters change with screen size. In turn, this makes it difficult to place graphical footer elements.

My work environment

I used netlify to kickstart my fork of Hugo Theme Academic. This should make it easier to have my university url point to the netlify repository.

I am using the GitHub OS X interface to take care of synchronizing with GitHub. I use Atom to edit files.

I have a separate folder `\Graphic Sources`` that includes source files for Affinity Designer graphics.

1. Initial Set Up

Here are the steps that I'm taking to go from the clean example site to one that is ready for hacking.

Delete:

\content\home\* except about.md, contact.md, and teaching.md (template)
\content\post , \content\publication, \content\talk
Remove the fluff in config.toml ... there's a lot fo commentary. They're good to have handy, but it's distracting when the config file gets longer. I'll make a backup and then streamline.

2. Footer and Main Page Design

The biggest change is to update the footer. Since this is the part that's been giving me the most headaches.

Create a <div id="THECONTENT">. The purpose: this will be a white canvas. The <body> tag behind it will be dark gray to match the header and footer so that "overscrolling" will not look strange. (A) Make folder /layouts/partials/ to include template overwrites. (B) Copy the following files from the corresponding template folder footer_container.html, head_custom.html, and navbar.html.
Add the following line to the bottom of navbar.html:

<div id="THECONTENT"> <!-- closed in footer_container.html; see flip2019.css -->

Add the following line to the bottom of footer_container.html:

</div> <!--  ends id=#THECONTENT from navbar.html; see flip2019.css -->

Add folder: /static/css/ Insert file flip2019.css (based on flip2018.css) This introduces a bunch of kludges. For now, the main point of this file is to contain:

footer {
  /* font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; */
  background-color:#333333;
}

#botbar1{
	background-color:#C1BBAB;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
  position:relative;
  top: 85px;
	left: 0px;
	z-index: 9;
	height: 7px;
	width: 100%;
}

body{
  background-color:#333333;
}

Load flip2019layout.css by updating the custom_css line in config.toml:

custom_css = ['flip2019layout.css']

At this point, you should have a dark gray footer. Now let's get to the gray line separating the main content and the footer. This is what we call #botbar1.

In \layouts\partials\footer_container.html, insert a #botbar div:

<footer class="site-footer">
  <!-- FLIP'S NEW STUFF BELOW -->
  <div id="botbar1"></div>
  <!-- FLIP'S NEW STUFF ABOVE -->
  <div class="container">

The bottom line should show up at the bottom of the page. You should play with the #botbar1 top margin in flip2019layout.css to see where this line ends up. There's something pressing and subtle to sort out first, though:

Fix the footer style so that it's written in px rather than rem or em. The problem with rem (relative to root) or em is that when the font size changes from responsive design, the padding will shift which will force you to re-calculate the top shift of #botbar.

footer {
  /* font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif; */
  background-color:#333333;
  /* Fixing academic.css line 979  */
  margin: 64px 0 0;
  padding: 32px 0;
}

#botbar1{
	background-color:#C1BBAB;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
  position:relative;
  top: -35px;
	left: 0px;
	z-index: 9;
	height: 7px;
	width: 100%;
}

Now insert Feynman footer. Insert iamge into /static/img/layout/feymmanfooter.png. Here's what seems to work for flip2019layout.css:

#feynmanfoot{
	background-size: 250px 200px;
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	background-position:left top;
  pointer-events: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
  position: relative;
  /* bottom: -100px;  */ /* if you place div above footer */
  bottom: 205px;
  left: 40vw;
	z-index: 200;
	height: 200px;
	width: 250px;
	text-align: right;
}

And here's what I put into footer_container.html:

<footer class="site-footer">
  <!-- FLIP'S NEW STUFF BELOW -->
  <div id="botbar1"> </div>
  <div style="position: relative; width: 0; height: 0">
    <div id="feynmanfoot" style="background-image:url('{{ .Site.BaseURL }}/img/{{ .Site.Params.footmark }}');"></div>
  </div>
  <div style="height: 20px">
    <!-- JUST A SPACER -->
  </div>
  <!-- FLIP'S NEW STUFF ABOVE -->
  <div class="container">

(Note: there's an error in the 2018 version of my styel file where a stray $ makes the feymanfoot div fail to be found on Netlify.)

3. Personalization

config.toml: avatar = "profile/Flip600_sq.jpg" (and upload the respective file)
In header.html (theme default) we have the following: So insert icon.png and icon-192.png as appropriate.

  <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="{{ "/img/icon.png" | relURL }}">
  <link rel="apple-touch-icon" type="image/png" href="{{ "/img/icon-192.png" | relURL }}">

(You don't need to make edits to header.html for this.)

cryptedemail.css is a hack for displaying e-mail addresses in a way that isn't too easy for bots to scrape. Include it in the config.toml list of css files. It goes with \layouts\shortcodes\flipemail.html which provides a simple way to insert e-mail addresses. You'll also want to break up the e-mail address in config.toml:

  # email = "test@example.org"  # using cryptedmail
  email1 = "flip.tanedo" # using cryptedmail
  email2 = "ucr" # using cryptedmail
  email3 = "edu" # using cryptedmail

Commenting out the old e-mail removes that line in the contact widget. We'll use the cryptedmail trick. Create a contact.html widget in \layouts\partials\widgets\ to

<!-- FLIP UPDATE -->
<!-- from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41566570 -->
      
      {{ with $.Site.Params.email1 }}
      <li>
        <i class="fa-li fa fa-envelope fa-2x" aria-hidden="true"></i>
        <span id="person-email" itemprop="email">
        <!-- {{- if $autolink }}<a href="mailto:{{ . }}">{{ $.Site.Params.email2 }}</a>{{ else }}{{ . }}{{ end -}} -->
          <a data-name="{{ $.Site.Params.email1 }}" data-domain="{{ $.Site.Params.email2 }}" data-tld="{{ $.Site.Params.email3 }}" href="#" class="cryptedmail" onclick="window.location.href = 'mailto:' + this.dataset.name + '@' + this.dataset.domain + '.' + this.dataset.tld"></a>
        </span>
      </li>
      {{ end }}

<!-- /FLIP UPDATE -->

Added flip2018.css (introduces comment class, also Google calendar settings), and flipaboutme.css which modifies the about widget.
Added about2.html in \layouts\partials\widgets and modified \content\home\about.md to have the line

widget = "about2"

4. Fonts 'n stuff

I shouldn't need to install any fonts in head_custom.html; do not do:

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Titillium+Web" rel="stylesheet">

Insert \data\fonts\flipfont.toml and update the config.toml file to include

font = "flipfont"

To fix the e-mail font, put this in flip2018.css:

#person-email{
  font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif;
}

.style-email{
  font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif;
}

Use style-email in the flipemail.html shortcode:

<!-- in conjunction with cryptedemail.css -->
<a
  data-name="{{ .Get "first" }}"
  data-domain="{{ .Get "domain" }}"
  data-tld="{{ .Get "last" }}"
  href="#"
  class="cryptedmail"
  onclick="window.location.href = 'mailto:' + this.dataset.name + '@' + this.dataset.domain + '.' + this.dataset.tld"
  class="style-email">
</a>

5. Colors

Paste in data\themes\fliptheme.toml (this is a color theme)
Include it in config.toml

color_theme = "fliptheme"

6. Tweaking the nav bar

The only qualm I have about the navbar is that it defaults to being "tap to menu" for sizes below 1200px. This is called the breakpoint of the navigation bar. 1200px exceedingly generous if you only have a few sections on your main page or if you want to use the navbar to navigate to other pages.

6.a. How not to do it

See line 1232 of \themes\academic\layouts\partials\css\academic.css to tweak this:

@media screen and (max-width: 1200px) {

I think you should be able to copy academic.css into a local folder (you should not tweak the template file in the \themes\ directory). This, however, will supercede the entire academic.css style file, which may not be what you want long term if there are updates. (Update: I can confirm that this strategy does work, though.) Instead, we need to find a way to overwrite only the display:block; style.

Maybe the alternative should be {display: inline;}. No. There's definitely more to it than this. Looks like there's some bootstrap being called, e.g. data-toggle. I'm trying to sleuth this from the navbar.html template file.

6.b. The correct way to do it

Indeed, the three calls to <span class="icon-bar"></span> is the triple-bar "menu bar"; this comes from bootstrap.
Lots of info looking at pages about the Bootstrap navigation bar!

From bootstrapius:

The navbar collapse is the component which wraps the remain components of the navbar, such as navbar menu, navbar buttons, forms... etc. In other words, it wraps all navbar components except .navbar-header.

It's defined by the two classes .collapse navbar-collapse. This box should have an id, this id must be identical to the toggle button data-target="" value.

Contrary to the navbar toggle button, navbar collapse is visible by default on larger screens and hidden on smaller ones. On smaller screens, it is switched from hidden to visible and vice versa by clicking navbar toggle button.

The thing I'm looking for is called the breakpoint. Use that in my search queries. Maybe this. The "2018 update" answer is the one that I want:

Changing the navbar breakpoint is easier in Bootstrap 4 using the navbar-expand-* classes:

<nav class="navbar fixed-top navbar-expand-sm">..</nav>

The options are

navbar-expand-sm: mobile menu on xs screens <576px
navbar-expand-md: mobile menu on sm screens <768px
navbar-expand-lg: mobile menu on md screens <992px
navbar-expand-xl: mobile menu on lg screens <1200px
navbar-expand: never use mobile menu
(no expand class) = always use mobile menu

See this example. So what we really need is to hack is \layouts\partials\navbar.html, which we have already modified when we added the <div id="THECONTENT"> line at the end of the file.

On the top line, change

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" id="navbar-main">

to

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top navbar-expand-sm" id="navbar-main">

Unfortunately, Bootstrap 4 is not supported yet with Hugo Theme Academic (as of June 2018).

Fortunately, the "2018 update" answer has a Bootstrap 3 guide:

@media (max-width: 991px) {
  .navbar-header {
      float: none;
  }
  .navbar-left,.navbar-right {
      float: none !important;
  }
  .navbar-toggle {
      display: block;
  }
  .navbar-collapse {
      border-top: 1px solid transparent;
      box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.1);
  }
  .navbar-fixed-top {
      top: 0;
      border-width: 0 0 1px;
  }
  .navbar-collapse.collapse {
      display: none!important;
  }
  .navbar-nav {
      float: none!important;
      margin-top: 7.5px;
  }
  .navbar-nav>li {
      float: none;
  }
  .navbar-nav>li>a {
      padding-top: 10px;
      padding-bottom: 10px;
  }
  .collapse.in{
      display:block !important;
  }
}

Where one can change 991px to any number over 768px. The case for smaller breakpoints is discussed here. Damn, this doesn't seem to work.

Okay. I give up on this. I should just move on.

Some other notes

It's weird that it works if I just make a local copy of academic.css. The real problem is undoing the navbar stuff in academic.css. Ideally one should put something in

@media (min-width: 800px) and (max-width: 1200px)

in the flipnav.css file that "undoes" the effect of the academic.css @media piece in the navbar section. To do this, I have to go through the academic.css @media part and undo each declaration by returning it to its academic.css or bootstrap default value (if its not touched in academic.css. This is a total pain.

Work in Progress: I think the way to do this is to

Look at the navbar section of academic.css, specifically the @media (max-width: 1200px) portion that describes what to modify when the screen is small.
You need to compare this to (a) the default behavior in academic.css when the screen is large, which is sometimes (b) the behavior specified in bootstrap 3.

This is a bit of an annoying task. A better solution would be to move the whole platform to bootstrap 4, but that's a large undertaking. For now I'm going to leave the default 1200px breakpoint as is.

7. More formatting tweaks

Tweaking job title font

In /layouts/partials/widgets/about.html around line 19 (<div class="portrait-title">), did a minor font change for the job title and organization:

      <div class="portrait-title">
        <h2 itemprop="name">{{ $.Site.Params.name }}</h2>
        {{ with $.Site.Params.role }}
          <!-- <h3 itemprop="jobTitle">{{ . }}</h3> -->
          <h3 itemprop="jobTitle" style="font-family:Lato;">{{ . }}</h3>
        {{ end }}

Make the navbar opaque. Opacity is in the rgba css designator. I'm going to put this in flipnav.css, which I originally made to modify the beakpoint.

.navbar-default{
    background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
}
 
.navbar-default .navbar-brand {
  color: white;
}
 
.navbar-default .navbar-nav li a{
    color: white;
}
 
.navbar-default .navbar-nav li a:hover{
    background-color: #333333;
}

Triple Column in Footer

Footer triple column, inspired by hugo-initio theme by Miguel Simoni. This is a fairly simple one, use a bootstrap grid. We have to modify \layouts\partials\footer_container.html:

The div layout is as follows:
footer site-footer > div botbar1 > div feynmanfoot > div (spacer) > div container

In the default academic theme, the next layer is a p powered-by. What we're going to do is replace that with a div row > div col-sm-4.

Now we should define some logos to put into the columns. I'm adding the information under the #FOOTER PARAMETERS part of config.toml.

Here's what it looks like:

footer_container.html:

<!-- FLIP NEW STUFF: Three columns -->
      <div class="row" id="footer-columns">
        <div class="col-sm-4" id="footer-col-1">
          <img src="{{ $.Site.BaseURL }}img/{{ $.Site.Params.stacklogo }}">
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm-4" id="footer-col-1">
          <!-- <img src="{{ $.Site.BaseURL }}img/{{ $.Site.Params.deptlogo }}"> -->
          {{ $.Site.Params.legalblurb }}
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm-4" id="footer-col-1">
          Powered by the
          <a href="https://gohugo.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hugo</a> engine
          <!-- <br/ > -->

          <!-- <br/ > -->
          &copy Philip (Flip) Tanedo 2018
        </div>
      </div>

config.toml:

  # FOOTER PARAMETERS
  footmark = "layout/feynmanfooter.png"
  stacklogo = "logo/UCR_PhysicsAndAstro_Logo_fordarkBG3.png"
  legalblurb = "All opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of any other agencies or groups."

flip2018layout.css:

/*  FOOTER 3 Column  */

#footer-columns{
  padding-top: 35px;
  margin-right: 20px;
  margin-left: 20px;
  font-size: .75rem;
  font-family:Lato;
}

#footer-col-1{
  padding-bottom: 25px;
}

#footer-columns img{
  max-width: 200px;
  opacity: .5;
}

Footer

Widget pages (like the home page) use the nth-of-type CSS structure to create alternating styles. The final widget may end up with a gray background.

Here's how academic.css does it:

.home-section {
  background-color: {{ .Get "home_section_odd" }};
  padding: 110px 0 110px 0;
  animation: intro 0.3s both;
  animation-delay: 0.15s;
}

.home-section:first-of-type {
  padding-top: 50px;
}

.home-section:nth-of-type(even) {
  background-color: {{ .Get "home_section_even" }};
}

We have to adapt the footer background in case an "even" numbered widget is last and thus has a gray background. This is something we introduced in the #THECONTENT divider and is controlled in flip2019layout.css. This also controls all the even numbered guys.

I can fix this in flip2018.css by removing the transparency:

/* to make "white bg" transparent */
.home-section {
  /* background-color: transparent; */
  /* background-color: {{ .Get "home_section_odd" }}; */
  z-index: 1;
}

... but this gits rid of the transparent background and doesn't really solve the problem. It just means that you can hard code the background color by setting what #THECONTENT color should be.

I think the way to fix this is to apply some Hugo magic to navbar.html and have the <div id="THECONTENT"> line (the last one) set a background color that depends on the number of widgets. Here's a pretty good attempt:

<!-- BASED ON widget_page.html -->
  {{ if .IsHome }}
    {{ .Scratch.Set "section" "home" }}
  {{ else }}
    {{ .Scratch.Set "section" .Section }}
  {{ end }}
  {{ $section := .Scratch.Get "section" }}

  {{ $page := where (where .Data.Pages "Section" $section) ".Params.active" "!=" false }}
  {{ $pageCount := len $page }}
  {{ if modBool $pageCount 2}}
    <div id="THECONTENT" style="background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247);">
  {{ else }}
    <div id="THECONTENT" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
  {{ end }}

The problem with this one is that (1) I still need fix the widget background colors (they're incompatible with transparency) and (2) I get a weird extra space at the top. Hugo seems to be inserting an implicit <br> or something.

For now I think the best answer is to just have odd numbers of widgets. Bit of a shame, but this is something that I can "deep dive" into when there's time.

8. Content

About Widget

We'd like to put a watermark.

In flip2018.css:

/* to make "white bg" transparent */
.home-section {
  background-color: transparent;
  z-index: 1;
}

#watermark{
	/*background-image:url('http://physics.ucr.edu/~flip/images/BG_Bundle2.jpg');*/
	background-size: 700px 350px;
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	background-position:left top;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	position: absolute;
	top: 30px;
	left: 0px;
  pointer-events: none;
	/*z-index: 0;*/
	height: 100%;
	width: 100%;
	text-align: right;
	opacity: 0.1;
}

Now hack the top of layouts\partials\navbar.html (which we already modified for the navbr):

<!-- FOR WATERMARK -->
<!-- Put it here for convenience -->
<div id="watermark" style="background-image:url('{{ $.Site.BaseURL }}/img/{{ .Site.Params.watermark }}');"></div>
<!--  -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" id="navbar-main">

Note: in past iterations I hacked header.html, but this is annoying since it's another template default file that we're over-riding for a small reason. Instead, it's easy to see that header.html is always immediately followed by navbar.html and, further, that the place to insert the watermark is just after the <body> opening, which is the last line of header.html. Thus placing the watermark <div> as the first line of navbar.html gives the identical effect.

CV Widget

Create a \layouts\partials\widgets\CV.html file based on the academic\layouts\partials\widgets\custom.html template. Create a /content/home/CV.md file based on the /content/home/teaching.md tempalte.

In CV.md, first point to the CV.html widget template: widget = "CV".

I started by 'cleaning' CV.html by removing the "no left column" formatting in case there's no widget title. There will always be a widget title:

<!-- Custom widget -->
<div class="row">


  <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 section-heading">
    {{ if $page.Title }}
    <h1>{{ with $page.Title }}{{ . | markdownify }}{{ end }}</h1>
    {{ with $page.Params.subtitle }}<p>{{ . | markdownify }}</p>{{ end }}
    {{ end }}
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">
    {{ $page.Content }}
  </div>


</div> <!-- row -->

Add "download pdf" option:

In CV.html under <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 section-heading">:

    <p>
    <a class="btn btn-primary btn-outline btn-xs" href="{{ $page.Params.cv_pdf }}">
      Download Complete CV
    </a>
    </p>

In the header of CV.md:

# CV location
cv_pdf = "./files/Tanedo.pdf"

In the file structure: /static/files/Tanedo.pdf.

The group logo

In flip2018.css:

/*  for CV WIDGET  */

.sidebarpic{
  /* sets max size  */
  width: 250px;
  height: 250px;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

In CV.md:

# Group Logo
group_logo = "./img/logo/UCRHEP_03.png"

In CV.html:

    {{ if $page.Params.group_logo }}
    <p>
      <img class="sidebarpic" src="{{ $page.Params.group_logo }}">
      <meta itemprop="image" content="{{ $page.Params.group_logo }}">
    </p>
    {{ end }}

Note that I was a bit more clever with the go if statement here. That's probably good practice.

Filling it in

CV.html:

  <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8">
    {{ $page.Content }}


    <!-- ADAPTED FROM about.html -->
    <div class="row" style="margin-bottom: 10px;">

          {{ with $page.Params.interests }}
          <div class="col-sm-5">
            <h3>{{ i18n "interests" | markdownify }}</h3>
            <ul class="ul-interests">
              {{ range .interests }}
              <li>{{ . }}</li>
              {{ end }}
            </ul>
          </div>
          {{ end }}

          {{ with $page.Params.education }}
          <div class="col-sm-7">
            <h3>{{ i18n "education" | markdownify }}</h3>
            <!-- <ul class="ul-edu fa-ul"> -->
              {{ range .courses }}
              <!-- <li> -->
                {{ if .logo }}
                <img src="{{ $.Site.BaseURL }}img/{{ .logo }}" style="height:1rem; float: left; padding-right: 10px;">
                {{ else }}
                <i class="fa-li fa fa-graduation-cap"></i>
                {{ end }}
                <div class="description">
                  <!-- <p class="course"> -->
                    {{ .course_short }}
                    {{ with .institution_short }}, {{ . }}{{ end }}
                    {{ with .year }}({{ . }}){{ end }}
                    <br />
                  <!-- </p> -->
                  <!-- <p class="course">{{ .course }}{{ with .year }}, {{ . }}{{ end }}</p> -->
                  <!-- <p class="institution">{{ .institution }}</p> -->
                </div>

This would be great for a carousel. Cushen recommends: Slick.

Setting Up Slick:

Note: header.html has the line that ranges over custom_css, whereas footer.html ranges over custom_js. This is relevant for slick.
slick.css needs to be in the <head>, which works if you put it in the custom_css list in config.toml.
slick.js needs to be before the closing </body> tag, which means that having it in the footer is fine, except...
... that it has to be called after jQuery (version > 1.7). academic already calls jQuery in footer.html, and further that the custom_js scripts are loaded after jQuery is called. We should be safe putting slick.js in the custom_js list of config.toml. (You'll need to make a \static\js\ folder if you haven't already.) Update: the current version of jQuery being called in academic is an old one. We'll have to call a newer one. ((Hopefully all this stuff gets cleaned up with the next version of academic.))
A few others: in the css directory, include ajax-loader.gif and the slick fonts directory. This clutters things up a little, but we can clean it up later. (I'm not even sure how necessary this is, but it was throwing up errors in my browser.)
I made a flipslick.css and a flipslick.js are based on pieces of code in the slick examples.

flipslick.css is: (use .slider's margin to change the spacing above and below the slider.)

.slider {
        width: 90%;
        margin: 10px auto;
    }

    .slick-slide {
      margin: 0px 20px;
    }

    .slick-slide img {
      width: 100%;
    }

    .slick-prev:before,
    .slick-next:before {
      color: black;
    }

    .slick-slide {
      transition: all ease-in-out .3s;
      opacity: .2;
    }

    .slick-active {
      opacity: .5;
    }

    .slick-current {
      opacity: 1;

First, make a local copy of https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.0.min.js, put it in the \js\ folder and make sure config.toml calls it before slick.js.
Then make a flipslick.js in the same folder and make sure config.toml calls it after slick.js. The content of flipslick.js are the details of the slider. We'll use

$(document).on('ready', function() {
  $('.single-item').slick({
    dots: true,
    infinite: true,
    centerMode: true}
  );
});

So far so good. You can now test this by inserting the following into the research.html template:

<!--  -->

    <!-- <div class="center slider"> -->
    <div class="single-item slider">
    <div>
      <img src="http://placehold.it/350x100?text=1">
    </div>
    <div>
      <img src="http://placehold.it/350x100?text=2">
    </div>
    <div>
      <img src="http://placehold.it/350x100?text=3">
    </div>
    <div>

      <img src="http://placehold.it/350x100?text=8">
    </div>
    <div>
      <img src="http://placehold.it/350x100?text=9">
    </div>
    <div>
      <img src="http://placehold.it/350x100?text=10">
    </div>
  </div>

If that worked, we'll now have to replace that test code with hugo commands that scan over research.md.

Here's how I did it:

<!--  -->

    <div class="single-item slider">
    {{ with $page.Params.research }}
      {{ range .projects }}
      <div>

        <img src="{{ $.Site.BaseURL }}img/{{ .image }}">
        <!-- <img src="{{ .image }}"> -->

        <div style = "font-family:Lato; font-size: .7rem;">
        {{ if .caption }}
          {{ .caption | markdownify }}
        {{ end }}
        </div>
      </div>
      {{ end }}
    {{ end }}
  </div>

Here's the bonus: make it a shortcode
