What is it?

PaperMod is a theme for Hugo, the static site generator. It provides ready-made layouts for blogs, portfolios and personal sites, including a regular post list, a home page with info section, and a profile mode.

The theme covers common site needs out of the box: client-side search powered by Fuse.js, light and dark modes with a manual toggle, table of contents generated from headings, cover images, related posts, and multilingual support with a language selector. It also outputs Open Graph, Twitter Card and Schema.org metadata for SEO.

PaperMod uses Hugo's built-in asset pipeline for fingerprinting, bundling and minification, so it needs no Node.js or webpack build step. Installation and template customization are documented on the project wiki.
