Here are some helpful tips for setting up this theme.
Most of what you’ll want to configure is demonstrated in the exampleSite config.toml. This is Hugo’s configuration file. You can copy the config.toml in the exampleSite/ to your site root get started.

Introduction allows the use of Hugo’s rich built-in syntax highlighting capabilities. See Syntax Highlighting in the Hugo docs.
Below is an example configuration for Highlight. See Highlight in the Hugo docs for more.

Custom shortcodes can be added to a layouts/shortcodes/ directory in your site root. Below, I use two custom shortcodes to display a data file: the current configuration file for this site! See the source for this page to understand how to use shortcodes.
To ensure Hugo renders any HTML that your shortcode or other additions like Font Awesome uses in posts, make sure these lines for the Goldmark renderer are in your config.toml:
[markup]
defaultMarkdownHandler = "goldmark"
[markup.goldmark]
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe = true
