Acknowlegements and Attributions

Every project, no matter how lonely, builds upon the efforts of others. Hugo B-side is no different.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

—Isaac Newton, 1675.

Acknowlegements

Most everything this author knows about Hugo themes and Hugo templating, he has learned by studying the very useful Ananke Theme. Bud Parr has done us all a great favor with his careful development of this theme. Ananke proved to be one of the better teaching tools I have found for understanding how templates actually work in Hugo.

Much of the look and some of the behavior of this theme comes from studying Tufte CSS as an excellent effort to translate Edward Tufte's style over to web-based publishing. Dave Liepmann has developed an impressive HTML & CSS implementation of much of Edward Tufte's ideas. Those interested in tools that follow the Tufte designs more carefully should look at Tufte CSS, or the related projects: Tufte Handout (in RMarkdown) and Tufte LaTex (for LaTex). Very little of the original quality survived this translation over to Hugo templates and reStructuredText-based CSS, but without these projects it would have been far more difficult to even know where to begin.

Attributions

A "wall of text" is rarely pleasant to look at. Good images help the readability of almost any text. The world is made richer by those artists who share their work through the creative commons.

For the Hugo and reStructuredText page, I have borrowed a couple of typography-related images from the incredibly useful Wikimedia Commons.

The Tufte Example page includes some illustrations to match the images used in "Tufte CSS". For these, I have found versions of the same illustrations in the Wikimedia Commons.
