For Astro Markdoc Template ​

This template is a template that is created with purpose of creating simple sites with taliwind and Astro. You can create simple sites with this template by making good use of @forastro/utilities. They will help with making Non to minimally interactive pages quickly.

It revolves around two packages @astrojs/markdoc and markdoc-html-tag-schemas.

The @forastro/utilities package is featured here so that you can use it for pages. It's useful for solving common challenges with astro. Remember that the components used are in-fact astro components.

Configuration ​

There are only two config files in this repo. astro.config and uno.config. I will split this into two sections.

The Default.astro file contains the main stylesheet for uno. The CSS Variables come from a website called Utopia. A site that is good for using typography and fluid spacing. I decided to use a 12 - 16 font range with a transition from a minor third to a major third.

The --heading-font variable is used for headings the --body-font variable is used for the body. The step variables are used in the Typography component.

Astro Config ​

Experimental Assets are enabled in this template.

Uno Config ​

Uno is configured to use dark mode class needs this so that it can trigger dark mode. The safelisted classes are hidden, fixed, translate-x-full, translate-y-full, opacity-0. This is so that no one ever has to turn them on per project. Most of the time hidden and fixed will be used but, I have found that the translate classes can be used in some projects to make it so that something moves in a specific direction.
