How do you apply a custom theme to a Distill site or blog? You have two options:
Apply it site-wide by adding a theme key to the top-level of your
_site.yml configuration file:
name: "distill"
title: "Distill for R Markdown"
theme: theme.css
navbar:
# (navbar definition here)
Apply to an individual article by adding a theme key to your
article’s YAML front-matter:
---
title: "The Sharpe Ratio"
output:
distill::distill_article:
toc: true
theme: theme.css
---
The second option allows for you to apply your theme to individual articles, while using a different theme for the rest of your site. Note that this is only possible for stand-alone articles within a website — you cannot apply a theme to individual blog posts only.
