JavaScript?

This theme has no mandatory JavaScript. Optionally, it can load a minimal amount to add some features that are impossible to achieve with HTML and CSS:

• Light/dark mode switch. Enabled by setting theme_switcher = true. (~900 bytes)
• One-click copy of code blocks. Enabled by setting copy_button = true. (~700 bytes)

These two settings can be applied in the [extra] section of your config.toml file.

KaTex support, which requires loading a 274 KB JavaScript file, can be activated for specific posts. This can be done by setting katex = true in the post's [extra] section of the post's front matter.

Other than that, it's a fast site with HTML and CSS. Just the way (most of) the web should be :-)
