Alchemy is a great theme, but it was not using the full potential of
underlying technology. Bootstrap provides an easy way to customize look
and feel of rendered pages, and a lot of themes for Bootstrap are freely
available, e.g. at <https://boostwatch.com>
This commit introduces a new configuration variable BOOTSTRAP_CSS to make
use of any existing Bootstrap skins. All incompatibilities in `theme.css`
were fixed:
- Instead of using constant color values we use Bootstrap css variables for
colors:
<https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/theming/#css-variables>
- The only hardcoded color value left is the color for header/footer
borders. It was moved into a variable `--alchemy-border` for easier
overriding if needed. I have tested the current value against both dark
and light Boostwatch themes, it works ok.
- Pagination template was slightly changed to avoid producing invisible
text with some of Bootstrap skins
- New realfavicongenerator.net packages (https://realfavicongenerator.net/blog/new-favicon-package-less-is-more/)
- Support all possible Pelican feed links
- Add recommended HEAD elements (https://github.com/joshbuchea/HEAD)
- Use minified css assets
- Link to boostrap, clean-blog and font-awesome stylesheets
- Add theme options, better options names
Template consistency, update structure on base.html
