Review specimen
This is the Docsy review fixture described in the brand’s
Hugo theme guidance.
It exercises the states a theme has to prove before it can be approved:
hierarchy, link behaviour, callouts, cards, code, status, and one primary
action. Compare it against the Hextra fixture in examples/hugo-hextra/ — the
two use the same content states, so a migration compares like with like.
Validate the configuration locally, then request promotion. The action below is the only primary action in this view.
What the reader needs first
| Area | State | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Validated | Platform team |
| Documentation | Reviewed | Technical writer |
| Release | Waiting for approval | Release manager |
Link text stays blue — the Docsy look-and-feel guide reads as a link, not as emphasis — while the accent-filled control above stays reserved for the next action. On narrow screens the table scrolls inside its own container rather than widening the page.
A card-led decision surface
Cards are scanning aids, not decoration. Their links stay links rather than becoming three competing primary actions.
Code remains a dark working surface
params:
ui:
navbar_theme: light
showLightDarkModeMenu: true
offlineSearch: true
Inline code such as assets/scss/_styles_project.scss stays distinct from its
paragraph without looking like a second button. The block above stays dark in
both theme modes, with readable syntax and a discoverable copy control.
Status language is semantic
Success is only for a completed, evidenced check.
Warnings describe a condition to assess. The warning colour is gold, never the identity accent.
Errors need a clear next action, and each alert carries a title so the state never depends on colour alone.
Form controls
Control borders use the strong border step, so an input has a perceivable edge against the canvas.
Release check
At 320px, check the menu, table overflow, cards, action, code block, and table of contents. At 1280px, check reading measure, fixed navigation, sidebar hierarchy, and the balance between the content column and its table of contents. Repeat each check in light and dark mode, with keyboard navigation and at 200% zoom.
