Hello, Lucent — a Tour of the Theme

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0800

Welcome! Lucent is a clean, fast blog theme for Hugo. This post is a quick tour of what it can do — every feature you see here works out of the box.

Markdown Style Guide

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0800

This post shows how common markdown elements render in Lucent. Useful as a visual regression check when customizing the theme.

Text#

Plain paragraph with bold, italic, bold italic, ~~strikethrough~~, inline code, a link to Hugo (external links open in a new tab automatically), and a footnote¹.

Math Typesetting with KaTeX

Wed, 20 May 2026 14:00:00 +0800

Set math: true in a post’s front matter (or site-wide in params) and Lucent loads KaTeX for you.

Inline math#

The identity $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$ is often called the most beautiful equation in mathematics. You can also use dollar signs: $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.

中文排版测试：字体、标点与段落

Sat, 02 May 2026 20:00:00 +0800

Lucent 的字体栈内置了 PingFang SC、Hiragino Sans GB 与 Microsoft YaHei，中文内容无需任何额外配置即可获得舒适的阅读体验。行高 1.75 对中英文混排都比较友好。

引用与强调#

落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水共长天一色。

中英文混排时，加粗、斜体和 行内代码 的表现如下：使用 hugo server -D 可以预览草稿文章。

列表#

支持有序列表
也支持无序列表
- 嵌套列表项
- 标记符号使用主题色

代码#

# 新建一篇中文文章
hugo new posts/wo-de-wen-zhang.md

主题内置了简体中文翻译（i18n/zh-cn.toml），把站点的 defaultContentLanguage 设为 zh-cn 即可让界面文案全部变成中文。

Building a Blog That Loads in Under a Second

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0800

Most blogs are slow for reasons that have nothing to do with their content. A page of text should not need three seconds and two megabytes to appear. Here’s the mental model I use to keep a static site actually fast.

On Writing Less

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 08:30:00 +0800

The half-written drafts folder is where blogs go to die. Every post that never shipped was, at some point, one honest paragraph away from being done.

Lower the bar. A blog post doesn’t owe anyone a literature review, a hero image, or a conclusion that ties it all together. It can be one idea, stated plainly, published while it’s still warm.

Choosing a Static Site Generator in 2026

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 16:00:00 +0800

Every static site generator comparison ends the same way: they’re all fine, and the author picks the one they already knew. Let me save you the reading.

The actual questions#

How fast do you want builds? If your site will grow past a few hundred pages, build time becomes a feedback-loop tax. Hugo and Zola build thousands of pages per second; JavaScript-based generators are getting closer but still trail by an order of magnitude.
