It's based on [Poole](http://getpoole.com), the Jekyll butler. ### Built on Poole Poole is the Jekyll Butler, serving as an upstanding and effective foundation for Jekyll themes by [@mdo](https://twitter.com/mdo). Poole, and every theme built on it (like Lanyon here) includes the following: * Complete Jekyll setup included (layouts, config, [404](/404), [RSS feed](/atom.xml), posts, and [example page](/about)) * Mobile friendly design and development * Easily scalable text and component sizing with `rem` units in the CSS * Support for a wide gamut of HTML elements * Related posts (time-based, because Jekyll) below each post * Syntax highlighting, courtesy Pygments (the Python-based code snippet highlighter) ### Lanyon features In addition to the features of Poole, Lanyon adds the following: * Toggleable sliding sidebar (built with only CSS) via **☰** link in top corner * Sidebar includes support for textual modules and a dynamically generated navigation with active link support * Two orientations for content and sidebar, default (left sidebar) and [reverse](https://github.com/poole/lanyon#reverse-layout) (right sidebar), available via `` classes * [Eight optional color schemes](https://github.com/poole/lanyon#themes), available via `` classes [Head to the readme](https://github.com/poole/lanyon#readme) to learn more. ### Browser support Lanyon is by preference a forward-thinking project.
