Using Announcements

You can display an announcement banner on your home page by creating an announcement.md file in your site directory. This is useful for highlighting important updates, new releases, or any time-sensitive information.

Table of Contents

Usage

Create an announcement.md file in your site folder:

site
├───announcement.md
├───docs
├───logo.svg
├───favicon.ico
└───docula.config.mjs

Add your announcement content using markdown:

**New Release:** Version 2.0 is now available! Check out the [release notes](/releases) for details.

The announcement will automatically appear on the home page above the "Documentation" button, styled as an alert box with a colored left border.

Styling

The announcement uses your theme's CSS variables and displays with:

  • A subtle background using --sidebar-background
  • A prominent left border using --color-secondary
  • Links styled with --color-primary

You can customize the appearance by overriding the .announcement class in your variables.css:

.announcement {
  background-color: #fff3cd;
  border-left-color: #ffc107;
}

Removing the Announcement

Simply delete the announcement.md file when you no longer need the announcement. The home page will automatically return to its normal layout.
