alt-title.js

Add the title attribute to <img> if the attribute does not exist. The value of the attribute is taken from the alt attribute. It modifies

<img src="foo.png" alt="an image" />

to

<img src="foo.png" alt="an image" title="an image" />

Then the image will have a tooltip on mouseover.

center-img.js

Center <img>, <video>, and <object> on a page if they are the only child of their parent element.

external-link.js

If a link of <a> does not start with http:// or https://, add the attribute target="_blank" to <a> so it opens in a new tab/window.

faq.js

Turn an ordered list on an HTML page into a collapsible FAQ list. Click on any question to toggle the visibility of its answer. Or click on the button at the top-right to expand or collapse all answers. Each FAQ item has an anchor (shown as the # symbol at the end on mouseover) that provides the link to the specific question.

Note that you will need to load faq.css accordingly. See a more detailed introduction here.

fix-footnote.js

Add [ ] to footnote numbers and move the return symbols in footnotes.

fix-toc.js

Fix the table of contents generated by lower versions of Hugo.

hash-notes.js

Convert HTML comments of the form <!--# comments --> to <span class="hash-note">comments</span>. If such comments are found, the document body will gain classes has-notes and hide-notes. You can use CSS to style the notes or hide/show them as you wish.

heading-anchor.js

Add anchor links to all section headings (e.g., <h2>) that have nonempty id attributes.

key-buttons.js

Find keyboard keys in <code></code> and convert the tag to <kbd></kbd>, e.g., convert <code>Ctrl + C</code> to <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>. With key-buttons.css, the keys will be styled as boxes with shadows like buttons. You can learn more details in this post.

load-highlight.js

Disable highlight.js's auto language detection, and then apply highlighting. This requires highlight.js to be loaded in advance.

math-code.js

Write LaTeX math expressions ($\alpha$) in <code></code in HTML or a pair of backticks in Markdown (which will be rendered to <code> in HTML), and this script will remove the <code> tag, so that MathJax can recognize the math expressions (by default, MathJax ignores math in <code>).

no-highlight.js

Add the nohighlight class to <code> in <pre> when it does not have a class, so that highlight.js will not try to syntax highlight the code in it.

render-katex.js

Simply run renderMathInElement(document.body) to render math expression using KaTeX's auto-render extension.

right-quote.js

Right-align a <blockquote> footer if the footer is a <p> that starts with the em-dash.
