Hextra is a modern, batteries-included Hugo theme for building beautiful documentation, blog, and static websites. It provides built-in full-text search, dark mode, multilingual support, and rich Markdown shortcodes without requiring Node.js or JavaScript tooling.

Use cases

• create a documentation site for my open-source project
• build a static blog with Hugo
• make a project docs website hosted on GitHub Pages
• add full-text search to a static docs site
• create a multilingual documentation website
• build a modern static site with dark mode support

When to choose

• you want a Nextra-like docs experience but prefer Hugo over Next.js
• you need a fast static site with no Node.js dependency
• you want batteries-included features like search, dark mode, i18n, and SEO out of the box
• you deploy to GitHub Pages or any static host

When to avoid

• you need a dynamic, server-rendered application
• you require heavy custom JavaScript or React components in your theme
• you want a fully bespoke design from scratch rather than a prebuilt theme
