Branding

Set the title, logo, colors, fonts, links, footer and custom CSS of your docs.

All branding lives under branding in the config. Every field is optional. The title and description default to the workspace's name and description.

yaakdoc.config.json
{
  "branding": {
    "title": "Acme API",
    "description": "Manage your Acme store.",
    "url": "https://docs.acme.dev",
    "logo": {
      "light": "./logo.svg",
      "dark": "./logo-dark.svg"
    },
    "favicon": "./favicon.svg",
    "colors": {
      "primary": "#0f766e",
      "dark": {
        "primary": "#5eead4"
      }
    },
    "fonts": {
      "sans": "\"Inter\", sans-serif",
      "stylesheet": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400..700&display=swap"
    },
    "links": [
      {
        "label": "Status",
        "href": "https://status.acme.dev"
      }
    ],
    "footer": "© Acme Inc. [Contact us](mailto:api@acme.dev)",
    "defaultColorMode": "system",
    "colorModeToggle": true,
    "customCss": "./brand.css"
  }
}

Site URL

Set url to the public URL of the deployed docs. It enables:

  • canonical URLs,
  • sitemap.xml,
  • absolute links in llms.txt,
  • an absolute "Run in Yaak" link in the HTML.

Logo and favicon

logo is a path or URL, or an object with light and dark variants, alt, href (where clicking it leads), width and height. Local files are copied into the site.

Colors

primary and accent take any CSS color: #7c3aed, oklch(0.6 0.2 290) or rebeccapurple. Under light and dark you can set primary, accent, background and foreground for one color mode only.

Themes receive these as CSS custom properties (--yd-color-primary, --yd-font-sans, ...). See Branding tokens.

Fonts

sans and mono are CSS font-family values. stylesheet loads them, e.g. from Google Fonts.

links adds links to the header. icon is a hint for themes, such as github, discord, x or website. footer is Markdown.

Color mode

defaultColorMode is system (the default), light or dark. colorModeToggle: false hides the toggle.

Custom CSS

customCss is a CSS file loaded after the theme's styles, for small tweaks. With Kiseki, you can restyle its shadcn-style tokens:

brand.css
:root {
  --radius: 0.25rem;
}

For bigger changes, you can eject the theme.

Extra head tags

head adds tags to every page's <head>, such as analytics or verification meta tags:

yaakdoc.config.json
{
  "head": [
    {
      "tag": "script",
      "attrs": {
        "src": "https://plausible.io/js/script.js",
        "defer": true
      }
    },
    {
      "tag": "meta",
      "attrs": {
        "name": "google-site-verification",
        "content": "..."
      }
    }
  ]
}

tag is script, link, meta or style. content sets the inner text of a script or style.
