File Guidelines

Base16 specifies the format of two types of files: scheme files, used for defining the colors that are to be assigned to a template when processed by a Builder, and config files, used by templates to pass information to a Builder when using a template.

Template Config Files

Template files reside in a templates templates folder and have the name config.yaml. These files have the following example structure:

default: 
    extension: .file-extension
    output: output-directory-name
    
additional: 
    extension: .file-extension
    output: output-directory-name

This example specifies that a Builder is to parse two template files: templates/default.mustache and templates/additional.mustache. extension defines the extension of the file that will be produced by a Builder, e.g. base16-default-dark.file-extension, and output defines the output directory that will be created within the templates root directory where the processed templates will be created, e.g. output-directory-name/base16-default-dark.file-extension.

Scheme Files

Scheme files have the following example structure:

scheme: "Scheme Name"
author: "Scheme Author"
base00: "000000"
base01: "111111"
base02: "222222"
base03: "333333"
base04: "444444"
base05: "555555"
base06: "666666"
base07: "777777"
base08: "888888"
base09: "999999"
base0A: "aaaaaa"
base0B: "bbbbbb"
base0C: "cccccc"
base0D: "dddddd"
base0E: "eeeeee"
base0F: "ffffff"

Hexadecimal color values should not be preceded by a "#".
