Orrery

A research theme with citations that render properly and figures that number themselves.

== Description ==

Academic writing on the web usually means a PDF, because no theme handles a footnote, a numbered figure and a reference list. Orrery does all three: footnotes get back-links, figures number themselves and can be cross-referenced by name, and references render in your chosen style from structured data.

The print stylesheet is not an afterthought. Footnotes move to the page foot, figures stay with their captions, and URLs are expanded after link text so a printed copy is still usable.

Everything degrades to plain semantic HTML. A reader with JavaScript disabled, a screen reader user, and a crawler all get the same document.

== Screenshots ==

== Installation ==

  • Install and activate the theme.
  • Use the Footnote and Figure blocks as you write.
  • Pick a citation style under Appearance โ†’ Customize โ†’ References.

Figure numbers are computed at render time, so inserting one in the middle renumbers everything after it.

== Frequently asked questions ==

Which citation styles?

Chicago, APA, MLA and Harvard. Adding one is a template part rather than a fork.

Can I import BibTeX?

The reference block accepts a BibTeX paste and parses it.

Does it do maths?

It styles MathML if you produce it. It does not bundle a renderer.
