<div class="admonition admonition-warning"><p>Lektor theme support is new. It should be considered
unstable and could change in the future.</p></div><div class="admonition admonition-info"><p><em>New in Lektor Version 3.1:</em> Themes did not exist in earlier Lektor versions.</p></div><p>Lektor provides a themes system to easily implement, reuse, and distribute themes.
This allows you to use assets, templates, models, and / or flowblocks built into the theme.
Themes are created by the Lektor community.</p>
<p>Lektor themes work like an extension of the project, allowing you to easily adopt features of the theme such as styles, models, or templates. In all, themes can provide:</p>
<ul>
<li>templates</li>
<li>models</li>
<li>flowblocks</li>
<li>assets</li>
</ul>
<p>Themes can provide all of these as defaults which can be overridden or extended by your project. For instance, if a theme provides a root <code>page.html</code> template, you can create other templates that <code>{% extends "page.html" %}</code>, or you could override the theme's <code>page.html</code> by providing your own in your project's normal <code>templates/</code> directory.</p>
