Introducing BlackDoc

BlackDoc is a two-column Jekyll theme that's ideal for websites that require a master-detail layout for viewing of content. It's based on Poole, the Jekyll butler, and the Hyde theme.

I needed a two-column layout with a scrolling sidebar to publish my code cheatsheets, and found the Hyde Jekyll theme to be a good starting theme. To complement the color scheme of my main website, I customised the theme to make it look great in black background and changed the sidebar to display scrolling content. I created this theme because I can't seem to find any good Jekyll theme with a master-detail layout. Hopefully, someone will find this useful as well in their own projects.
