About Scriptorium
A light academia portfolio theme — warm paper tones, serif typography, and scholarly structure for writers, researchers, and creators.
Scriptorium is a companion theme to voidR, created by tesla1618. Where voidR embraces a dark, technical aesthetic, Scriptorium draws from classical editorial design: centered mastheads, ruled sections, and restrained navy accents on parchment backgrounds.
Both themes share the same content engine — articles with BibTeX citations, publications, projects, music, and an admin panel — but present it through distinct visual languages suited to different audiences and moods.
Features
Academic Publishing
BibTeX citations, LaTeX equations, publication management with DOI linking, and reference auto-generation.
Editorial Layout
Single-column reading experience, section rules, and typographic hierarchy inspired by scholarly journals.
Dual Theme System
Switch between voidR and Scriptorium from the admin settings — one codebase, two distinct presentations.
Full Content Suite
Articles, projects, publications, awards, music, experience, and education — all manageable from the admin panel.

How It Works
Content is managed through a unified admin dashboard. The active site theme is stored in the database and applied via CSS custom properties on the document root — no page reload required when switching themes.
Scriptorium uses separate layout components for navigation, footer, and homepage sections while sharing API routes, database models, and core functionality with voidR.
