What is Hexo Theme Xiao?
Hexo Theme Xiao is a Hexo theme that turns Markdown blog posts into a static HTML site using Hexo's build pipeline. As a fork of hexo-theme-sagiri, it inherits the layout structure of that theme while carrying its own identity. The theme runs on Hexo, the Node.js-based static site generator, and is written with Stylus for styling. The repository is publicly hosted on GitHub and carries the topic tags "hexo" and "theme".
