    collection: chapters
    cover_image: /assets/img/manual-cover.png
  figure_captions:
    enabled: true
    collections: [chapters]

Typical content:

  • Localized manual home pages with layout: manual-home.
  • Chapters under _chapters/<lang>/.
  • Callouts, figures, subfigures, numbered tables and Mermaid diagrams.
  • Optional manual bibliography.

The profile includes a sticky chapter sidebar, right-hand table of contents, reader font controls and search index.

Unlike unaltredocs, unaltremanual keeps linear reading affordances such as previous/next chapter navigation. Use it when the primary path through the content is sequential.
