Tersus
======
An achingly simple WordPress theme without all the usual cruft.
About
-----
Tersus is an exercise in publishing template minimalism.
https://github.com/splorp/tersus/
Why create yet another theme? Well, as clean and stripped down as some
themes are, we wanted to prune things a bit further.
Tersus was originally named Simplicity — a term that described exactly
what the project was all about. However, that was prior to the discovery
of a WordPress theme already using that very name. After a brief
discussion, several Latin terms were bandied about as replacements.
Tersus (which means ‘clean, neat, or cleansed’) seemed to fit the bill
rather nicely — and here we are.
A version of Tersus is being developed for Tumblr and is also available
on GitHub.

Keep track of Tersus development on Twitter.

Requirements
------------
- WordPress 5.0 or later
- PHP 7.0 or later
Features
--------
- HTML5 structure and compliance
- CSS that has been reset and built from the ground up
- Non-semantic, presentational markup has been dispatched
- Built-in theme options for navigation, sidebar, footer, and
announcement text
- Two widget-enabled sidebar areas
- Responsive, adaptive layout for small screens
- Clean, valid, and awesome
- WordPress Theme Review Process compliance
Child Themes
------------
By removing the majority of the presentational markup and other cruft
from the Tersus parent theme, we’ve opened the door for child themes to
pick up the aesthetic slack. There are currently three child themes
being developed for Tersus.

Tersus is brought to you by Chris Harrison, Grant Hutchinson, Dan Rubin,
and Andy van der Raadt.
Lovely chaps, all of them.
The groundwork for Tersus was based on the Starkers theme created by the
affable Elliot Jay Stocks.
We’d also like to give some props to the fine individuals and handy
resources which have made the development of Tersus much more enjoyable.
Currently on the guest list are Grettir Asmundarson, Beau Calvez, Adam
Chamberlin, Daphne Preston-Kendal, BBEdit, CSS Lint, GitHub Desktop,
Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool, and Theme Check.
Cheers.
