Customizing

The glossary itself can be customized in a few ways. You can change the description text, the layout, and even the theme.

Description

You can optionally include a description under the glossary title that can introduce/describe the glossary that will follow below. You can achieve this by shadowing the description.mdx file:

src/gatsby-theme-glossary/description.mdx

## Hey!

This is a custom description of my glossary.

Layout

gatsby-theme-glossary doesn’t use a layout because it’s intended that you shadow the layout component with your own so that it’s properly embedded in your site.

// src/gatsby-theme-glossary/components/layout.js
export { default } from '../../components/layout'

Theme

This theme uses Theme UI so you can read about how to customize the theme in the official docs.
