Introduction

Why a manuscript pattern

Makimono treats documentation like a guided reading surface. Instead of compressing every utility into a dashboard shell, it lets chapters breathe and uses deliberate seams to keep orientation stable.

What makes this theme different

• A scroll-inspired hero instead of a generic software splash
• Sidebar navigation that reads like chapter tabs
• Ink-wash treatment for code shells and technical callouts
• High-contrast typography tuned for long reference sessions

Reading rhythm

The layout is organized around a wide article column, a local table of contents, and a sidebar that can stay expanded while readers move between related chapters.

export const manuscriptPattern = {
  rhythm: 'measured',
  typography: 'editorial',
  navigation: 'sidebar-plus-local-toc',
