Fixes#3386 (the part about the wrong months; the other part (layouting
of bibtex) is fixed in #3387)
## Summary
- Fixes incorrect month shown for bibliography entries that do not
specify a `month` in BibTeX.
- Ensures `month`/`year` do not persist between entries in
`_layouts/bib.liquid`.
## Root Cause
- In Liquid, captured variables persist across iterations if not
reinitialized.
- `entrymonth` and `entryyear` were only set when
`entry.month`/`entry.year` existed, causing values from a previous entry
to leak into the next one when those fields were missing.
## Changes
- Reinitialize date-related variables per entry before conditional
captures:
## Behavior
- Before: Entries without a `month` could display the previous entry's
month.
- After: Entries without a `month` display only the `year`; entries with
a `month` display the correct month and year.

Since a lot of our users don't have a coding background and given
recently development with AI agents, I decided to try to add support for
specialized agents in our repository. They were created following
[agents.md](https://agents.md/) "specifications" and are currently 2:
- `customize-agent` - to help new users with access to GitHub Copilot
customize their site
- `docs-agent` - to help us keep the documentation always updated with
the latest changes in our code
I don't really know how useful they'll actually be, but I think most of
our users might actually benefit from the `customize-agent`, so it is
worth a shot.

Edit: also added a link to a [Code Wiki to our
repository](https://codewiki.google/github.com/alshedivat/al-folio) and
[DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/alshedivat/al-folio). This allows any
user to chat online with AIs (Gemini and Devin) about our repository.

This PR fixes the issue #3252 which makes the `quoteblk` dazzling in
dark mode 🙈✨🥹. This is implemented by defining seperated color values of
`quoteblk`s in dark mode thus does not affect the colors in light mode.
This PR fixes an issue where long MathJax formulas in blog posts
overflowed horizontally and broke the layout.
* Added a small CSS rule to make MathJax formulas horizontally
scrollable instead of overflowing.
* Now, when a formula is wider than the container, users can scroll
horizontally without the page layout getting messed up.
**SCSS changes:**
```scss
mjx-container[jax="CHTML"][display="true"] {
overflow-x: auto;
}
```
**Testing:**
Verified that:
* Long formulas no longer push the layout wider than the viewport.
* Short formulas render as before.

## Summary
This PR introduces an automated mechanism to update the citation count
for authors' publications.
- Inspired by @BernardoCama’s suggestion in #3150.
- Resolves#3150.
## Key Changes
- Adds an action to update publication citation counts.
- Note: This action creates a commit on the main branch.
- To trigger further GitHub Actions workflows from this commit, a
Personal Access Token (PAT) must be used (the default GitHub Actions
token cannot trigger subsequent workflows).
- Adds and manages citation data in `_data/citations.yml`.
- Adds and adapts `bin/update_scholar_citations.py` to handle citation
updates.

Hello, the repository owner.
al-folio has been extremely amazing and very easy to set up—sincere
thanks to you and the contributors.
I've found one way that works on my end, where I can retain those very
useful page files, while I currently do not have enough content to fill
them in.
I might be wrong, but my site has been updating correctly.
I hope that I could be able to contribute to this customization guide
and provide a solution for those users who want to continuously use this
to display their content as they gain more professional experiences
later.
Thank you.
## Fix ToC Scroll-Spy Highlighting Issue
### Problem
When clicking on a ToC link in the sidebar, the page scrolls to the
correct section, but the ToC highlights the *previous* section instead
of the current one. The correct section only gets highlighted after
scrolling down a few pixels.
### Root Cause
The `scrollspy` in `assets/js/common.js` was initialized without an
offset parameter, so it didn't account for the fixed navigation header
height (~56px).
### Solution
Added `offset: 100` parameter to the scrollspy initialization to
properly detect when a section becomes visible, accounting for the
header and some buffer space.
### Changes
- Modified `assets/js/common.js`: Added offset parameter to scrollspy
configuration
### Testing
- [x] ToC correctly highlights the current section immediately after
clicking
- [x] Headings remain visible (not hidden under header)
- [x] Smooth scrolling works as expected

Partially addresses issue #3280.
Currently, the RSS feed icon in the socials section will show whenever
`rss_icon` in `data/_socials.yml` has a value --- **even if that value
is `false`**.
Unlike the other social settings, which are empty by default, for
`rss_icon` the default setting is `true`.
So it makes sense that a user might expect `rss_icon: false` to disable
said icon.
This PR just adds a check if the value is `false` and hides the icon if
so.
This reverts PR #2962. The inline script here is exactly the same as the
`/assets/js/google-analytics-setup.js` sourced on the following line, so
Google Analytics is being triggered twice.
It seems that #2962 originally added this because liquid templating of
the setup script didn't work (#3095). However, this was then properly
fixed in #3117.
Currently, the `site.giscus.theme` option is ignored because
`giscus.liquid` always computes the theme as light/dark based on the
current site theme. This PR allows users to configure separate light and
dark giscus themes in `_config.yml`, which will support dynamic updates
when switching between light, dark, or system themes.
Fixes#3269
## Description
This pull request adds support for Academia.edu profiles to the al-folio
social media integrations. Academia.edu is widely used by academics to
share and discover research,.
The changes are minimal and well-contained:
1. Added configuration options in socials.yml for Academia.edu with
organization and username fields
2. Updated social.liquid to handle the new social integration using the
Academicons font which already includes support for Academia.edu
## Changes
The implementation uses Academicons, which already includes the
Academia.edu icon (`ai-academia`), making this addition a natural fit
for the theme.
Unlike some other social media links that only require a single ID or
URL, Academia.edu profiles include both an organization (subdomain) and
a username in the format:
`https://[organization].academia.edu/[username]`. The implemented
solution supports this pattern by adding two parameters in the
socials.yml file.
## Why this is important
Academia.edu is a popular platform used by millions of researchers
worldwide to share their work. Adding support for it in the al-folio
theme aligns with the theme's academic focus and enhances its utility
for scholarly users. Many academics maintain both personal websites and
Academia.edu profiles, and being able to link between them provides
better visibility for their research.
The Academicons font already includes support for Academia.edu, so
adding this feature is a natural extension that makes use of existing
resources in the theme.
## Testing
The changes have been tested locally with a sample Academia.edu profile,
and the icon displays correctly alongside other social media icons. The
changes are minimal and don't affect any existing functionality.

Hi,
I noticed some weird behavior when I turned dark mode off (some of the
text seemed to disappear, it became white :) )
I traced it to: {% if site.enable_darkmode %} in head.liquid
where some darkmode features are place before the if statement.
When putting it inside the if statement then the weird behavior was
solved; see the pull request here :)
Cheers,
Jan
