Docs Theme Addon for DocTheBuilder

Unlock a beautiful, Laravel-style three-column documentation theme for your DocTheBuilder platform. The Docs Theme addon gives your documentation sites a professional, developer-focused look inspired by laravel.com/docs — complete with collapsible chapter navigation, auto-generated table of contents, dark mode, and a signature red accent palette.

Install in seconds through the built-in addon manager. No code changes required.
